2. <strong>ITEM</strong> ToolKit & SpareCost<br />

The SpareCost Analysis Module offers a diverse graphical user interface (GUI) in which all project and system data is<br />

entered.<br />

This area is the foundation on which you build your project. The GUI consists of menus, toolbars, project and system<br />

windows and multiple viewing options. The following are samples of features offered by the SpareCost Module:<br />

• Quickly create multiple systems within each project.<br />

• Quickly create a new project by reusing data from other projects.<br />

• Create and open multiple SpareCost projects at the same time and compare analysis results.<br />

• Copy and Paste components and block between projects and systems.<br />

• Simultaneously display analysis result and view components and blocks information.<br />

• Create master libraries of components and blocks.<br />

• Drag-and-drop components and blocks between libraries and systems.<br />

• Display various system and project information in the hierarchy windows.<br />

• Sort and display various information at system and block level.<br />

• Display and chart system and block information.<br />

• Edit project, system, block and component via Dialog and Grid view.<br />

SpareCost Construction<br />

ToolKit offers flexible, powerful and easy ways for constructing SpareCost Analysis. You can simply transfer components,<br />

blocks and systems information from other modules within ToolKit or add different types of components and blocks in the<br />

System Window to create a hierarchy of your system and enter the appropriate information by using the dialog view.<br />

Multiple Projects and Systems<br />

The need to create or review multiple projects at the same time has been made effortless with ToolKit. ToolKit will allow<br />

you to create or open multiple projects simultaneously. Projects can consist of many different SpareCost systems that can<br />

also be analyzed simultaneously. Merge all or a portion of each system together to create a master SpareCost project. This<br />

powerful option will enable you to manage many different projects and systems, create a new system by reusing all or a<br />

portion of an existing system that has been analyzed, plus copy/paste blocks and components between projects and /or<br />

systems.<br />

User Defined Master Library<br />

Analyze your system once and create multiple libraries containing component and block information. ToolKit will allow<br />

you to create and open multiple libraries. This time saving feature will shorten the time for constructing a new SpareCost<br />

system. The analyzed components can simply be added to a new SpareCost System by using the drag-and drop or copy and<br />

paste feature.<br />

Powerful Editing<br />

ToolKit offers many different ways for modifying or editing the information pertaining to components, blocks and systems.<br />

Edit information via the dialog view and the grid view.
