Read this topic to learn how to run the net value simulation and how to view the graphical net value trend.

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

How to run net value simulation

To run the net value simulation, follow these steps:

From the main menu, select Build > Financials > Net Value Simulation.
Select the asset type from the following:
- Devices
- Infrastructure & Peripheral
- Licenses
Click the Filter button in each asset type to filter the simulation criteria. This narrows down the simulation scope.
From Run simulation by, select from the following:
- DATE: Click the Calendar button to specify a date. The Simulated net value column in the right panel shows the estimated net value of the selected asset on the date that is specified.
- VALUE: Fill in a value in the Less than field. When the net value is less than the specified value for the first time, the following columns will be displayed in the right panel:
  - Simulated net value: Shows the estimated value of the asset record that meet the criteria for the first time.
  - Simulated date: Shows the date when the asset record meets the criteria for the first time.
  Note The value is calculated based on the depreciation rate of the asset. If the asset is not depreciated to the specified value within the depreciation period, the last date of the depreciation duration will be displayed in the Simulated date column and the net value on that day will be displayed in the Simulated net value column.
Click Run simulation.
