Creating a Scenario

This topic describes how to create a scenario and load the default input data.
Before you can create a scenario, an app must have been added from an app archive.
A scenario is required so you, the user, can interact with the optimization model at the heart of the application, and its related data.
  1. From the Home page, select the app in which you want to create a scenario.
    The App page is displayed.
  2. Click the Shelf to open the Scenario Explorer.
  3. Click the New scenario link in the Scenario Explorer.
    The Scenario Details dialog box is displayed.
  4. (Optional) Rename the scenario.
  5. Choose whether to include default data for the scenario:
    • Select the Load default input data? check box to populate the scenario with the default data.
    • Clear the Load default input data? check box to create a scenario containing no data.
  6. Click SAVE.
  7. (Optional) Complete one or more of the following actions and click Save after each one:
    • To edit the description of the scenario, click Edit the scenario notes.
    • To change how the scenario is shared between users, select one of the following options in the Sharing drop-down list.
      • Private – No sharing with other users.
      • Shared read only – Other users can view the scenario but cannot modify or delete it.
      • Full access – Other users can view, modify, and delete the scenario.
    • To change the owner of the scenario, select the owner's user name from the Owner drop-down list.
      Note If you try to change ownership in such a way that you will not have access to this scenario, a warning message is displayed so you can cancel the change of ownership if desired.
    • To change where the scenario is to be held, select a scenario folder from the Location drop-down list.
  8. Click CLOSE to return to the Scenario Explorer.
    The new scenario is listed in the Explorer.
  9. Click CLOSE to return to the App page.
The scenario is created and will need to be edited to enter the data and then run. You can enter data by editing the default data in the pages of the app, or by loading data from an external source. See Loading Input Data in Scenarios.
