Actuals

Overlaying Actual

In RuleFour you can overlay actuals (actual recorded values) over the schedule results.

Schedule with the first three periods showing actuals

To enable Actuals for a scenario. Edit the Scenario, Turn on using actuals and select the final period you have actuals for.

Scenario Configuration Page

Once Actuals are enabled, you can choose to Zero or Override the values by configuing the Actuals field for an Element.

Actuals field set to Override

If you select Override, RuleFour will look for an Input Set named "Actuals" containing an Input with the same name as the Cost Element. If one is found those values will be used for the periods that actuals have been configured for. Otherwise if there is no matching variables, the values will show as zero.
