Creating a Line-Item

1. To add a line-item to your assumption, click on the “+” button on an assumption.

2. In the first step to create a line-item, you can select one or multiple simulation nodes for which you wish to create line items.

3. All line items are “Absolute” by default. In the next step you can mark some or all as “Relative” as well as assign a name for each line item.

4. Click ‘create’ to create the defined line items.

Absolute Line-Item:

• Used to enter absolute values as the change to your base data

• Has a fixed dimensionality which cannot be changed

Relative Line-Item:

• Used to enter relative values as the change to your base data

• The dimensionality of a relative line-item can be adjusted

  • In a relative line-item it is possible to select a hierarchically higher level in the dimensionality, which will aggregate the lower level values into the new level
    E.g. The line-item is based on ‘Months’ in the ‘Time’ dimension. By changing the dimensionality and selecting ‘Year’ from the ‘Time’ dimension, all the values from ‘01-2023’ till ‘12-2023’ will be aggregated to ‘2023’.
