The Report Wizard can be started from the Scenario Manager or from the Reports Manager.

 

This section provides a more detailed step-by-step guide to the input fields required for the Report Wizard.

 

 

a. Enter a name and description for your report.

 

b. Report Type: There are three types of report by default: outlet level report, detailed level report or territory.

 

c. Report Method: Select either SIM (or Spatial Interaction Model) or Territory method. The SIM method will allocate potentials to outlets using a gravity or spatial interaction model. The territory method uses a much more simple approach by simply allocating all the potential within a territory structure to the incumbent outlet.

 

d. Base Scenario: select the base scenario If you are creating reports from the scenario manager list, then this option will already be selected for you.
