Modifying Arrival, Availability or Event Profile data

Once you have entered data into a profile, you can alter it using Legion's 'modification' tools. Of the methods described below, only 'Set to Value' can be used with Availability Profiles where it changes the state of your data to 'ON' or 'OFF'

Warning: There is no Undo function in the ‘Edit Data Profile’ dialog box, so take care when altering data. If you want to experiment with demand data but do not necessarily want to save your changes, always click Cancel rather than OK or Apply in the ‘Edit Data Profile’ dialog box.

Once you have entered demand data into an Arrival or Event Profile, you can apply modifications to selected ranges of data, using one of these three options:

  • Set to Value–sets the demand within selected entries to a specified value (or changes the state of data to 'ON' of 'OFF' if you are modifying an Availability Profile).
  • Change by Value–adjusts the demand within selected entries by a specified value.
  • Set Percentage–adjusts the demand within selected entries by a specified percentage.

The following procedure assumes you have already selected the Data Profile whose data you want to modify.

To modify demand data:

  1. Select the data you want to modify using any of the methods described in Selecting entries in the graph .
  2. Select one of the three modification options:

    Set to value - Enter the value you want to change the entry or entries to. This value must be greater than or equal to zero. For example, if you enter 10, the selected data will be changed to 10 when you click OK.

    Note: When applying the ‘Change by value’ modification, the modified value can never be less than zero, regardless of the value you enter. For example, 22 reduced by 60 produces zero.

    or

    Change by value - Enter the value by which you want to change the selected data. For example, if you enter 10, the selected data will be increased by 10 when you click OK. To reduce the value of the selected data, enter a minus sign before the value. -10 will reduce the selected data by 10.

    or

    Set percentage - Enter the percentage by which you would like to modify the selected data. This percentage must be greater than or equal to zero. If you enter 125%, the selected data will be increased by 25%; if you enter 75%, the selected data will be decreased by 25%.

    This percentage change is applied individually to all selected data entries and returns a result rounded off to the nearest integer.

  3. Click OK to apply your modifications to the selected data.
