The system calls the Planning Modeler with the associated search results in a new window in the portal.

Planning Modeler

The planning wizard helps you to quickly build a planning scenario. It leads you through all the necessary steps and includes a test environment for your newly created scenario. All objects created here can be changed and enhanced in the planning modeler.

BEx Web Analyzer
