Editing Frequencies

Frequencies and their corresponding views are created based on the time periods that you selected when defining the calendar. You can add, modify, and delete frequencies. You can also enter a descriptive label for each frequency and view in each language that you previously defined.

When editing frequencies, you cannot change the label of the YTD frequency, which is contained in the first column of Frequency 1 row. However, you can enter a description of the YTD frequency for each language that you define.

Note:

In addition to the frequencies that you can define, each application contains two system-defined frequencies and corresponding views, Scenario View and Periodic.

If you selected Manually Defined Calendar as the time period for the calendar, the Frequencies grid is empty, and you must enter the necessary frequency views and their descriptions. You should enter one frequency for each level of the Period dimension.

Caution!

After you create an application, you cannot change the frequency descriptions or labels in the application.

  To set up frequencies:

  1. From the Language list, select a language.

  2. Enter or edit the values in the View column and enter a View description.

    You can enter up to six frequencies.

    Note:

    The View label can contain a maximum of 80 characters. The View description can contain a maximum of 40 characters. Labels cannot include these characters:

    . + - * / # { } ; , @ "

    Tip:

    Because you cannot modify frequencies after an application is created, make sure to include a view description for each frequency in each language.

  3. Click Next.
