Predict: Signals on Templates

Article summary

The Predict Signals feature is available on GTSC, GTEC, and Line Item templates. You can select an option, such as Check Selected Lines or Check All Lines, to display Signals on the supported templates, and use Hide Signals for any signals you do not want to see.

Note
Signals are also available on templates based on budget entities with dimension attributes.

You can check Signals on the selected supported lines or the entire template as often as required. However, every time you change a cell or a set of cells, the signal will not dynamically change on those cells. Therefore, you must check for Signals again.

Note
  • Signals will only work on all the L-type lines in a template.
  • Every time you freshly access or refresh a template, the signals will be lost. You must check for Signals again to see the signals on the templates.

Business Value

This functionality will allow users to prevent any data anomalies due to fat-finger errors or typos. 

In Practice

To access Predict Signals on templates, perform the following:

  1. In your application, navigate to Structured Planning and select a Scenario of your choice.
  2. Choose a Template, and click Input from Template Workflow.
  3. You will now see the Predict button available in the top menu bar. You can access Signals from this menu button or the context menu when you right-click on any cell. In both cases, you can either Check Selected Lines, Check All Lines, or Hide Signals in the template.
    Note
    You can check signals for a maximum of 10 lines at one go using the Check Selected Lines option.
    • The Check All Lines option will not work for large templates. For such cases, it is recommended to use Check Selected Lines.
    • If a cell has a signal, when you right-click on that cell, you will see the Show Signal Context option under Predict Signals. This option will take you to the Signal Context screen to better understand the signal.
