An effort calculation is a formula used to estimate the amount of work required by a task. Effort calculations are defined on the repository level using Effort calculations on the Tools menu.
A basic effort calculation has been provided by WhereScape as a starting point.
Effort calculation information for objects can be shown by right-clicking on the corresponding node in the tree and choosing Show effort calculations (for categories and models with versions) or Model > Show effort calculations (for models without versions, versions, groups and schemas).
You can also right-click in a diagram and choose Model > Show effort calculations to show effort calculation information for the diagram.
From the Chose effort calculation dialog, select the effort calculation to use from the drop-down menu and click OK.
The effort calculation information is shown in a bar graph with the values tabulated below.
