The table below summarizes the settings and components that make up a model’s structural information. It also explains any exceptions that are treated as production data.

Use the tables below as a reference when you work with model data.

Changes to a model’s structural information are:

  • Captured by adding revision tags.
  • Included when synchronizing changes to a compatible target model.
  • Included when comparing one revision tag with another.
  • Not allowed when a model is in Deployed mode.

The data below are production data:

  • Cell values in dashboard grids.
  • Data in production lists published to dashboards.
Data TagsNone
FormulasNone
Functional areasNone
History and Saved History ExportsNone
Imports and import data source (IDS) definitions

If an import is marked as production data, these attributes are treated as production data:

  • Mapping information and related options
  • Sort order and positioning

If an IDS definition is marked as production data, these attributes are treated as production data:

  • File options (for imports from file)
  • The source object (for model-to-model imports)
  • Sort order and positioning

Newly created production IDS definitions and imports can be synced from a source to a target model. For example, from your development to your production model. After the initial sync, only renamed or deleted IDS definitions or imports are included in a sync.

Line item subsetsNone

Production lists

These elements of production lists are production data:

  • List items
  • List item codes
  • List item parents (as defined in the Parent column in grid view)
  • The values of existing properties
  • Membership of one or more list subsets

Additionally, if selective access is enabled on a production list, the Read or Write access for particular users is production data.

If selected as the List format of a non-production list, a production list is treated as production data. As a result, list items aren't sychronized between models.

RolesNone
TimeThe value of Current Period is production data.
Time RangesNone
VersionsNone
WorkflowWorkflow states for list items in workflow-enabled lists.

Users Tab

All available options on the main Users tab in Model Settings > Users > Users, are treated as production data.

User Interaction with Structural Information in Deployed Mode

The following table describes how users can interact with structural information when working in models in Deployed mode.

Structural InformationIn models in Deployed mode, end users and Workspace Administrators can…
ActionsRun actions from dashboards, including processes, imports, or exports.
Modules and saved views

Update cell values manually or by importing data.

Change the formatting and appearance of saved views (for example, by pivoting dimensions) but cannot save any changes.

Line itemsSet up, enable, or disable conditional formatting for line items, but cannot save any changes.
Dashboards

Interact with dashboard elements, but cannot save any changes.

Caution: Although Dashboard Designer is available in models in Deployed mode, users are prevented from saving any changes.

HistoryView and export the model's change history, but cannot save the export as an Action for later use. In the History dialog, the Save Options checkbox is unavailable.
Production lists

Change the contents and property values of production lists as detailed in the Structural Information Reference table above.
