Glossary

xP&A allows multiple users to work in the spreadsheet of a model at the same time.

In this chapter we will explain what needs to be considered for multi-player modeling.

You can see who else is in the model by the initials icon that shows up at the top right (and you can hover over the icon to see their full name).

If you are in the same model together with other users and someone makes changes to the model, you will get a pop-up that allows you to pull in their changes by clicking Pull edits now.

If you ignore the pop-up and do not pull in the changes, we will combine the changes together automatically.

The keyboard shortcut to pull in edits is Ctrl + E (⌘/ctrl + E).

If the changes conflict, the

latest change is saved.

Examples of this are:

Editing the name of the same variable at the same time

Editing a formula of the same variable at the same time (

unless

you are editing the formula for different timesteps of a variable, or different dimension items of a variable, in which case the changes do not conflict and xP&A will combine them)

The only exception to this rule is if someone deletes something (e.g. a variable), then another user tries to rename it, the deletion overrides the rename of the element.

For charts and tables, xP&A does not combine changes, so if you are editing the same visual at the same time as another user, be aware that the latest change will be saved.

If you

reorder dimension items

in the data table, xP&A cannot combine these changes, i.e. if you are editing the order at the same time as another user, the latest change will be saved.

For

time settings

and other advanced

model options

, the latest change will be saved.

Yes! You can dismiss the pop-up for your session by clicking the x at the top right (Don’t show this again).

This will disable it until you next refresh your browser, or open the model. You will still see the New edits button, and you can click on this to pull edits), but you will not see the pop-up.

We only show you who is in the

current model

that you are in.

When switching to a new tab, i.e. another linked model, xP&A will automatically pull in the latest version of that model, i.e. the other user's edits will be included.
