Applicability of Planning Analytics Workspace documentation

The documentation available through the integrated help system and on IBM Knowledge Center always reflects the most recent full capabilities of Planning Analytics Workspace on cloud.

Cloud versus on-premises

In some instances, the current capabilities on cloud differ from the most recent Planning Analytics Workspace Local update. This is because local updates are made available only after cloud deployment occurs. In this case, Planning Analytics Workspace Local customers might see documentation for features that are not yet available to them.

Similarly, while Planning Analytics Workspace on cloud is refreshed on a regular cadence, Planning Analytics Workspace Local customers might choose to update their installation on a less frequent basis. This can also result in a difference between the features that are described in the documentation and the features that are available to a Planning Analytics Workspace Local customer.

Planning Analytics Workspace versus Planning Analytics Workspace Classic

A new user experience was introduced in Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.57 SC. This new experience includes an updated look and feel, as well as several significant new features.

While the new experience is available to all customers, it is not mandatory, and some customers might choose to continue using the 'classic' user interface. When there is a divergence between the procedures required to perform a task in the new experience and the classic interface, the documentation describes both interfaces. The new experience interface introduced in 2.0.57 SC is identified as Planning Analytics Workspace in the documentation, while the older interface is identified as Planning Analytics Workspace Classic.

For an example of how the two user interfaces are differentiated in the documentation, see Monitor and manage database threads.

Deprecation

In some cases, the current documentation differs from what is available in your environment because functionality is deprecated in the current release of IBM® Planning Analytics. In the documentation, Deprecated indicates deprecated functionality that will be removed in a future release. Not supported indicates functionality that is no longer available or supported in the current release.

TM1® Server

Depending on the Planning Analytics version that a Planning Analytics Workspace cloud customer uses, some features that are documented might not be available to use or might not be visible in the user interface.

Device and browser compatibility

Some features that are documented and available in Planning Analytics Workspace on a desktop browser might not be available on Apple iPad. For more information, see Accessing Planning Analytics Workspace from Apple iPad.
