Shortcut menus are accessed by right-clicking an object or an area of the interface.

Accessing Edit Mode

1. Right-click any cell.
2. Click the Edit Mode option on the shortcut menu.

   Edit mode is now on and any editable cell can be changed without the scenario recalculating.

3. To recalculate the main grid, deselect Edit Mode using either the shortcut menu or under Display Options.

Hiding all Calculated Metrics

1. Right-click any editable cell.
2. Click the option Hide All Calculated Metrics on the shortcut menu.

   All calculated fields are now hidden.

3. To turn it off, open the shortcut menu and click Hide All Calculated Metrics to deselect it.

Copying a Cell Value to Remaining Row Cells

1. Right-click any editable cell.
2. Click the option Copy this value to remaining row cells on the shortcut menu.
3. Choose a date range (start date and end date) to which you would like this value to be applied. The selected cell value will replace the cell values in the columns of the scenario within the date range selected. For example:

	6-Oct	6-Nov	6-Dec
Initial Values	10	5	5
After Right-Click Function	10	10	10

Growing or Shrinking Cell Values in a Row

1. Right-click any editable cell.
2. Click the option Grow/shrink this value and values in the remaining row cells on the shortcut menu.
3. Enter a percent by which the cell values should be changed.
4. Choose the option Grow to increase or Shrink to decrease the cell values by the percentage.
5. Choose a date range (start date and end date) for which you would like this value to be applied.

   The value of the cells in the selected range will increase or decrease according to the percent specified.

   For example, by entering 20 percent growth in the Grow/Shrink Values window, you would see the following change:

	6-Oct	6-Nov	6-Dec
Initial Values	10	10	10
After Right-Click Function	12	12	12

Spreading a Value Evenly Across Cells

1. Right-click any editable cell.
2. Click the option of Spread value evenly among this and remaining cells on the shortcut menu.
3. Enter a numerical value.
4. Choose a date range (start date and end date) for which you would like this value to be applied.

   The value of the cells in the selected range will increase or decrease according to the percent specified.

   For example, by entering 40 in the Spread Value Evenly window for 6-Oct through 6-Dec, you would achieve the following results:

	6-Oct	6-Nov	6-Dec
Initial Values	10	10	10
After Right-Click Function	13.3	13.3	13.3

Pasting Values from the Clipboard into a Cell or Row

1. Select the desired values from the source application and copy it to the Windows clipboard.
2. In Genesys Decisions, right-click any editable cell.
3. Click the option Paste from clipboard on the shortcut menu.

Tip

If one cell in a row is selected, the first entry on the clipboard will be pasted into it. If adjacent cells from a spreadsheet are copied, the multiple values are pasted to adjacent cells in the grid. Also, numbers can only be copied from Microsoft Excel. Word or Notepad values cannot be copied and pasted.

Transposing and Pasting Values from the Clipboard into a Row

1. Select the desired values from the source application (Microsoft Excel), and copy it to the Windows clipboard.
2. Right-click the first cell in the row to which the data will be transposed and pasted.
3. Click Transpose and paste from clipboard on the shortcut menu.

   Values from the clipboard in column form will be transposed to a row and pasted to the selected cells in a row.

Copying Selected Cells

1. Right-click any cell.
2. Click the option Copy Selected Cells on the shortcut menu.

   The highlighted cells will be copied and placed into the Windows clipboard.

Copying Selected Cells with Headers

1. Right-click any cell.
2. Click the option Copy Selected Cells With Headers on the shortcut menu.

   The highlighted cells will be copied and placed into the Windows clipboard with the row and column headers (that is, metric names and dates).
