# Phasing Method

To hold the Phasing method, we will need a new measure element. So we will leave the workview and modify the **Profit and Loss measures** dimension from our Model page.

We will add **Phasing\[s]** under Default. The **\[s]** tells MODLR to add the element as an element which holds string input.

Hit **Save**.
