Overview

The typical workflow for setting up run types, runs, and configuring the parameters is outlined in this section. Each step is described in detail in the sections that follow.

1. Create a run type in the Setup screen (train stop 1).

   If the aggregation status of the run type is Not Started, start the aggregation.

2. Create a run in the Test screen (train stop 2) and override the configuration parameters as desired. Then submit the run.

3. Once the run is successfully completed, review the summary of outputs from the estimation process by clicking the Summary link next to the run. This feature is available only if the run uses the Life Cycle forecast method.

   Note:

   You can create as many runs as desired. These are considered what-if runs and allow you to experiment with different values for configuration parameters and examine the impact on the estimated demand parameters.

4. Set the configuration parameters for the run type in the Manage screen (train stop 3). This will determine the values that should be used in all subsequent batch runs for the given run type.

   At the end of the implementation process, activate the run type to indicate that the run type should be part of the weekly batch process. During the weekly batch, a new run is created for each active run type.

5. Create a mapping between the run type and the application using the Map screen (train stop 4).
