Creating scenarios
To create scenarios, you need a project (Creating a project for scenario management).
1. Make sure the desired project is open (Editing basic settings of the project).
2. In the Edit project window, click the Scenarios tab.
3. Then click the Create scenario icon.
Tip: Alternatively, click the Duplicate scenario icon to copy a scenario. |
In the list, a row is created for the new scenario.
4. Make your changes in the respective columns.

Active |
Via the checkbox, you can select scenarios for editing via the icons. Only scenarios set as active are edited. Notes Via the shortcut menu, you can set several marked scenarios to active state at the same time. You can select filter criteria for the data in a column and thus display only a selection in the list (Filtering the data of a column) |

Description |
Description of scenario |
Procedure parameter set |
By default, a scenario is assigned the same parameter set as the base version (entry 0 from base version). If you have specified several parameter sets, select the set of your choice from the drop-down list (Specifying procedure parameters). |
Modifications |
Allocated modifications Use this button to allocate modifications to a scenario (Assigning modifications to a scenario). If you do not allocate a modification, the scenario corresponds to the base version. Note The Modifications (completed) column lists the modifications assigned and the modifications that are dependent on the ones assigned. A scenario thus consists of the base version and all modifications listed in the Modifications (completed) column. The Modifications (completed, sorted by load order) column lists all modifications of a scenario in the order they are loaded. |
Global layout |
You can use the drop-down list to assign a global layout that is used when the scenario is opened. Note You create global layouts on the Global layouts tab.
