# Editing the Model Settings

## Overview

For every model, you can define certain time settings, which include the **granularity**, the **date range**, and the **last actual date** for your model.

In addition, you can specify the use of **relative dates** and **fiscal years** and how you want to highlight certain time spans in your views.

## Editing the Model Settings

To edit the settings for a model:

{% stepper %}
{% stepper-step %}
Click the gear icon to open the **Model settings**.
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
Adjust the options as necessary.

 For a description of the options see the following sections.
{% /stepper-step %}
{% stepper-step %}
In the **Apply Changes** dialog that appears, choose if you want to apply the changes **to the current model only** or **to all linked models**.

{% /stepper-step %}
{% /stepper %}
## Options

The following options are available for model settings:

The model settings

#### AI features

Here, you can **enable vibe mode**. Vibe mode turns on automatic AI suggestions for new variables as you build your model, without needing to be manually triggered each time.

For more information on this topic, see [Creating Variables Using AI](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/modeling-your-data/create-edit-variables/creating-variables-using-AI.md).

#### Exchange rates

Here, you can configure the **exchange rates** that are used for **currency translation**.

For more information on this topic, see [Using Currency and Currency Translation](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/modeling-your-data/currency---fx-conversion.md).

#### Time settings

Here, you can define certain time settings, which include the **granularity**, the **date range**, and the **last actual date** for your model.

For more information on this topic, see [Working With Time](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/modeling-your-data/working-with-time.md).

#### Export and download

Here, you can export your model(s) out of xP&A into a variety of formats and file types. This is useful, for example, if you want to share your model with people outside of xP&A or to save a local or offline copy of your model and its data.

For more information on this topic, see [Exporting a Model](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/working-with-models/exporting-a-model.md)

#### Model options

Here, you can define in the model options:

- The **Default Uncertainty Interval** used for your planning throughout xP&A.
- If you want to **Hide empty dimension rows**, i.e. the rows that do not contain any data for a particular [dimension item](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/modeling-your-data/using-dimensions/create-edit-dimensions.md).
- The **First cohort name** used for [cohort modeling](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/modeling-your-data/create-andedit-formulas/common-formulas-.md).

#### Calculation

Here, you can specify, if you want the data of your model to be **recomputed manually**.

Once you activate this option, the data will be recalculated.

#### Last edited

Created

Here, you can see **who** last edited the model and **when**.

#### Audit logs

Here, you can open the audit logs, which are a **model-by-model running history** of who has made what edits (and when) to a model's variables, dimensions, visuals, or data.

For more information on this topic, see [Viewing the Audit Logs of a Model](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/xp-a---extended-planning-and-analysis/working-with-models/viewing-the-audit-logs.md).
