Budget
The budget of a stakeholder is the amount of money it can spend during a session, budgetary considerations and targets can guide the stakeholder in its spendings. The amount of money a stakeholder has during a game is influenced by Income and Cost.
Every stakeholder has a start budget, which can be used during a session. There are various ways to get an insight into the financial status and the income and expenses of a stakeholder during a session.
Accessing the Finance View
The budget can be inspected during a session by opening the finance view. This is a special option that accessed via the action menu.
If this action is not present in any action menu available to your Stakeholder, you can add it to a menu while editing the project:
The budget overview can be added to a stakeholder by first adding a new action and subsequently selecting finance in the Special Options dropdown menu. This overview gives a convenient and quick insight in the expenses and income of a stakeholder. The Budget (Indicator) is another useful tool to gain insight into the cost balance of a stakeholder.
Notes
- This page refers to Budget as the total of income and cost, not to be confused with the Budget (Indicator), an indicator assessing financial targets and income and expenses of a stakeholder.
