Navigate to the Collection screen to create a control initiative that will impact this global variable.

9.__Back_to_the_Collection.png

Select the Control Initiatives tab.

10.__Select_Control_Initiatives.png

Select "Create a new control initiative".

11.__Create_a_new_control_initiative.png

Enter the relevant title and initial cost as well as annual cost. Add control details and select "save".

Navigate back to the Collection by selecting the line and bar graph icon.

13.__Back_to_the_collection_.png

Select the gear box at the top right and a new panel should open up.

Navigate back to the Scenario Collection and to the 1st Party Financial Impact of lost income from network or computer outages, including cloud. The Endpoints re-imaged per day is a local variable that is denoted by the tack icon.

18.__Local_Variable__Endpoints_Re-imaged_.png

Navigate back to the Collection to create a local control initiative that will impact the Endpoints re-imaged per day.

19.__Back_to_Collection.png

Select the create "Control Initiative" tab.

20.__Add_control_initiative_for_local_variable.png

Select "Create a new control initiative".

21.__Create_new_control_initiative.png

Enter the relevant title and initial cost as well as annual cost. Add control details if applicable and select "save".

22.__Faster_Disk_Re-imaging_Initiative.png

Navigate back to the Dashboard.

23.__Back_to_the_dashboard.png

Select the gearbox on the top right and select the Faster Disk Re-imaging control.

24.__Toggle_Faster_Disk_Re-imaging_control.png

Simulated costs are shown for the original scenario (blue), the MFA (green) and the faster disk re-imaging (purple) control initiatives.
The faster disk re-imaging control initiative has simulated costs of $25 million while the MFA initiative brings the simulated costs down to $19.2 million.
