Switch Desk What-If Tools

This section describes how to use the Switch Desk What-If feature to simulate moving a desk between SA and IMA classifications.

For a visual walk-through, watch the video on performing a desk reclassification.

    WhatIf Submission Details:

    • Title: Short caption describing the meaning of the switch desk task.

  3. In the Pivot table, if the Epoch dimension is selected, the new branch shows all the data belonging to the selected desk moved to the model you specified and all measures recalculated based on the changed data.
