Budget Investment Plan Configuration

Administrators can configure the default resolution settings and timeframes for the Budget Investment Plan, determining how data is displayed—whether monthly, quarterly, or annually—across various time periods, including historical, current, and future years.

While administrators set the default resolution settings, users can further customize them directly within the application to create tailored views that meet specific needs.

Key Concepts

  • Resolution: Defines how data is grouped (monthly, quarterly, annual).

  • Number of Years: Specifies how many years after the first budget year will be visible in the plan.

  • Custom Resolutions: Allows you to override default settings and apply specific resolutions to selected years.
