Getting started

This page explains how to reach an analysis and what you can do once you are in it.

Get access and sign in

You need a Vault account before you can open an analysis.

  • EEHM staff sign in at the admin login and already have access to every analysis.
  • External reviewers receive an email invitation when staff grant them access to a specific analysis. The invitation links to a page where you set a password. After that, sign in at the portal login page (/portal/login/). Once signed in, you are taken to the analysis area.

If you have an account but forgot your password, use the Forgot password? link on the portal login page.

If you cannot see an analysis you expect to see, ask the EEHM staff member who owns it to grant you access. See Grant access to reviewers for the staff side of that process.

Find your analyses

After signing in you land on the Analyses list. Staff see every analysis; external reviewers see only the analyses they have been granted access to. Select an analysis to open its detail page.

Move through the tabs

The analysis detail page is organized as tabs. Select a tab to load it. Many tabs save your work automatically as you make changes — for example, when you toggle an R408 measure or change a lifecycle-cost input. Wait for the page to finish updating before you leave a tab so your change is saved.

Editor, viewer, and "can edit costs"

What you can change depends on your role on that analysis:

  • Editor (staff). Staff can edit every tab, including the Model Library and the Cost Bridge Table.
  • Viewer (external reviewer). External reviewers can edit the R408 Credit Selector and the lifecycle-cost inputs so they can iterate without staff doing the data entry. The Model Library stays staff-only.
  • Can edit costs. The Cost Bridge Table is hidden from external reviewers by default. Staff can turn on a per-reviewer Can edit costs toggle that lets one reviewer both see and edit the Cost Bridge Table. Without that toggle, a reviewer never sees the section at all.

These roles are described from the staff side in Grant access to reviewers.
