The Map Names panel on the Set Up Form dialog is used to identify Predictive Planning key scenarios on the form. The only required mapping identifies which scenario holds the historical data series; the default is “Actual ([current])”. You will need to change this default if the historical data scenario is something other than “Actual”, or if the version for this scenario is different from the form’s version. To make it easier for users to compare predicted results to other scenarios like Forecast or Plan, you can map these scenarios in the Comparison data series section.
When users open the form, several additional views automatically appear in the Comparison Views menu, and users can select from among these comparisons. If you do not map the comparison data series, users can always create custom comparison views manually using the Edit Current View and New View commands. Manually created views are stored only on the user’s computer. If you add special scenarios to Planning to hold prediction results, you should map these scenarios in the Prediction data series section. For instructions, see Mapping Member Names.
