The calibrate module gives you the ability to normalize cost by time, by location or by custom factors you create. Click the Normalize button.

Select Apply next to the factors you want to use.

You can also choose to Show Normalization on the table and on the chart.

To customize the time normalization, input the percentage cost change year to year. A positive percentage means costs increased compared to last year. A negative percentage means costs decreased compared to last year. You can also apply the normalization by month.

The location normalization is based on the location of the project chosen upon project creation.

You can similarly adjust the cost change using positive or negative percentages. A negative percentage means that the cost in the project location is lower than the selected city.

From this menu, you can also add custom normalization coefficients. Provide a description, enter the percentage change, and select the projects to which you want to apply the normalization. Click Apply once done.

Instead of using the Basic Normalization which is based on RLB factors, you can use a custom cost index that you have developed.

These are created at the account level, from the Settings menu, under Cost Index Library. Check out the Help Center for more information about the Cost Index Library.

If you want to have normalization on by default, go to the company settings and turn on the toggle for Normalize by Default.
