If you select the Dynamic radio button, the From Volume and To Volume fields appear in the table row in front of the days of the week. Values can range from 1 to infinity. The From Volume field is REQUIRED. If you leave the To Volume field blank, the value is infinity. If the range is not important to the spread standard, you can type 0 in the From Volume field and leave the To Volume field blank. For example, suppose you use the KBI for Total Rooms. You know that you will never have more than 500 rooms, so you would enter 1 in the From Volume field and leave the To Volume field blank. If you use a KBI based on the number of rooms, and the time required to perform the variable work increases or decreases with higher volume, you should create and specify additional ranges. Conceivably you can have multiple ranges for each KBI. Be careful to make the top end of the range a number that is higher than you could ever encounter. In the previous example, if you set the range as 1-500 and then enter 501 rooms (because a room was sold twice in one day),
