Hi Community. I would like to explore the possibility of extending one of our models that currently has a 0 future periods. So far we created a new model each fiscal year, but now I am considering extending the future years. Besides the space and hard codded line items formulas what would be the other constraints?

    Hi Alex,

     

    #1. Consider your export Files, if your are okay with exporting 2 years data(Assume 1 Current year + 1 Future year) then its fine. But if you want to export only the current year , apply filters based on the rule.

    #2. Also the time periods showed in dashboard,  if you don't want to see future year or past month, apply filters.

    #3. Use Time Ranges for reporting purpose, we can save space here.

     

    Thanks,

    All good points above, and just to add, it is easy to change any hard coded references (e.g. SELECT:Time.'FY19') to be flexible using LOOKUPs and a Time Settings module.  Using this, along with the Current Period setting allows a lot of dynamic flexibility when it comes to filtering and reporting

    I hope this helps

    Good luck

    David
