Identify the three differences between Grid Spreader and Mass Allocate.
A.
Grid Spreader processes on the client whereas Mass Allocate processes on the server.
B.
Mass Allocate generates and runs a business rule behind the scenes, allowing members not displayed onthe form to be updated.
C.
Both M-3CG Allocate and Grid Spreader require special roles in Shared Services.
D.
Grid Spreader gives users a “preview” to the spread result before saving whereas Mass Allocate will
automatically save results to the server.
E.
Both Mass Allocate and Grid Spreader support relational spread.
Explanation:
Grid spread allocates data across the cells on the webform and runs on the client browser.Mass allocate
triggers a calc script which can allocate data beyond cells those are available in the form.
If your administrator has enabled Grid Spread as a data form property, you can specify an amount or
percentage by which Planning increases or decreases values across multiple dimensions on the data form,
based on the existing values in the target cells. You immediately see the result in the data form and can save
the new data or discard it. When calculating the spread data, Planning ignores read-only and locked cells and
cells having supporting detail. Data integrity is ensured by spreading values only to cells to which you have
access.
If you have the Mass Allocate role (assigned in Oracle’s Hyperion® Shared Services) and an administrator has
enabled Mass Allocate as the data form property, you can spread data using the powerful feature, Mass
Allocate, which:
