"Inclusive regardless of period cost" - What does it do?

[Robb_Barrett]

I have all of my tags set as Inclusive (regardless of period cost) and many of my programs with that as well.  What does it do?  I have a LOT of programs that either have or don't have program costs associated with them and I can't get them to show up in RCA reports.

Hey Robb, did you just change that setting today? I believe there's a once-daily sync for things to go over to RCA, so it should be there tomorrow if it was checked today.

Dory is correct on the sync.

It is best practice to alwaysinclude a Period Cost, even if it is 0. Especially if you are using RCA or the Program Analyzer.

The Inclusive Tag means that the system will bring in the Program, even if there is no Period Cost listed. You can set other options like Only if Period Cost and Operational. These are intended to help you filter out Programs that might be Operational or not inherently for an ROI calculation.

I set it yesterday around 3pm CST and it wasn't up as of 11am today. 

If it's best practice to include a period cost then why isn't one included automatically?

that helps with operational programs where you did not want to show it in an RCA report. (before the new feature).
