We will introduce an artificial sample project that will be used to illustrate the Datagrid functionality.
- Alternatives (Alt1, Alt2, and Alt3)
- We named the Objectives based on the Measurement Methods used when evaluating the alternatives with respect to (wrt) those objectives (Pairwise, Rating, Direct, UtilityCurve, StepFunction)
The Datagrid for this example looks like the following:
The Cost and Risk are values used in the Allocate process. The Alternative Attributes, if they exist, are also displayed -- we will ignore them here.
The values in the display are the priorities for the alternatives for All Participants.
Similar Datagrid displays can be produced for any participant or group of participants by selecting the participant or group from the pull-down menu.
You can also select the normalization, either Normalized or Unnormalized;
and then select Ideal or Distributive for Normalized Results.
You can Download the Datagrid as a .xlsx file for one user or group at a time.
You can modify the downloaded file -- such as add, edit, delete Alternatives, enter judgments (for participants Datagrid), and alternative attributes assignments.
