Indexes
Indexes are essential for managing expectations for rental contracts, property values, and cash flows. The index methods and index series are typically defined at the company level (see Process settings) but can be customized at property level when needed. The Indexes screen provides an overview of the index series applied to a property. To access this screen:
1. Go to the Asset details page of the asset/property you wish to view or edit.
2. In the navigation panel, select Input > Indexes. The following screen appears:
• You can enter a year-over-year change % for each calendar year.
• You can manually override the default values if needed:
◦ Blue indicates the default value.
◦ Black indicates a manually overridden value.
◦ When you remove a manual change, the default value will be restored.
• Additionally, the index assumptions can be exported to Excel, and you can copy and paste multiple index percentages from Excel directly into the grid.
