InputSum usage

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 20:09:33 GMT

I have a customer who is asking for an application where the requirements call for field input at a dimensional (table) level, as opposed to global variables, to drive Projections. This would require extensive use of InputSum throughout the app in a multi-user environment. I’m not finding a lot of documentation around the use of InputSum so I thought I’d reach out to see if anyone is aware of any issues or boundaries that we should investigate before moving forward. For example, after initial testing on a server with multiple users changing amounts at different times, I found some inconsistencies in the "Restore All Values" function.

Any input here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks Alan. Looking for usage on a larger scale running on a server with multiple users. We have the pieces working but my confidence level in the "restore values" is not very high with initial testing. Do you have experience with InputSum and multiple users?

Unfortunately not Kevin.

I look forward to seeing your solution though!
