How to Import Source Data to a Different Scenario

You want to import your source data into a new scenario, but it does not appear as an alternative in the "scenario" import drawer? - this is due to the "write protection."

Only scenarios using Actuals Write Protection are allowed for imports, which are indicated by a padlock icon on your scenario Dimension page.

Take the following example: only two scenarios: "Imported Actuals" and "Actual" appear as import options; however, we want to import to another scenario named "Allocated Actuals" highlighted in red above.

Therefore, to add a new scenario as an import option, follow the steps below: 

1. Navigate to the Dimension page under the "Scenario" tab.
2. Click on the three dots on the right. 
3. Select Edit Dimension 
4. Expand Write Protection 
5. Select Actuals and Save Dimension.

If you still encounter problems after trying the steps above, log a ticket with the Customer Support team or email support@cubesoftware.com.
