Defining Global Contexts for Rules

Setting a global context enables you to define default definitions for dimensions and members that will be used in all rule definitions for the selected POV.

Note:

Define a global context before defining rule sets for the selected POV.

To define a global context for one POV of a Profitability and Cost Management application:

  1. On the Home page, click Models, Models button, and then click Execution Control, Execution Control button.
  2. In the Execution Control screen, select the POV for which you want to define a global context.
  3. Click Edit, Edit button, and then click Global Context to display the Global Context Definition area.
  4. In the Global Context Definition box, click Add Dimensions.
  5. The Add Dimensions menu displays all dimensions for the selected application that are not required system dimensions. Select one to apply to all rules as a default and then click Select Member.
  6. Click the Search button, Search button, then select one dimension to include in the global context default for that POV, select one or more members, and then click OK.
  7. Optional: Repeat steps 5 and 6 for other dimensions.
  8. When the global context definition is complete, click OK in the Edit Point of View window.

The next step is to define and manage rule sets (Working with Rule Sets on the Designer Screen).
