Introduction
Once the plan is created, the calculations are applied in the workbook and are saved as a new revision, the revision needs to be deployed in order for the changes to apply to the results and payouts. To do this, the plan deployment page contains different sections for different parameters.
- Plan Preferences
- Active Revisions
- Participants
- Participant Settings
- Save and Deploy:
The “save and deploy” button is present in all sections. It will save all current parameters and deploy the plan according to them
Plan Preferences
- Plan Duration: Sets the start and end date for the plan. Any results with an effective date outside the plan duration will not be covered by the plan
- Results syncing: Determines whether or not changes to the source data will result in correction transactions for the time period selected. For example:
- You turn on Results Syncing and set the time period if set to one month after payout. A reward for a deal was paid out on January 1, 2022. On January 15th, your source data is updated with new information on that deal which increases the total reward by €100. Because results syncing is turned on and it is still within the set time period, a correction transaction would be created for the additional €100 reward.
