Model Configuration

When creating a new model, several new items are created by default.

ObjectTypeDescription
TimedimensionA Time dimension which matches the specifications of the model:

- Time granularity
- Financial Year
- Month Build
System.Dimension.TimeprocessA process to create the Time dimension. This includes code for the all combinations of the different model time settings.
Database SchemaMySQL schemaA database schema is created within the MySQL database which comes with the MODLR instance. This uses a sanitised version of the model name. A variable with this schema name is created inside the new Model.

TIP

The Time Dimension may not be ideal for all models and can be deleted or ignored.

Managing a model

The model's name, visibility, and deletion are managed from the Manage Model page, accessible via the model's Actions menu.

Model Information panel on the Manage Model page

TIP

A model can be hidden from selected Modellers. This prevents any access by that modeller to the model, without deleting it.
