In some cases parameter data values may contain values that are not read as countable values but match task names. For example, task names and the level parameter may refer to a ‘Ground Floor’, or ‘Entry Level.' Setting up a Custom Counter allows the user to specify which values should be countable and matched to task data.

A Custom Counter Classification Mapping is similar a parameter classification mapping. However instead of a value the user specifies a Custom Counter to count through the values and match objects to tasks.

Before using a custom counter classification mapping a custom counter must be created using the Custom Counter Settings menu.

The Custom Counter button opens the Custom Counter settings Menu.

The Custom Counter Settings menu contains a list of all custom counters in the project.

The Add button creates a new custom counter. When a custom counter is selected associated values appear in the Custom Value Setup List.

The user must populate the Custom Value List with each possible match.

Custom Counters may contain both custom values and countable custom mappings.

The Add Custom Mapping button adds a new custom mapping to the custom counter.

A Custom Mappings mappings allow users to count over sequentail parameter and schedule data using the custom counter.

For values that are not countable non sequential data the user needs to specify what value needs to be contained in both the task and parameter data to be used in a custom counter.

The Add Custom Value button addes a new custom value to the custom counter.

A custom value needs to be contained by both task and parameter data in order to match objects to tasks.
