IBM Planning Analytics version 57 introduced applications and plans which let you organize Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) assets such as books, view, and websheets into groups. These approaches allow you to group items together in sections (similar to a folder) or in steps (similar to a planning process). It is easy to create an Application or Plan in PAW, but there may be situations where you want to change the type by converting an existing Application to a Plan or vice versa.
To convert an existing Application or Plan, open the object so you can make edits. Then click on the Actions menu and select “Save as.”
The window that appears will allow you to rename the object as well as select the type to save it as.
This will create another copy of the object. Your original Application or Plan will remain as is.
This feature will allow you to change your PAW organization approach as your requirements and process approach changes.
