Version Setup

At the top of this stage you see three text boxes and two check boxes that you use to configure the levels at which the calculation occurs.

Table 2-12 Calculation Stage: Fields

Field Name Field Description

Version Name

Assign a name to each version of a CDT calculation. This allows you to create and save more than one version of a CDT. The version name you assign here is used in the Calculation Report, Aggregate Statistics table, and in the Manage CDTs tab. Version names can be re-used; however, if the version name in question has active CDTs, then you will see a warning that the active CDTS will be removed from the version if you do re-use the version name.

Lowest Tree Level

Use this option to define the maximum number of levels of CDTs to be calculated. The default value is 15. The number of levels in a CDT can at most be equal to the number of attributes used by the SKUs in the category plus 1. (The number 1 is used for the top level of the tree.) When determining the maximum number of levels, you should consider how many attributes should be represented in the tree. (For example, if you only want to see the top six attributes in the CDT, then set the lowest level to 7.)

Minimum Percentage of SKUs for the Terminal Node

Use this option to make sure the terminal nodes have a sufficient number of SKUs. For example, if the current CDT partition contains 100 SKUs, then any one node in the tree containing fewer than 5 SKUs will be considered a terminal node and the tree will not expand further along that branch of the tree.

Process Location Top Level Only

Check this option if you want CDTs to be calculated for the Location Chain only. You can select this option in order to decrease the amount of time it takes the system to perform the calculation.

Process Customer Segment Top Level Only

Check this option if you want CDTs to be calculated for the Customer Segment Chain only. You can select this option in order to decrease the amount of time it takes the system to perform the calculation.
