Scenarios

Field or Control

Description

Scenario

Indicates the scenario on which the simulation is being performed. The system creates an initial base scenario when you first open this page.

Insert new scenarios for the department if necessary. The system makes the Scenario field unavailable if the budget period is frozen.

Active Scenario

If this scenario is the active scenario, this check box is selected by default.

The training plan is the combination of all active scenarios from all concerned departments, so only one scenario at a time can be active for each budget period, business unit, and department, although you can have multiple scenarios in the system. Once you've created scenarios in this component, you can activate a scenario on the Choose Active Scenario page.

Budget Period Details

The system builds scenarios using all training demands that are associated with the selected business unit, budget period, and department. The system also displays associated employee demand.

Note: An employee or department can be included in different training demands, because category, subcategory, and course code generate demand.
