FAQ: Calendars

You can map the 1st-15th and 16th-30th or 31st of every month to a pay period rollup. It's easiest to do this if you have Days as a time strata already. You can import the change to your default calendar using the

Update

option.

When you add new strata to the default calendar structure, you can use the

Update

import option to maintain existing data.

Use the
Reload
import option. The
Reload
option deletes data in all locked and unlocked versions. You can export your data from all versions and reload it after you change the calendar.
Manually delete standard data before changing the default. Standard data includes these accounts: general ledger, custom, metric, and assumptions.

As long as you don't change the default strata, you can add or change any time strata without losing your data.

Your alternate calendar can still roll up to a year, but it must be an alternate year. Once you skip a rollup, you must create alternate rollups after the fork strata. Example: The default calendar is Month > Quarter > Year. An alternate calendar without quarters must be Month > Alternate Year.

Add the rollup to your default calendar using the

Update

option. Example: Add Decade to a Month > Quarter > Year calendar without affecting data or adding an alternate calendar.

Make sure that the alternate rollup is the same as or larger than your default time strata for the general ledger. Example: Your default time strata is Month. Your cube sheet strata is Week, and your modeled sheet is Week. Include Month in your alternate calendar.

We have limitations on how many leaf level cells display for time. Planning by hours would exceed these maximums.

In a Week > Month structure, a week often covers days at the end of 1 month and the beginning of the next. You can't split this week between the 2 rollups. Each week must map to 1 month, which must map to 1 quarter, and so on. As a result, days in January might map to the February rollup.

We currently don’t have any sync processes with Workday calendars.
