Cost display configuration in the planboard
In addition to selecting graph types, you can control how costs are displayed in the planboard and related graphs. Two settings determine how cost information is shown:
VAT setting
Display costs including VAT
Display costs excluding VAT
Cost type setting
Display normal (non-indexed) costs
Display indexed costs
By combining these settings, you can view:
Total costs including VAT
Total costs excluding VAT
Indexed costs including VAT
Indexed costs excluding VAT
The planboard and the associated graphs reflect the selected configuration. Tool tips also display cost values according to the active VAT and cost type settings.
* 
Indexed costs are not calculated automatically. If indexed costs are selected, verify that the indexed values have been calculated and maintained manually to guarantee accurate graphical representation.
