Comparion has a large number of options, such as measurement methods for objectives, measurement methods for alternatives, what to display on evaluation pages, alternative wording for "objectives," and "alternatives," etc.
A Project Manager can but need not be concerned with these options. Instead, when creating a new model, four Default Option Sets are presented to the Project Manager:
1) Choice project with few alternatives - pairwise being used for measuring alternatives as well as objectives.
2) Choice project with many alternatives - ratings being used to evaluate the alternatives.
3) Resource Allocation - same with (2) above, usually for the purpose of choosing a combination of alternatives for a portfolio or for allocating resources.
4) Risk Associate Model - for Resource Aligner's Risk Associated Model - with a Rating scale specific to evaluating alternatives risks.
You can view the existing Default option Sets by clicking on your Account Name at the top right, and then select Manage Workgroup > Default Option Sets:
A Project Manager may desire to change one or more options in a model created from one of the default option sets and subsequently create new models based on the options in the model. This can be done by saving a model as a new Default Option Set in the Workgroup.
