[Equest-users] Where to find summary of overridden defaults etc.

[R B]

If in the baseline (and may be the proposed case), I have made changes from
the auto-sizing (and from the proposed design) to reduce the unmet hours, I
count that as default over-ridden. This is usually a small number (less than
5 if I remember correctly).
