Adjust the dates of a scenario

You can make adjustments to the dates of your scenario after you’ve created it. 

To adjust scenario dates, you must be the scenario owner and your scenario must have a status of In Progress and a review status of Open.

To adjust the dates for your scenario:

1. Select Scenarios from the left sidebar.
2. Navigate and open the In Progress scenario you want to edit.
3. On the top right corner of your scenario, select the Actions ▼ dropdown.
   • When scenario approvals are required for your organization, select the Submit for approval ▼ button instead.
   • You cannot edit scenarios that are currently under approval review.
4. Select Adjust dates.
5. Enter a new start date for your scenario. 
   • This is the date when the changes proposed in the scenario are intended to go into effect. 
   • The New start date field defaults to the current date.
6. Select how the new date is applied to the changes in your scenario:
   • Select whether dates are adjusted only for scenario changes prior to the new start date you entered.
     • When you select the Only changes prior option, all changes in the scenario are adjusted to the new start date.
   • Select whether dates are adjusted equally for all changes in the scenario.
     • When you select the All changes in scenario option, you can enter a number of days to adjust scenario changes forward.
     • All changes are updated by the number of days you enter. For example, when you enter 3 days, a scenario change with a date of 04/10 and another scenario change with a date of 04/12 are both adjusted to 04/13 and 04/15 (+3 days). 
7. Once you’re done making adjustments, select Adjust dates.
8. Select Close once all dates have been adjusted.
   • The Date column in the Changes tables of your scenarios reflects the adjusted dates.
