Models
Models allow you to define and load your financial objects and scenarios. All models are fully protect and isolated from other models in the system. Financial data can be imported to or exported from a model. Once data or financial objects are added, they become independently part of the model. Models consist of Power User mode where the modeling objects are defined or edited and available Dashboards and Slide decks to populate and work with those objects in a presentation format independent of the under-the-hood modeling experience.
Depending on access rights to a model, when models are opened a user will first be loaded into Power User mode or in available Dashboards or Slide Decks. Again, depending on access, users can select Power User, Dashboards, or Slide Decks from the unified navigation top menu bar.
