adjust

A function, in the Formula form, that alters item amounts to achieve a user-defined value for a parameter. For example, to create a formula for low fat ice cream, a formulator adjusts items in a no low-fat version of ice cream. The formulator allows the items’ cream, milk, and skim milk to change and enters the desired fat content, a parameter. The item quantities are adjusted by Optiva to arrive at the new fat content.
