\**While not directly scored, property sub-type and country, ownership %, and Gross Asset Value (Asset Characteristics) influence relative scoring and asset-level score aggregation.*

{% hint style="info" %}
For entities that are reporting just the Development Component, only the following fields must be completed on the Asset Spreadsheet:

* **Asset Characteristics** - Asset Name, Property Type, Country, State/Province, City and Asset Size (GFA)
* **Reporting Characteristics** - Ownership period, Status, Project started and Project completed

All other tabs can be disregarded.
