Calculation Chain

The panel shows a list of chain elements arranged in the calculation order. A certain icon corresponds to each element. A chain may contain:

NOTE. The interface can be used only to rename and delete conditions. Conditions can be created and edited by means of the Fore language.

Operations with Calculation Chain

To add a folder:

Select the Folder item in the drop-down menu of the Add button.
Select the Create Folder context menu item of calculation chain.

A folder is added to the calculation chain after the selected element.

NOTE. The folder cannot be added to condition.

To add a model or metamodel:

Drag the required model or metamodel from the Container Objects panel.
Click the Add button.
Select the Add context menu item of calculation chain.
Double-click empty space in the list of calculation chain elements.

The model is added to the calculation chain after the selected element.

NOTE. A model or metamodel cannot be added to condition.

To add an internal model, select the Internal Model item in the drop-down menu of the Add button.

The internal model is added to the calculation chain after the selected element and the is opened for edit.

NOTE. An internal model cannot be added to condition.

To add a multidimensional cycle:

Select the Multidimensional Cycle item in the drop-down menu of the Add button.
Select the Add > Multidimensional Cycle item in the panel's context menu.

The Multidimensional Cycle dialog box opens where the cycle parameters can be set. Then, the cycle will be added to the calculation chain after the selected element.

To edit the selected chain element:

Click the Edit button.
Select the Edit item in the element's context menu.
Double-click the element.

The selected element opens for edit.

NOTE. It is available only for models, internal models, metamodels, multidimensional cycles.

To remove an element from calculation chain, click the Remove button or select the similar context menu item of the element.

A confirmation dialog box opens. An object is removed together with its child elements.

NOTE. A condition can be deleted only entirely. Separate branches of condition cannot be deleted.

To reorder elements:

Use the Up and Down buttons.
Use context menu commands of calculation chain element: Up, Down, Level Up.
Drag the element to the required position.

NOTE. The option is not available for condition branches.

To rename chain element:

Press the ENTER key or click on the empty space in the calculation chain.

The element will be renamed.

NOTE. The option is available for folders, conditions, branches, cycles.

Automatic Chain Creation

Automatic chain creation enables the user to find dependencies between models and to create a calculation chain in accordance with these dependencies. Autocreation ignores metamodels included into the calculation chain.

NOTE. Dividing multidimensional model with cycles is available if modeling and forecasting is running in the mode on variables.

Click the Build Automatically button to automatically create a calculation chain based on defined parameters.

NOTE. If the Build Automatically item is selected from the context menu of a folder, the chain is automatically created only from the elements of this folder.
