Modeling and Forecasting Work Modes

The Modeling and Forecasting tool can work in the following modes in the desktop application:

Mode on attributes. It is used by default. Models can be created and calculated based on the data obtained by a set of data source attributes. Time series databases and cubes can be used as a data source.
Mode on variables. Models can be created based on the data from modeling variables. This mode is used to support models created in earlier platform versions, which did not have the attribute mode.

To select modeling and forecasting work mode, use the registry parameter: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foresight\Foresight Analytics Platform\10.0\10.7\Model\UseMsVariablesUI. The parameter can take the following values:

0. Working in the mode on attributes.
1. Working in the mode on variables.

If a parameter of the REG_DWORD type is missing, create it.
