Space planning

A space plan provides an environment for a planner to work with a set of planning data, including supply and demand, for a set of locations. A portfolio plan or subplan can have many space plans.

After you define your portfolio plans through the hierarchy of plans and subplans, the next step is to build space plans.

Although space plans can be built on any level of the portfolio plans, normally space plans are only associated with the lowest level portfolio plan. This lowest level portfolio plan is where the geography is set and where space planning typically occurs.

The space plan is the container for scenarios. Each space plan is the data source for all scenarios that are created within it, enabling planners to compare scenarios.

A space plan uses the data that is generated from a planning environment as its data source.
