The What If Scenarios List Page (on the What If tab) is the launching point for creating scenarios. The What If Scenarios List displays all the available scenarios and allows you to edit, delete, and view them - provided you have the appropriate visibility - as well as create new scenarios.

Note: You can edit and delete scenarios only if you are the scenario owner. You can view scenarios if you have been given visibility to the scenario, or if the Visibility is set to All Users and you are in one of the following standard groups: Organization, Resource, or  Capacity & Demand.

This topic covers the following:

  • a description of the scenario list columns

  • customizing the list page by adding/rearranging columns
