Funding Pools allow specification of sources of funds as well as what the funds can be used for. For example, funds from state governments and local governments might be restricted to be used only for certain controls. When setting up a funding pool, the total amount for that pool is specified as well as how much of the pool can be used for each of the controls.
When funding pools are added to the model two sub-columns will be displayed. The first column shows each pool limit while the second column shows what is allocated. The controls funded are highlighted in green.
You can specify the funding pools for each scenario by selecting the desired scenario in the scenario drop-down:
Click to add, edit or delete funding pools.
You can Ignore a funding pool individually using the Ignore check box.
If is enabled, then a solution is sought whenever a limit is changed or do it manually using the button.
When Funding Pool is ignored in the selected scenario, a message will be displayed as shown below:
Simply click the Enable Funding Pools button to enable it without going to the Portfolio View grid.
