Alternate Financial Plan

 
It is possible to show data from an alternative financial model through the global default overrides section of the RPM report configuration structure By default this report will use the work financial plan model that is marked as primary. This behavior can be overridden by creating an entry in the Global Default Overrides section for an alternative financial plan model ID. Global Default Overrides section of the RPM report configuration structure 

def_prj_model_id=xx

where xx = the model ID

Override Financial Model Ability to override the default financial model for the report To override the financial model simply add the syntax under parameter defaults:

model_id=x (where x is the id of the model)
Report will reference financial data from the default model until the syntax is specifically added.
Report Title Configurable report title that appears at the top of the report. If a longer report title is required, then create additional report_title=xxx entries and these will be concatenated together based on the order in which they are listed in the configuration structure. report_title=Strategy Portfolio Financial Health

           

           

Additional Information
