splashing

Splashing refers to the distribution of values in a report according to a variety of rules. The Splasher is enabled in a report when a cell allows data to be written back to the database. Because data is only stored in base elements, you cannot write back data to consolidated elements. But, with the Splasher you can specify how values written back to base elements affect the consolidated elements they form. The Splasher enables you to select cells and change their values in the database. You might, for example, create a forecast for a year by increasing the values in a previous year by a particular percentage.
