Clearing the Source Model

You use the HACPM_Financial Source model as an intermediary step to store financial data. You download data into HACPM_Financial and then use a map to copy the data into a Master model. After you have copied data into the Master model, you may not need it anymore. You can use the Clear Model menu command to clear data from HACPM_Financial.

For example, when you first set up your Master model, you may choose to download the last 5 years of Actuals data from Planful applications. After that, you will regularly download only this year's Actuals and Forecast data and next year's Budget data. The 5 years of older Actuals data is no longer needed in HACPM_Financial.

In Practice

1. Select Manage > Application Administration > Application Statistics. In the image below, HACPM_Financial is a source model and contains data.

   

2. Select Model > Setup, then select HACPM_Financial from the Model drop-down. Notice that HACPM_Financial is a Source model.

3. Click Clear Model and then confirm that you want to clear the data.

   

4. After clearing the model, note that the model is still Generated. This is different than clearing a Master or Analytic model.

5. Select Manage > Application Administration > Application Statistics. You see that HACPM_Financial now contains no data.
