Go to to Settings (1) and switch to the effects tab (2).
Add and delete new spending effects. (3)
Specify the name (4) and the percentage of the spending effect you need to reach (5).
Link a financing plan (6). If there is a financing source linked to the defined effect, you will then see the "Amount in Financing Plan", "Sum to Reach" and "Effect Status".
You can also link a cost control set (7). If you do this, APMS will use the values from the chosen cost control set instead of the budget.

To view the effect status either go to Settings->Effects or filter your budget for a certain effect (the filter tab is on the bottom left of the window).
