About Modeling
As the business environment evolves, so do the organization's planning needs. Rather than ignoring the need to change the planning process due to the complexity involved in updating technology, business planners can rely on JustPerform's Intelligent Modelling Capabilities to update their planning models. JustPerform intelligently translates business processes and the Value Driver Tree defined by planners into dynamic models ready for process execution.
Modelling involves system configuration related to setting up data structures like models and their corresponding fields and other related information.
Note: A model can meet the business planning and consolidation requirements of an organization. A model is an interface to plan, consolidate, and report data. The functionality of modules and models enables business users to create new modules based on purpose, group these modules under a model, and utilize them to create a report and Value Driver Tree on their own.
Fields
Fields capture metadata information regarding business needs. They guide users to define the level of detail for business needs and maintain master data configuration of these fields on the platform. Fields also allow users to maintain the relationship between the master data as per the organizational structure. Fields are created and categorized into different groups based on their purposes, including:
Enterprise Structure: Dimensions required for reporting in the planning or consolidation process. The business's existing organizational structure with a defined hierarchy can be replicated in the enterprise structure with modifications depending on the planning or consolidation requirements.
System Level: Dimensions required for data classification and populated from the reference app-level selected with predefined master data.
Customized: Based on business requirements, users can create new classifications or groups to maintain specific dimensions.
Models
Standard Model
These models serve as tables that contain data within the system, with pre-existing fields that are built into the framework.
In addition to Standard Models, JustPerform also uses Models as functional collections of Datastore Objects, which are responsible for capturing and reporting data. These models are highly customizable and can be designed to meet the specific needs of the user.
Virtual Models/Module
These models serve as virtual subsets of standard models, allowing users to interact with the data stored within the standard models. Despite being subsets, virtual models provide access to all properties and hierarchies of fields for selection. This functionality is similar to authorizations, where authorizations are applied at the lowest level, yet we still display properties and hierarchies using those lowest level members.
