Using Multi-Edit mode
When you work in Composer in Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), you can edit objects in the canvas using single-edit mode or multi-edit mode. In single-edit mode, every change is immediately saved. In multi-edit mode, validation is suspended and changes are not saved until you leave multi-edit mode or save your model.
Imagine that you want to change the source of a calculation that is used by another calculation. You must edit each calculation in the chain, but until you change all calculations, some calculations might be invalid. These temporary changes can occur only in multi-edit mode because only valid calculations can be saved in single-edit mode. If you try to make an invalid change or connection in single-edit mode, an error message is displayed.
To use multi-edit mode:
In the Composer toolbar, click the icon
.The canvas in Composer will be highlighted.
You can complete these tasks in multi-edit mode:
Open components and objects.
Add, edit, or delete calculations.
Edit the partitions of a calculation and the port that is connected to the partition, so that it matches the new calculation.
Add inbound or outbound connections.
Export a Composer diagram.
To save the changes, leave multi-edit mode or click
in the toolbar.
