Predict: Signals in Dimension based Dynamic Reports

Now 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.

You will see a Show Signals, Resolve Signals, and Hide Signals buttons for every report.

The Show Signals button will automatically be disabled if the system cannot generate Signals for that report. On hovering over the disabled Show Signals button, you will see a tooltip explaining why the Signals cannot be generated.

Once you enable Show Signals, it will remain enabled for that report until changes to the report do not support the generation of Signals. You must explicitly hide Signals for a report if you do not want to view Signals for that report in the future.

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.

Resolve Signals allows you to mark a signal as resolved by selecting a reason from a list of pre-existing options. This will permanently unflag those GL combinations for those specific values. You can choose to resolve a single signal or multiple signals at once. If you resolve multiple signals simultaneously, the same reason will apply to them. 

If you click Resolve Signals on templates, the Resolve Signals pane will appear.

The resolved signal will no longer appear as a signal in the report. Instead, it will be marked with a comment displaying the original cell value followed by the reason for resolving the signal, along with any comment typed in at the time of resolving the signal.

You can 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.

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.

The following is an illustration of the comment.

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.
