Drivers are items that drive how another factor may be changing. Usually an amount proportional to the driver allocation is considered for the driven item. Trend is a set of user defined factors. The numbers indicated by these factors are considered to determine the allocation of the driven item. Fixed components are those that remain fixed over the budget period while the variable components are driven by /are proportional to a driver or a specific trend.
