Weight Charts

Weight Charts can be opened through the Extended Criteria Dialog and the Criteria Input Summary.

In Within Family Weighting Mode use the Weights Charts to interactively change the weights of the criteria visible in the charts.

Drag each bar up and down to change the particular weight between 0 (no importance) and 1.0 (maximum importance).

As one bar is dragged, the other weights at this level in the hierarchy are adjusted to ensure they all add up to 1.0.

As weights are changed all the open charts are updated automatically to visually show the impact of the change and show how sensitive the decision is the the weight being adjusted.

Lock one or more of the weights at a fixed level by clicking RIGHT with the mouse on the relevant bar. Locked weights are shown in red. To unlock a weight, click RIGHT on it again.

Equalize all the weights at one level of the hierarchy by clicking RIGHT anywhere in the chart window while holding down the SHIFT key on the keyboard.
