These are the standard columns in the Eco Options table. Click on the icon on the top left Grid editor show hide to show or hide specific columns on the grid.

Case ID - The ID code that was created by PHDwin that ties each record to a case in PHDwin. New rows should be populated with the proper Case ID

Case Name - The Case Name is presented so that users are able to easily identify the case, even though the Case ID is the value that is used so that the Grid Editor knows which case to add the record to. The case name is used for reference and is displayed so users can identify the case being edited. No changes to the case name will be saved in this table.

Start Date - This is the economic start date at which the program begins to calculate economics and it is the date at which revenue, expenses, taxes and investments will start accruing for the calculation of the economic limit. This date cannot be linked to any events - it can only be hard-coded.

Kill Date - This is the date at which the case will be cutoff if it hits the kill date before its own economic limit. This date will be set to None by default, but can be linked to certain events or hard-coded to a specific date.

Exclude Volumes - This option is used to exclude certain volumes from reporting. Options are: All Volumes Reported (default), No Volumes Reported, Exclude all volumes from summaries, and Exclude gross volumes from summaries. For more information about these options, refer to the Eco Options form section in this manual.

Exclude Case - This option  is used to exclude the case from reporting. It can be either True or False.

Exclude Cash - This option  is used to exclude cash flows for the case from reporting. It can be either True or False.

Life Option - This option  is used to select the method for calculating the ECL for the case. Users can choose from Max Cum Cash Flow (default), Technical EUR, and Max Eco Years. For more information about these options, refer to the Eco Options form section in this manual.

Minimum Life - This extends the economic limit of cases by the specified number of months after the Eco Start Date.

Extended Life - This extends the economic limit of economic cases by the specified number of months after the ECL date. Extended life adjusts the ECL after any specified minimum life has been applied.
