About the Designer Mass Edit Features

You can define allocation logic for applications with the Designer features.

For an overview of all of the Designer features, see Creating and Managing Rules with the Designer Features. You can use those features and associated screens to define rule set contexts (dimension defaults), define rule sets, and then define rules with their associated data sources, data destinations, optional drivers, and optional offsets. Most of those tasks are performed with the Waterfall Setup features.

The following topics focus on the Mass Edit features of the Designer screen.

To display the Mass Edit page of the Designer screen:

1. On the Home page of an application with data, click Models, .
2. Click Designer, .
3. Click Mass Edit to display that page.

   The Mass Edit page opens, similar to the following figure.

   The Sort box offers the following sort orders: Model Calculation Sequence (the default), Name, Rule Set Name, and Rule Sequence. It is located in the upper-right of the page.

   Note:

   Model Calculation Sequence is determined by the rule set order and then rule sequence within the rule set.

   The Actions menu contains the following options:

   • Replace Member in Rules, Replacing Members in Rules (Rules Express Editing Page)

   • Add Member to Rules, Adding Members to Rules (Rules Express Editing Page)

   • Copy Rules to New Rule Set, Copying Rules to a New Rule Set (Rules Express Editing Page)

   • Copy Rules to Point of View, Copying Rules to a Different Point of View (Rules Express Editing Page)

   • Enable Rules, Disable Rules, Enabling and Disabling Rules (Rules Express Editing Page)
