Edit Capacity Planning Scenario Properties

Owners of capacity planning scenarios have implicit rights to edit their scenarios. Scenario owners can also grant instance access rights to their capacity planning scenarios. You can copy a scenario and edit the new copy. When you grant the access rights, you become the owner of the new capacity planning scenario copy.

Edits or actions are applied to the selected scenario and not to the plan of record or actual data. Also, if you edit an investment that was not explicitly added to the scenario, the investment gets automatically added to the scenario in the background. For example, while in a scenario, you modify a team record that does not exist in the scenario with the associated investment. The investment and all the team records are automatically added to the scenario in the background. To edit the plan of record data from the scenario toolbar, select Plan of Record from the Scenario drop-down.

You can edit a limited number of field values for scenario properties, investments, and team properties in capacity planning scenarios or portfolio scenarios. In the absence of the required rights to edit a scenario, all fields on all the scenario pages appear as read-only.

You can also remove or add new investments to this scenario.

Note: In a scenario, the edits are saved as part of the selected scenario.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the scenario toolbar, select the scenario from the Scenario drop-down, click More, and select Edit.

    The properties page appears.

  2. Complete the following fields:
    Scenario Name

    Enter or change the name of the scenario.

    Portfolio

    This field is read-only because you cannot change the portfolio to which a capacity planning scenario is linked after the scenario is initially saved.

    Description

    Defines the description for this scenario.

    Owner

    The resource that created the scenario appears by default. You can select a different resource as the owner.

    Currency

    Displays the currency code for the portfolio.

    Planned Cost

    Defines the planned cost amount of the investments in the scenario.

    Planned Benefit

    Defines the planned benefit amount of the investments in the scenario.

  3. Click Save.
