template itself.
The "actual" day count method counts the actual number of days
in a month (even allowing for leap years) and the total number of
days in a year.
The 30/360 method treats all months as though they have 30 days
and years as though they have 360 days.
The actual/360 method counts the actual number of days in a
month, but treats years as though they have 360 days.
The actual/365 method counts the actual number of days in a
month, but treats years as though they have 365 days.
These different day count methods are sometimes refered to as
"basis" or "day count basis" and are frequently used in financial
calculations.
•
Precision: some calculations require an iterative search for the
answer and take more than 1 second to calculate. When this
occurs, a Computing dialog will appear. Precision affects the
time of the calculation. Setting it to Full will calculate until full
precision is reached. Setting it to Standard will only calculate to
the displayed decimal places. Full precision takes longer to
calculate but is more accurate than standard precision.
•
Auto-Compute: when checked, the application will automatically
determine when the “?” should be visible. When a value is
entered into the template, a “?” will appear next to any other
variable which may be affected by the change. When a value is
recomputed, the question marks will disappear. While this is
checked, any other values that can automatically be recalculated
will be after each change.
For example, if a template contains just two variables, changing
the value of one variable will automatically cause the other
variable to be recalculated. If unchecked, the compute “?” will
remain visible at all times, and values will only be recalculated
when you tap their “?” button.
Variable Preferences
Each of these preferences refer to the variables within the currently
selected template. To set the preferences for a variable, first choose it
