  Configurable Options opens the Configurable Options window where you can customize some of the settings for the environmental deterioration (ED) and accidental damage (AD) analyses that you can perform in this database.

  Status Updates allows you to record additional information about the item that can be accessed during the analysis but will not appear in the report output (e.g., reasons for certain decisions, status of the analysis, etc.).

   History Log is available only if a history log has been activated at the project level. It opens the Record History Log window for the current item and displays changes that have been performed for the item.
