Mitchell Cloud profile settings now
allow users to modify blend percentage formulas for two stage and three stage.
Users would modify the formula under “system profile”>> “calculations”.

[“User-defined percentages will appear
on the estimate as a manual entry, denoted by an asterisk
[AS1]  (*)”

No changes have been made to guidance
in the Mitchell Collision Estimating Guide (CEG).  The CEG continues to state:
