Managing Models

From the Models page, you can edit, delete, copy, inspect, and refresh models.

Editing a Model

You can edit the description of an existing model or modify the members selected for the model context by removing the existing dimensions and member selection, or by adding new dimensions and members.

To edit a model:

  1. In the Models screen, select a model, and then click edit model icon (Edit Model).

  2. In the Edit Model dialog box, make any desired changes, and then click Save and Close.

Deleting a Model

If you no longer need the models you created, you can delete the models one by one. When you delete a model, the rules in the model are also deleted.

To delete a model:

  1. In the Models screen, select the model you want to delete.

    You can select only one model at a time.

  2. Click delete icon (Delete Model).

  3. Click OK to confirm the deletion.

Copying a Model

You can create a copy of a model that preserves the existing rules, and then revise the copied model with new rules. For example, you can preserve the rules of a particular year's model in the copied model, but revise it with new rules for another year.

To copy a model:

  1. In the Models screen, select a model, and then click copy model icon (Copy Model).

  2. In the Copy Model dialog box, enter a name for the copied model, and then click OK.

    The copied model is now displayed in the models list.

Note:

When you copy a model, all the rules in the model are also copied.

Inspecting a Model

You can inspect the properties of a model.

To inspect a model:

  1. In the Models screen, select the model you want to inspect.

  2. Click inspect model icon (Inspect Model icon).

    The properties of the selected model appear in the right pane.

Refreshing the Models List

You can refresh the models listed in the Models screen by clicking refresh icon (Refresh). The refresh action fetches an updated list of models.
