User Guide

Builder
The builder or model builder is the user who actually creates the original model or enterprise
model by defining all elements of the model, such as boxes, links, variables and financial values,
and attaching financial data.
The builder can perform the following tasks:
● Build and update models
● Calculate models and save results to Essbase or a relational database
● Assign permissions for users to specific models and model data
● Designate which portions of a model are available for sharing over the Web
● Play scenarios in the application and over the Web
● Generate reports in the application and over the Web
● Create integrations for the Oracle's Hyperion® Business Modeling Adapter.
For detailed information on building a model, refer to the Hyperion Business Modeling Model
Builder's Guide.
End User
The end user’s role is an integral part of updating model periods and playing with scenarios.
Using business and operational knowledge to adjust parameters for the original model, the end
user can experiment with the workings of the scenario over the Web to search for process
improvements, time or money savings, or unexpected bottlenecks or benefits.
Based on security set by the model builder, the end user can perform these tasks:
● Update model period data
● Modify available data to play scenarios over the Web
● Generate reports over the Web
● Compare multiple scenarios
● Save changes to forward to the model owner
● Save changes as a new scenario to be shared with other users.
