Establish the History Source for Plan Calculations

Confirm or Edit the History Source

Because the current AAP relies on historical data for developing analyses, including analysis of progress towards goals set in the previous year, the History Source must be identified.

The options for populating historical data are:

  • Manual Input
  • Start Point Analysis
  • Import from Existing Plan

The system will display a History Setting here, based on your answer to the Create Plan question: "Do you have a prior year plan in BALANCEaap or BALANCEaap?"

Below are instructions for users with and without prior balanceAAP plans. Click [Apply] after reviewing or editing the displayed History Setting.

With Prior Year balanceAAP Plan

If under Create Plan, you selected a Prior Year Plan:

  • Confirm the Prior Year Plan as the History Source.
  • OR

  • Select a different prior year’s plan, using the provided drop-downs.

Without Prior balanceAAP Plan

If at plan creation you chose "I do not have a prior year plan in BALANCEaap", the History Settings tab will ask if you would like to create a Start Point Analysis.

  • To Perform Start Point Analysis — Select: Yes. (The system will estimate the necessary statistics for the prior year, based on the current year's Roster data, personnel action data, and plan settings.)

  • To Enter History Data by Manual Input — Choose No. Then, under History Information, select a Job Group from the drop-down. Enter a Total Number of Employees; then enter a Total (number of employees) and Availability (percentage) or each Report Group. As appropriate, check the box for: Goal. Click [Save] before proceeding to the next Job Group.

Note: You can change the existing History Source selection. However, keep in mind that history data are critical for performing AAP calculations.
