The system may include common periodizing patterns which are available to all users, but users can also create their own periodizing patterns which are only available to themselves (see Managing Periodizing Patterns).

1.Type the sum to be distributed over the periods in the Periodizable sum column.

2.Click the row for which you want to apply periodizing, go to the Periodizing tab, click  Pattern, and select the periodizing pattern you want to use from the drop-down list. (Alternatively in the Desktop Client: Click on the row with the right mouse button, select Pattern from the pop-up menu and the periodizing pattern you want to use from the list.

The sum entered in the Periodizable sum column is automatically distributed over all periods in the input template.

Tip! To select all input rows in the template so that you can apply a periodizing pattern to all of them at the same time, go to the Periodizing tab and click  Select All. (Alternatively in the Desktop Client: Click the template with the right mouse button and select Select All from the pop-up menu.) You can also select specific rows by holding down the CTRL key and selecting the rows you want.

3.Save the template.

Note! If you do not select a periodizing pattern after entering a sum to be distributed, the  icon is shown in the cell until you select a periodizing pattern.

Note! When you use the periodizing function, the period column cells of the row are locked and cannot be modified. If you want to modify the sums manually, you must release the data by removing the periodizing pattern from the row (see Unlocking Periodized Columns).
