Predict: Signals in Dynamic Reports

You can view Predict Signals in Dynamic Reports. This functionality supports Signals for roll-up members, leaf-level members, calculated members, substitution or derived variables, and simple user-defined custom formula members.

Signals are also supported for Dynamic Reports with a Static Report Set that meet the following criteria:

• The reporting area of the report Set must be Financial.

• Only dimension members (non-attribute members) must be selected for the report set.

The Predict: Signals drop-down menu contains the following options:

• Signals For All Lines generates signals instantly for smaller reports of up to 50 lines.
• Signals For Selected Line(s) also allows you to check signals for the GL combinations that are more appropriate for Predict use cases when the report's size exceeds the maximum limit of 50 lines without any delay.
• Hide Signals for a report if you do not want to view Signals for that report in the future without the risk of losing any data.
• Resolve Signals allows you to resolve redundant signal cells to focus on other signals that require your attention.

The following is an illustration of the  Predict: Signals screen.

You are not required to precompute all scenarios in Dynamic Reports to view the Signals in these reports. Instead, once you have completed the Model Training, you will see Signals for all scenarios in Dynamic Reports.

In Dynamic Reports that already have some formatting defined, the Predict Signals severity colors will take precedence over the report formatting used. Hiding Signals will enable you to view the report in its custom formatting.

Resolving Signals

In Practice

To resolve signals, on templates, perform the following:

1. Select the cell(s) or line(s) you want to resolve, and right-click. 
2. Click Predict Signals > Resolve Signals option from the drop-down list.
   The Resolve Signals pane will appear.
   
3. Select the reason for resolution from a list of pre-existing options. If you resolve multiple signals simultaneously, the same reason will be applied to all.
   
4. Click Resolve.
   The resolved signal will now appear as a comment in the report. The comment will display the original cell value, the reason for resolving the signal, and any additional information provided while resolving the signal.
   

Viewing the Legend Panel 

The Legend Panel displays color codes for signals, each color code represents the following categories: Red (High-Risk), Orange (Medium-Risk), Cyan (Low-Risk), and Blue (Insufficient History).

In Practice

1. Open a template.
2. Click Predict > Check All Lines option from the top menu bar.
   The application displays color-coded signals along with the Legend panel at the bottom of the screen.
3. To highlight a category, unselect the unwanted categories in the legend panel.
   
4. If you want to hide the legend panel, click the Hide button in the legend panel, or click the Predict > Hide Legend option from the top menu bar.
   
5. If you want to view the legend panel after hiding it, click the Predict > Show Legend option from the top menu bar.
