Ownership - To make changes to data, you must first take ownership which will change the Status Information in the main screen to “Work in Progress” and your name will appear under Ownership. When you open a worksheet the cells will be grey shaded meaning that the worksheet is read only. You cannot take ownership of a worksheet that is locked.
Reset Data or View - You can save or discard any changes you make to the data or layout. Any changes you make are kept the next time you open TM1 Contributor. This button allows you to reset the View or the Data or both. Re-setting the data removes all uncommitted changes. USE WITH CAUTION.
Undo and Redo - Undo the last data change. Data change actions can have an effect beyond the cells that are visible. Consolidated values, rule-calculated values, cells included in Data spreading, or even cells in different views can all be changed as a result of making a data value change in one cell. When you undo these actions, all effected values are also changed, even in cells not visible on the active screen. Once a data change has been undone, you can restore the change by hitting redo. Re-calculate - Updates and recalculates data in the view. Data changes are not committed back to the TM1 server until the data is committed or submitted

Submitting a worksheet updates the entire organization code, not just the worksheet you were working on. Once you submit the status will change to “Work In Progress”. Reject - As a reviewer, you can reject a submitted contributions. Commit - When you enter or change data, the changes are only visible to you until you commit the changes.

Dimensions Bar - indicates which dimensions are being displayed in the rows and columns and the data context. To reset the original view or data click the reset button and select either reset view or reset data. 2010/11 Departmental account codes and totals within an organization code – Data was imported from BANNER and is based on codes for approved items from the 2011 approved budget. These can collapse and expand by clicking the (+) or (-). The 2010/11 approved budget Data was loaded into the system automatically and is based on the 2010/11 approved budget approved April 2010.
Full Year - is the sum of the monthly entries for the specific line item. Approved Budget - is data that was loaded by the system based on the approved annual budget in Banner.
Monthly Budget – the data for revenue and non salary expenses found in the body of the table is based on historical information taken from BANNER. If there was no historical information for a specific budget item that item will appear in the “Approved Budget” column only, there will be no data in the “Full Year” column in the leading to a variance. The approved budget amount will need to be allocated. The labour related information came from HR Jobs in Banner. ***************************************************************** Shaded Grey Cells are un- editable and exist for one of 2 reasons
1) you do not have ownership of the data 2) it is a calculated data value (itemized account or labour
information would need to be updated to change the data) Green numbers the user typed text and used the tab key, arrow keys or mouse to move within the grid, once re-calculated the data will become blue and once committed it will become black. Blue numbers means the user has pressed the Enter or Recalculate but the data remains uncommitted, once committed the data will become black. Black numbers means the data has been committed (saved). Bold Numbers are aggregate totals of other line items and will only change as a result of other data changing, you cannot edit them directly

5) Identify a non staff account line item that has a variance
Budget data was loaded from the approved 2010/11 budget from BANNER as at May 11. The data was spread automatically by the system based on historical data from BANNER 2009/2010 actuals if they existed. If there was no historical information for a specific budget item the budget item will appear in the “Approved Budget” Column only, leading to a variance between the “Full Year” and the “Approved Budget”. Any variance will need to be investigated and re-allocated.

Exercise #5 – Resolve Non-Staff Account Variances - Production Objective:
Resolve the non staff variances in at least one organization code the production environment.
Working on your own or with a facilitator, review each of your organization codes and work through adjusting all variances using the steps provided in Exercise #2.
1. If there is NO variance, validate the spread and update it as needed. Note: Spreads were done based on historical data.
2. If there IS a variance you will need to determine the reason and re-allocate the funds over 12 months
i. Understand why there is a variance ii. Decide how it should be allocated. Eg equal over 12 months,
quarterly, semi-annually etc. An equal spread will be the easiest iii. Spread the data (details below)
Please remember to keep track of any issues, questions or recommendations either by documenting on your own or letting one of the facilitators know.
Remember - Non Staff Accounts
Save/Commit changes periodically
``Reset Data” and “Reset View” are your friends
Commit vs. Submit – Commit saves the data changes, Submit notifies the reviewer and locks the data (no further changes)
If you accidentally submit please let your reviewer know and they can easily reject the submission
Text color o Green means the user has typed text and used the tab key, arrow keys or
mouse to move data within the grid o Blue text means the user has pressed the enter key or recalculated o Black text has been committed (saved) o Bold text is an aggregate o Grey Shaded is un-editable
Always re-calculate after making changes and before closing a window or if you see a blank view. WHEN IN DOUBT - RECALCULATE
Allowances are not included in labour model therefore they would be reviewed in the non salary area
To save an itemized account you must commit it
