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.
