General configuration

Before starting to work on the data model, it is necessary to tell Tagetik that we want to set up a financial planning process so that the system can display:

• all of the menu keys used for that process, regardless of the roles associated with the users;
• all of the attributes present in the various management windows used for that process.

This indication is given by enabling the Cash Flow Planning option in the initial set-up wizard, which can be accessed from the administrator-user’s web interface, following the path Setup & Admin > Settings.

Navigation panel> Settings

It is then necessary to set the following information in the application database configuration:

• assign a name to the entity dimension (Entity name) and account dimension (Account name). The name entered is what the system will use every time the dimension is selected/displayed;
• enable the management of the five custom dimensions, if necessary;
• set the section’s sign to “debit”.

When changing the settings in the configuration, it is necessary to reload the application in order for the changes to take effect.
