Creating a Master Model

You can create a Master model and then copy the data from the ESM Source Model to the Master model. The Source Model is a 2-dimensional table of data whereas the Master model is a multidimensional model, so you will need to map the fields from the Source Model to the dimensions and members in the Master model.

1. Go to Model > Setup.

2. Create a new model, such as Forecast Model, of type Master.

3. Define dimensions, such as Sales Segment, Time, Scenario, and Account.

   

4. Save the model.

5. Add members to the dimensions to match up to the Source Model you will be loading.

6. Return to Model Setup and click Generate Model.
   Note:

   here is a look at the same Master model from the Web interface, Model Manager.
