Pasting Results

Pasting results enables you to manually copy prediction results into a scenario on the form, for example a scenario named Forecast.

Tip:

If you want to save prediction data for later comparisons without overwriting other scenarios, special Prediction scenarios must be added to the form by an administrator or other user who is able to modify Planning forms before you use Predictive Planning.

Note:

An administrator or other user who is able to modify Planning forms can map a scenario to hold base case, best case, or worst case prediction results. Then, prediction results are automatically pasted into that scenario (Mapping Member Names).

To manually paste prediction results into a scenario on the form:

1. Determine that a Prediction or other special scenario exists so you will not overwrite data in other scenarios.
2. Select one or more members to paste.

   Click the bottom half of the Paste Results button and select from the listed options. (If you click the top half of Paste Results, the Paste Results dialog is displayed for the current member only; see step 3, following.)

   Select from the following:

   • Current Member—Pastes results for only the member that is currently selected in Results View

   • All Members—Pastes results for all predicted members; if present, filtering is ignored

   • Filtered Members—When filtering is active, pastes results for the current set of filtered members

   • Selected Members—Enables you to select members to paste

3. Select scenarios for pasting in the Paste Results dialog:

   • From—Lists all series in the current view that are available for pasting; select the one whose data will be copied

   • To—Lists all scenario/version combinations in the form; select the one to receive the pasted data

   • Prediction range—Select the first setting to use the entire prediction range or select the second and specify how many periods of data to use

     Note:

     If the prediction range overlaps the data range on the form, only the dates shown on the form are pasted.

4. When settings are complete, click OK.
