Scenarios

Keep every what-if for a model in one place: pick one to read, filter and rename them, and search, sort and bulk-act across all of them.

Needs a model open

Where: Scenarios

Scenarios is the model's what-if workbench. The list of scenarios is on the left, the selected scenario's results in the middle, and the editor on the right. Browse all swaps the three columns for a searchable index of every scenario.

The Scenarios screen for Harbor Point Bakery — weekly plan: the list with Base and four what-ifs, then for Croissant demand up 30% the scoreboard, Starter what-ifs folded, the workflows card and four KPI tiles with their change against base, and the Scenario editor with the what-if and its result

Open Scenarios

With a model open, click Scenarios in the rail.
Press Ctrl/⌘+K and pick Go to Scenarios. With no model open it reads Open a model first.
On the model home, click Open scenarios or Run a what-if in Step 4.

If the model was deleted, the screen reads That model is no longer available; click Browse models.

Find your way around

The middle column follows whichever scenario you select:

Part	See
Model name and Live model	Always shown at the top.
Base / Scenarios solved scoreboard and KPIs	Read results
Verify	Verify a result
Open in workspace / Diagnose	Read results
Starter what-ifs, Outside context	Run a what-if
Model topology	Topology
Workflows for model	Read results

A model built from a workbook also gets a button to refresh it from an updated workbook; see Start from a workbook.

Make room for the middle column:

Collapse scenarios list and Collapse scenario editor fold each side to a narrow rail. Click the rail (Scenarios or Editor) to open it again.
Drag the edge between columns to resize. The list runs 200 to 480 pixels wide, the editor 300 to 560.
On a narrow window, eode folds side panes for you.

With a scenario selected, the header reads Scenarios › scenario. Click Scenarios there to open the index.

Filter the list

The chips above the list are All, Solved and Failed, each with a count. A chip with nothing in it is turned off.

The scenario list: All 5, Solved 4 and Failed 0, + New, and rows for Base and four what-ifs, the last one not yet run

Each row shows a mark for its state (a spinner while it runs, a check when solved, a warning triangle when it failed, a hollow circle before it has run), its name, and its what-if in two lines. Click a row to select it.

Rows don't show your goal's value by default. Turn on Show objective function in Page settings to show it.
stale · solved rev n and an amber edge mean the model changed since the scenario solved; see Keep results current.
While a scenario runs, a log of its progress opens under its row. It holds only what this browser saw.

Add, rename and delete scenarios

Owner or contributor

Row actions are faint until you hover or tab to the row.

Action	What it does
+ New	Name this scenario (default What-if), then Create. Adds an empty scenario and selects it. Nothing is solved.
Rename scenario (pencil)	Edit in place. `Enter` or Save keeps it; `Esc` or Cancel backs out.
Delete scenario (bin)	Asks *Delete scenario "name"?, "This cannot be undone."* Base has no delete.
Collect this scenario's inputs (captures what it assumed — no re-solve) (clipboard)	Records the values the scenario assumed, without solving again. Shows only on a scenario that hasn't recorded them yet.
Regenerate against the updated model	On stale rows; see Keep results current.

A scenario can't be named Base or BASE DATA. eode quietly keeps the old name (or creates nothing).

Know Base from BASE DATA

Base is the model's own solve, with no changes; its row reads As built — no overrides. It can't be deleted, and once solved it is read-only; you can only re-solve it (Run a what-if).

A model imported from a workbook may also have BASE DATA: the values read straight from your workbook before any solve. "No solve has run yet on this scenario; the BASE scenario carries the solved numbers." It shows the workbook's own KPIs instead of KPI tiles (see Read results), and has no Verify, Open in workspace, starter what-ifs or workflows.

Browse, search and compare all scenarios

Click Browse all n above the list ("Browse, search, group, and compare all scenarios"). The index replaces the three columns, headed All scenarios · n. Click a row to open it in the workbench, or Back to focus to return. New adds a scenario from here too.

Control	Choices
Search scenarios	Matches the name, the what-if, and what each scenario changes. Every word you type must match.
Sort scenarios by	Objective (default), Last updated, Created, Name, Status
Group scenarios by	No grouping, By lever (Price levers, Capacity levers, Demand levers, Supply levers, Other levers, Prompt-only), By status (Solved, Failed, Running, Draft). Click a group's header to fold it.
Density	Compact, Cozy (default), Comfortable. Comfortable also shows each what-if.
Smart lists	All, Pinned, Top performers (the 10 best solved), Recent (the 15 most recently updated), Stale, Infeasible, Solved, Failed

Sort, grouping and density are remembered in this browser. When nothing matches: "No scenarios match your filters."

Each row has a checkbox, its state, its name, a star when pinned, stale when out of date, and By owner when someone created it. A chip names the lever it moves (price, capacity, demand, supply, other, or prompt when there are no structured changes); hover it for the changes. A bar shows your goal's value against Base. A cost model is flipped so a bar going down means cheaper. — means not solved yet; infeasible means no plan could meet every requirement.

Hover a row for Pin / Unpin, Regenerate against the current model (stale rows), Rename and Delete.

Act on several at once

Tick rows and a bar appears: n selected, plus n hidden by filters when some ticked rows are out of view. Actions apply to every ticked row, hidden ones included.

The bulk bar with 2 selected and the Compare, Pin, Regenerate, Duplicate and Delete buttons and the clear X

Button	What it does
Compare	Opens a new workspace named model · compare with Base and up to 4 ticked scenarios side by side. Needs 2 ticked. See Workspaces.
Pin	Pins every ticked row.
Regenerate	Solves the stale ones again against the current model.
Duplicate	Adds name (copy) of each, with the same what-if and changes, not solved.
Delete	Delete n scenario(s)? "Base is skipped. This cannot be undone."

Click X (Clear selection) to untick all.

Limits

Scenario list: 200 to 480 pixels wide (default 260). Editor: 300 to 560 (default 380).
Top performers holds 10; Recent holds 15.
Compare keeps Base plus 4 others; extra ticks are left out.
The progress log under a row isn't saved; reload and it's gone.
