Use planner scenarios, rollover and alerts

Preview a what-if scenario

Use simulation mode to test changes before you save anything. While simulation mode is on, the page shows a banner that says changes are not saved.

1. Open the Planner page.
2. Select Simulate in the top-right area.Simulate
3. Change the target amount for any active basket if you want to test a different goal.
4. To test removing a basket from the scenario, select Remove on that basket. Use Undo if you change your mind.RemoveUndo
5. In the simulation form, enter the new basket key and target amount, then select + Add.+ Add
6. Select Run Simulation to preview the result.Run Simulation

The page shows a simulated health score, simulated available amount, and a list of baskets for the scenario. Exit Simulation clears the temporary scenario changes and results.

Review rollover before you execute it

The rollover panel lets you preview what month-end rollover would do for the current month. It shows the current period, the rollover strategy, and any baskets with unused amounts.

1. On the Planner page, select Rollover.Rollover
2. Review the Preview tab to see each basket’s budget, spent amount, unused amount, and proposed action.Preview
3. If you want to see past rollover activity, select History.History
4. If the preview shows unused amount and you want to apply it, select Execute Rollover.Execute RolloverRollover
5. Confirm the action by selecting Confirm Execute when the warning box appears.Confirm Execute
6. If you do not want to continue, select Cancel or Close.CancelClose

After a successful execution, the panel shows how many rollover entries were created and how many were skipped. The History tab lists past rollover entries with period, basket, unused amount, action, and execution time.

Set rollover, income, and fixed-expense settings

Planner Settings is where you save rollover strategy and manage the source records used by the planner. Income sources and fixed expenses are saved separately from scenario previews.

1. From the Planner page, select Settings.
2. If a previous settings change is still pending, review the message at the top of the page and use Check original request or Retry original removal before starting another change.Check original requestRetry original removal
3. In Income Sources, add a payer name and amount, or choose a suggestion to prefill the form.
4. In Fixed Expenses, add a payee name, amount, and frequency, or choose a suggestion to prefill the form.
5. In Rollover Strategy, choose Carry Forward, Redistribute, or Release to Available.Rollover
6. Select Save Settings when you are done.Save Settings
7. If you do not want to save, select Back to Planner or Cancel.Back to Planner

Saved settings update the planner configuration for your workspace. The page also marks setup as complete when you save settings.

Understand alerts

Alerts help you spot planner issues that need attention. They appear in the notification bell on the Planner page.

1. Select the notification bell in the Planner header.
2. Read the alert message and severity.
3. If needed, dismiss an unread alert by selecting it.

• Critical or warning alerts can point to a low health score.
• Some alerts warn that a basket is behind schedule or past due.
• You may also see alerts when no income sources or fixed expenses are set up.
• Alerts are read-only unless you use the related settings or basket actions to address them.

Time boundaries and current role checks

Planner totals use the current month in your planning view, while some transaction lists and history views use recent-day or 12-month lookbacks. That means a zero value can mean no matching data, while a missing value usually means the app could not load or calculate the information.

Your current personal workspace and current role matter for actions like saving settings, enabling baskets, and executing rollover. If you do not have the needed access, the page may show an access message instead of the planner controls.

If something fails

• If a panel will not close, select the visible Close button or click outside the dialog overlay.
• If a save or execute action fails, the page usually keeps the current values so you can try again after fixing the issue.
• If simulation mode shows unexpected results, exit simulation and reopen it before trying again.
• If a list is empty after a successful load, it may simply mean there is no matching planner data yet.

For month-end rollover, wait for any in-progress action to finish before trying again. For settings and basket changes, correct the form or access issue first, then repeat the action with a fresh save.
