Preview

A Preview displays a what if scenario, based upon the application of a set of alterations from an AO Panel to the plan.

Generating a Preview is an asynchronous operation. A notification is generated to inform you when it successfully completes or fails.

Some key notifications include:

  • Publish Completed. A publish operation has successfully completed.
  • Review Ready. A preview has successfully completed its calculations and is ready to be viewed. The notification is informational. Use the Previews button to reveal a list of previews to select for viewing.

  • Failure. Failure notifications are created when something errors during the calculation process. These often include the functionality that when clicked they retry the failed operation again.

A preview is based upon a single product for a set of locations; it opens in a new tab within the IP application.

Their design is similar to a Plan View, with many common features such as:

  • Aggregate chart
  • Aggregate area with supply chain navigation
  • Individual location tables with supply chain navigation
  • Promotions
  • Edit metrics
