Sliders

A slider is a user interface element that allows you to dynamically change the value of an input variable and observe the effects on tables and graphs displayed on the Results Summary page. For example, the following group of three sliders would allow you to view the effect of changing operation and maintenance costs (Fixed Cost by Capacity), inverter cost and module cost on the levelized cost of energy and other graphs.

Note. Moving a slider only changes the graph. It does not change the stored inputs or results.

To use sliders:

•	To add a slider, click Choose base case sliders:

•

To change value of a slider, click and drag the blue slider button, which will turn yellow as you drag it. The button indicates the variable's current value, as does the number at the left end of the slider. The red line indicates the variable's base case value, which is the value from the variable's input page.

•	The buttons on the top right corner of the slider allow you to assign the current value to the base case value, change the slider's range, and to remove the slider from the Results Summary page.

Note. Assigning a slider's current value to the base case changes the variable's value on the input page.
