I have resurrected the original post from 2020-
Bill and the 'Rat Pack' (
link). I still need to update it, as it's missing the reference to the editable tables, as per this topic. That's how I built the simulation engine. More details, next week.
Happy reading and do ask questions if needed!

I had written about it, but I guess it got lost in the migration from jiveon to the current community platform.
Will reconstruct the post and add whatever I might need to update @Jenny Franklin

@Guillermo Cuadrado very intriguing! Maybe Bill could write something up about how y'all did that? 🙃😎🐱👤🙌

We don't use the full set of capabilities, i.e. we don't promote the data. We use it instead for simulation exercises:
We have a report that displays the number of servers related to an application. One column allows the application owner to enter a new number of servers, and the report will calculate the new monthly cost.
Apptio keeps the data (in PRD), but it updates nothing, nor does it trigger any calculation jobs.
For our use case, data is volatile, so we don't have to run it to the process as described by @Michael Enslein.

I was wondering if anyone uses editable table for allowing end users to update / enhance data in apptio. I have create a process using an editable table on a report to put project information in about actuals.
- The next step is to save the data to the editable table
- Publish the data to the transformed table.
- Data is looked up from the cost source to the transformed table.
Is this how you use editable tables or do you have different use cases.
Thanks.
