EzEntry Overview — copy-and-paste or grid-based entry method for initial Assumption Set data, available in three locations.

Location 1 — New Assumption Set: File / New Assumptions. EzEntry mode activates automatically based on Square Feet or Units entered: numbers 2,000+ default to Square Footage EzEntry (office, retail); numbers under 2,000 default to Unit-Based EzEntry (apartments, self storage). Before entering data, set whether rates are Dollars or Per Square Foot, and Monthly or Yearly. Paste Column workflow: copy a column from Excel (e.g. tenant names), in EzEntry click the target column header (e.g. Revenue Names), select Paste Column — pastes the entire column at once. Repeat for each column (square footage via RSF, rent rates, etc.) — unlimited leases and expenses can be entered this way. Click Create Assumption Set (bottom right), confirm Yes/Yes — generates the full Assumption Set with all data populated, including Revenue Calculator amounts. Complete the setup afterward via Reimbursements and Market Profiles for lease-end behavior. See Movie / EzEntry for detail on usable square foot, load factor, and other specific entry methods.

Location 2 — Development Spending dialog: Edit / Development Spending, click a column header (Development Item, Quantity, Cost per Item) — Paste Column appears, copy from Excel and paste directly into that column.

Location 3 — Unit Sales dialog: Edit / Unit Sales — same Paste Column method, with columns specific to unit sales costs and pricing.

All three locations use the identical copy-paste-by-column workflow, dramatically speeding up initial data entry for properties with many leases, expenses, or cost items compared to manual page-by-page entry.
