The setup wizard displays the Bulk Costing and Analysis Plugin Properties Configuration settings only in the advanced installation mode. To enable the advanced mode, navigate back to the Select Components window and select the Use advanced installation mode check box.

Selecting the advanced installation mode also allows you to specify aPriori properties earlier in the installation.

Any properties that appear when this configuration window first opens are properties that the setup wizard obtained from a preloaded initialization (.ini) file or a previous installation. Although you can replace the value of a preset property in the configuration field, the preset value takes precedence over the value that you replace it with if the preset value is already saved to the database.

Properties that you specify are inserted into the Bulk Costing properties file, which is typically located at:

To remove a property, select the adjacent check box and click Remove.

To add a property and specify its value:

4. Click the Add button.

5. Highlight and click the property that you want to add from the menu of customer-definable properties that appears.

6. Specify a value for the property in the field on the right.

 

For each property that you want to specify, repeat the process. In all, there are 30 properties that you can specify. If you add all 25 properties, the Add button is disabled.

The properties that you can specify are:
