information as possible when you change the "Goals With a MUF"
list.
The "Common Units Default" combo box lets you identify the
default method to use for converting measures to common units.
When you select a method from the list, LDW converts all
measures currently having default SUFs to the defaults for the
new method. LDW does not make changes to measures for which
you have already entered preferences. In addition, when you
select the Assess::Common Units option, LDW will preselect
the default method for you.
The "Weight Assessment Default" has a similar function for the
assessment methods for the Assess::Weights option.
Under the “Status” tab in the preference set dialog box, the
"Reset" check boxes let you initialize parts of the preference
information for the active preference set. The initialized parts are
set to their default values.
Checking the "All SUFs" box initializes the SUF curves for all
measures to straight lines.
Checking the "All MUFs" box initializes all weights to equality.
Any tradeoffs or other weight information assessed is deleted.
Checking the "All Category Multipliers" box initializes all
category multipliers to one. You must confirm any initializations
when you close the properties dialog box.
Finally, the "Status" line informs you of how far you have
progressed in your preference assessments. The possibilities are
! Defaults Used -- no assessments have been done and
LDW uses the defaults for all needed preference
information.
! Partial Assessment -- some assessments have been
done, but some defaults are still being used.
! Assessments Complete -- all needed preference
assessments have been completed.
