This screen opens when you add a CASH ax data source and includes the following sections: the Specify Result Sets and Scenarios table, mapping template management buttons, and the Select Projects table. For instructions on how to load data, see Load data from PalantirCASH ax™.

The CASH ax™ loading screen

The Specify Result Sets and Scenarios table allows you to specify how loaded data will be treated. All columns are described in the table below.

The Specify Result Sets and Scenarios table

Column Description
Project Scenario > Name Scenarios are used to calculate the probability of success and to build risk charts. Select an existing name from the list or type a new one.
Project Scenario > Is Failure? Check this box if the selected scenario is classified as a failure scenario. This setting is used with project scenarios to calculate the probability of success and to build risk charts.
Project Scenario > Weighting Weightings are used to calculate the probability of success and to build risk charts. You can specify a weighting even if you load one scenario; for example, a weighting of 50% will result in a 50% probability of success. Weightings should be a positive value larger than zero but there's no maximum limit.
Price Scenario > Name Price scenarios are used to calculate the expected price and to compare the impact of price changes on charts. Select an existing name from the list or type a new one.
Price Scenario > Weighting Weightings are used to calculate the expected price. Weightings should be a positive value larger than zero but there's no maximum limit.

You can drag any column header into the area above the table to group projects.

Grouped project headers in the CASH ax loading screen

Note: Project scenario names are available only for analysis files created in the latest version of CASH ax. If you are using an older file, these fields will be blank.

The Mutually Exclusive Group option determines the field by which projects will be grouped when data is loaded and optimization takes place. All projects in a Mutually Exclusive group (MEG) must have the same project type; PLAN assumes that the project type for the first project in an MEG is the default project type for the whole MEG. For more information, see Mutually Exclusive Groups.

Note: If projects of a different type are detected in the data load, they will be removed from the MEG, and a warning message will be displayed when navigating to the Analyze Portfolio workspace.
