8.5.2 Worksheet Effect Reports


This section describes the screen and parameters that are
used to control the production of Worksheet Effect Reports.
The control parameters allow you to define the Capacity
Planning database file to be used as input, the time
periods, and the variables to be placed on the report. In
addition, you may subset the input data or tailor the
contents of the reports produced.

To get to the Worksheet Effect Report screen (shown in Figure
8-25) on your terminal, you must follow a short set of menus
which are more fully described in Section 1.5 of this guide.
The Worksheet Effect Report control screen appears after you
indicate that you want to insert a new Worksheet Effect
Report inquiry into your catalog of analysis inquiries.  Two
fields are filled on the fourth line when you first see it:
the inquiry name and the inquiry description, separated by a
dash. You enter these two fields on the Insert Capacity
Planning Analysis screen when you request that a new inquiry
be added.

 Figure 8-25. Worksheet Effect Report Control Screen

Some of the parameters in Figure 8-25 are required, while
others are optional.  The following is a discussion of the
various parameters as they appear in this figure.

Report      The 60-character title field for the Worksheet
title:      Effect Report.  No double quotes (") or
            semicolons (;) may appear within the body of the
            title.

Input file: The resource element or business element Capacity
            Planning database file that contains the
            historical observations to be used as input to
            the report.  If you are uncertain of the files
            or file names available in your Capacity Planning
            database, type a question mark (?) in the field
            and a selection list will be displayed.

SYSID:      The SYSID for which the report is to be produced.
            If the Capacity Planning database file was
            defined as having a composite SYSID, this value
            is automatically supplied on the screen.

Hour:       The Zone, Hour or Dayname from the input file you
            would like on the worksheet. This is a required
            field for all input files except for a business
            element file, in which case it is not used.

Specify     Put a Y in this field to specify the CAPAPU
CAPAPU      value(s) to be included in the analysis. The
values:     CAPAPU value is specified on the CAPAPU
            Selection Values screen, shown in Figure 8-26,
            that appears if you enter a Y in this field.  You
            may specify it only if the Capacity Planning
            database file is defined as containing the CAPAPU
            data element.

Number of   The number of days, weeks, or months (depending
previous    on the specification of the input file) of
weeks:      actual data you would like on the Worksheet.

Number of   The number of days, weeks, or months (depending
future      on the specification of the input file) of
weeks:      user forecast fields you would like on the
            worksheet.

Specify     A Y in this field will take you to the Extended
Extended    Options Menu (see Figure 8-27 for an example of
Options:    this screen).  The Extended Options Menu allows
            you to optionally add a list of comments to the
            generated report and/or write your own SAS code
            to subset the input file.

The lower portion of the control screen contains a scrollable
data entry display in which you may specify the data elements
to be included on the report.  Blank entries represent blank
columns.  The following fields are available for each row in
the display area:

Name:       The name of the data element to be included on
            the report.  If you are uncertain as to the
            correct name of the data elements on the input
            file, type a question mark (?)  in this field and
            a selection list of available data elements will
            be presented.

Col.        The first and second lines of the column heading.
Heading 1   The maximum permissible length for the column
and Col.    headings is 12 characters.  No double quotes (")
Heading 2:  or semicolons (;) may appear within the body of
            the headings.

Output      The output format that is used to print the
format:     values for this data element in the reports. The
            report field is 12 columns wide, so any value
            that you enter here should specify a field width
            of 12, or the values will not be right-justified.
            If you specify a format value on the CA MICS File
            and Data Element Selection screen when the Input
            file is defined, this value is supplied
            automatically as a default. If you do not specify
            any value here, then the Profile and Trending
            Analysis uses one of two default output formats.
            For any data element name that ends in the
            characters TM, a SAS format of TIME12.2 is used.
            All other data elements default to a SAS format
            of 12.2.

 Figure 8-27. CAP File Processing Extended Options Menu

Figure 8-27 shows the CAP File Processing Extended Options
Menu that is displayed if you specify a Y (YES) for the
Specify Extended Options parameter on the Worksheet Effect
Report screen shown in Figure 8-25.

The following options are available:

o Specify file selection criteria -The specification for
  building a SAS Macro to subset the input Capacity Planner
  File. See Figure 8-29 to see the screen that is displayed.
  Specify a 'Y' to create/update the macro.  Specify an 'R'
  to reset (clear) any macro that may be there.

o Specify footnotes for the worksheets--The specification for
  placing footnotes at the bottom of the effect reports. See
  Figure 8-28 to see the screen that is displayed.  Specify
  'Y' to place footnotes on the worksheet; specify 'R' to
  reset (clear) any footnotes that are already defined.

When you are finished with this screen, END to return to the
Worksheet Effect Reports Control screen (see Figure 8-25).
