Redwood: Add New Resources to a Simulation Set

You may want to simulate a scenario by changing various planning parameters associated with a resource, such as the number of units available. 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 resources to a simulation set and manage it using the Redwood user experience.

Add Resource to Simulation Set

You can create new resources for what if scenarios in a simulation set by copying the attributes of the existing resources from plan input or output. You can add resources to a simulation set by clicking the Add icon on the toolbar section of the Resources table.
