Adding an asset group to an LOS project

  1. Load the LOS project you want into the Level of Service Calculator.
    To open the LOS Calculator, click Lookup LOS Projects on the Asset Analysis page. Then look up the project that you want to work with and click the link in the Project Code column to open the LOS Calculator.
  2. Click Add above the grid.
  3. Specify this information:

    Specify the type of asset that you want to include in the LOS project.
    LOS Goal
    Specify the desired level of service rating for the assets in this project.
    Budget
    Specify the amount of money allocated for the LOS improvements for the asset group.
    Asset Group
    Specify the asset group that you want to include in the LOS project.

    Deterioration
