This will open the Create a Model Wizard. The first page of
the wizard asks for the Name, Label, and an optional Description of the new model.
The value CorpBudget is entered in all the three text boxes, as shown in Figure
7-25 for the purpose of the examples in this chapter. Select the Allow This Model to
be Shared check box to make this model to allow this model to share its data with
model subsites. When sharing with model subsites, they can see but not modify the
root model. Subsites can, however, add their own data or dimensions which will not
be visible to the root model.
On the next page of the wizard select the first option to Create a New Model. Here
the modeler has a choice of several different model types to choose from.
Generic model Two predefi ned dimensions, Scenario and Time, are added to
the model automatically, but predefi ned accounting rules are not added.
Global Assumption model This model contains assumptions available to all
model sites. The predefi ned dimensions Scenario and Time are automatically
added to this model type. To fully use assumption model functionality, assumption
models should be linked to other models in Planning Business Modeler.
Exchange Rate model This model is a special-purpose assumption model
that tracks foreign exchange rates for a specifi ed time across all currencies
in the system. In addition to Scenario and Time, the following dimensions
are automatically added: Currency (Destinations), Exchange Rate, Currency
(Source), and Entity.
