You're illustrating participating insurance and you want to show projected values based on something other than a flat projected dividend scale.

From year | To year | Current minus |

6 | 10 | 0.5% |
11 | 20 | 1.0% |

And the values from your Custom scale are the values that are used in any Sales Strategy you generate for the illustration.
