Properties in Capex Strategy

Properties in Weissr Capex Strategy are structured data fields that define and describe key aspects of each alternative. They play a central role in alternative analysis workflows, helping maintain accurate, consistent, and well-organized information across your strategy framework.

Properties can be either:

  • System-defined (built-in and non-editable)

  • Dynamic (custom-created by administrators)

This dual approach gives organizations both flexibility and control, allowing properties to reflect internal processes, business needs, and decision-making priorities.

The Properties tab serves as the central hub for managing these data points. From here, administrators can view, create, and update all properties used in Base Alternatives, Strategic Building Blocks, and Strategic Alternatives. The list is organized alphabetically to make it easy to locate and manage properties as your strategy evolves.



Property categories

Static system properties

Predefined and core to Weissr’s functionality. These cannot be deleted or customized. Examples: Name, Short name, Creation date, Model health.

For a full list and detailed descriptions of system properties, refer to: System Properties for Capex Strategy

Applicability to alternative types and summary forms

The same property can be reused across Base Alternatives, Strategic Building Blocks, and Strategic Alternatives, minimizing the need to duplicate similar properties.

  • Applicability settings define where a property is visible and editable.

  • There is no data inheritance between alternatives. Property values must be entered at the level where they are used.

Examples:

  • Current challenges and pain points
