  3. Check the checkbox next to an item to mark it as "In" for the scenario. Items that are "In" are included in the roll up calculation for the cost and benefits.

  4. Uncheck the checkbox next to an item to mark it as "Out" for the scenario. Items that are "Out" are not included in the roll up calculation for the cost and benefits.
