It would seem to me that a 'difficulty factor' would apply on a job by job basis.

Is that the only way to apply this? That really is a difficulty factor.

Difficulty factor is a great way to adjust labor of a phase.
It is done through the project though, by going to D-Tools>Options and selecting the Phases tab.
Changes in a project do not affect the setup tables for phases.
Difficulty factor adjusts the total labor hours for the phase and as a result the total dollars.
CAUTION!
Difficulty factor is not working properly in SI5 at this time. It is affecting the dollars in the phase rather that the hours and thus the dollars.
There are several other issues related to the difficulty factor that are not working properly in SI5 at this time which have been reported to D-Tools nad will hopefully be addressed in this service pack update expected this week.
