DANGER- Require Spreading Shortcuts to ensure Users intent - OR DATA WILL BE LOST

To perform a Proportional Spread in the older TM1 UIs (Custom Reports & Dynamic Reports)  on had to lead the number with a "P"   For example P1000 to proportionally spread data.

In Explorations, Quick Reports and the Cube Viewer, you do not need to lead with a "P"

Just typing 1000 on a consolidated cell will allow one to data spread.

This is inconsistent and dangerous!!  We have users accidentally overwrite data when they did not realize they were pointed to a consolidated cell.

 

The worst case is with the Cube Viewer which does not even request a confirmation(unlike Explorations & Quick Reports)

 

A user can type a Zero on a high-level Summary and wipe out whole years on data and not even be aware of this.

    agree that the current spreading behaviour in PA workspace is very dangerous; I see it frequently in projects that clients spread data from summary level into details without being aware of it. Once they look at their data on detail level there is then a lot of confusion how that data has been generated. I really recommend to make it more obvious to users when they are utilising proportional spreads via c-level input, eg. by forcing the user to prefix the number with a key or by providing a visual cue that the data was spread from consolidated level into base level.

    Would should suggest the option to have the warning functionality active is set at the server level somewhere. There are plenty of users who will find even having to check the box once everytime they log-in annoying

    Other than shortcuts the standard Data Spread UI can be used, but confirmation warning message still is needed!
