How the Template is defined

The AboveSoft Adaptive Estimator template is the heart of the application. These templates can be defined by the user (from the Menu > File > Edit Templates). A good template will result in good estimations; or at least be closer to good estimations, which due to the learning ability of the application will end up in better estimations.

The application comes with some already predefined templates -on the installation directory-; these are:

SAP ABAP - English template.aet (default) ABAP/4 preconfigured template. Requires some technical knowledge to achieve an estimation.
SAP ABAP - Spanish template.aet Spanish version of the previous template.
SAP Functional - English template.aet Does not require technical knowledge. Use it for customizing and when project components are not yet designed.
SAP Functional - Spanish template.aet Spanish version of the previous template.
An estimation exists.aet Use this template if you already have an estimation and you want to exploit the exponential regression or expenditure estimation.

These templates are self-explained. Edit these templates from the "Menu > Files > Edit templates" and read the information included as comments.
