Manage project scenarios

In CASH, you can model "what if" situations (for example, calculating a field’s production profile against different exploration or development costs) with the help of project scenarios. Each scenario is stored in a separate workbook, formatted according to the project template stored in a Regime. All projects must contain at least one scenario; when you create a project, it is created with the default scenario.

Scenarios are first created in the administration area of CASH (see Scenarios) and then added to individual projects. If you want to add a scenario to several projects at once, you can use the Scenario Builder (see Add scenarios to multiple projects).

You can add new scenarios or copy them inside a project with the help of the Project Scenarios menu on the Palantir tab on the ribbon. A project can contain as many project scenarios as necessary.

To add a scenario to a project:

  1. In the project, expand the Project Scenarios menu and select Add. The list of available scenarios will be displayed.
  2. Select a scenario from the list and click OK.
  3. The new scenario will appear on the list in the Project Scenarios menu and will be automatically opened in Excel.

To switch between scenarios, select them from the Project Scenarios list.

To delete a scenario from a project:

  1. In the project, expand the Project Scenarios menu and select Delete. The list of scenarios attached to this project will be displayed.
  2. Select a scenario from the list and click OK.
  3. The scenario will be removed from the list in the Project Scenarios menu.

To copy an existing scenario into another scenario:

  1. In the project, select the scenario which you want to copy in the Project Scenarios menu and it will be opened.
  2. Expand the Project Scenarios menu and select Copy. The list of all existing scenarios will be displayed.
  3. Select a scenario from the list and click OK.
  4. The currently opened scenario will be copied into the selected scenario.
