Overview screen display Optimize
The Optimize module enables you to test the predicted potential of a full list of locations in a more automated way.
DISCLAIMERS
- This module is only available for Super users.
- When a user starts a batch calculation in the Optimize module, all other modules (data management, marketing efforts, location planning) will be blocked for all the users. Everyone will receive a notification saying that user X is running an Optimize exercise, with a progress bar that shows how long the Optimize calculation will take (cfr. Step 3)
- In the optimize module all locations are tested as a N+1 simulation and thus not as a combined simulation. This means that the predicted potential of the locations are calculated as if each location is opened 1 by 1. However, it will be possible to afterwards open a selection of locations together in the Location planning module, and thus have a combined simulation after all. This enables you to see the combined impact on your network of opening all the locations at once.
Screen display & functionalities
In the Optimize module you can create a project where you upload a batch of locations to test all at once. Within this project, all uploaded locations are added one by one to a given baseline network. This means there are no combination effects of the multiple openings.
A concept that is specific to this module:
- Project: collection of batch simulations
Settings
Load previously created projects.
Create a new project.
Option to display the results on the map or in a table.
If you have ‘apply table filter on map’ selected, it will apply the same filtering on the map as on the table.
Select which baseline you want to visualize.
Data display
You can use the map almost the same way as in Marketing Efforts ( Scroll to the 'Interactive map' section in Overview screen display marketing efforts). Apply certain map layers
