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.

Element	Description
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 to display only a selection in the list (Filtering the data of a column).
Number	Number of the scenario
Code	Code of scenario
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.
Calculation status	Calculation status of the scenario (Calculating scenarios locally on a computer)
Progress	Progress of the calculation of the scenario
Calculation start time	Date and start time of the last calculation of the scenario
Calculation end time	Date and end time of the last calculation of the scenario
Calculation duration	Duration of the last calculation of the scenario
Compute node	Name of the compute node used for the calculation

Notes: Click the Select attributes icon to show and hide columns (Selection of multiple attributes). Here you can also select the code numbers you specified in the Basic settings tab (Editing basic settings of the project).

If required, you can group the columns using the shortcut menu (Aggregating rows of a list).

From Visum 25, it is no longer possible to allocate global layouts to scenarios. For previous existing allocations, a user-defined attribute FormerGlobalLayoutNo is created when importing older files, which specifies the number of the previously allocated global layout for each scenario.
