Redwood: Add New Items to a Simulation Set

You may want to simulate a scenario by changing various planning parameters associated with an item such as the order modifiers. You can use a simulation set where you want the changes to persist and be available across multiple plan scenarios. With this update, you can add items to a simulation set and manage it using the Redwood user experience.

Add Items to Simulation Set

You can add or copy items to a simulation set by clicking the Add icon on the toolbar section of the Items table.
