Seeing the 'What-if' Results

Immediately after you perform a 'What-if', the results of this function are displayed on the Strategy Screen. Any adjusted figures will appear in cells within the Right Hand "Business Results" Panel.

You are also able to view the actual Net Change resulting from your 'What-if', rather than merely the adjusted figures.

How do I display the Net Change?

You can display the Net Change straight after performing your 'What-if'.
To do this, select the Net Change button from the menu bar at the top of the screen, after you have performed your action.

What does a Net Change show me?

A Net Change highlights any items that have been affected by the action performed, and the amount by which they have altered.

The Net Change icon acts like a 'switch' that displays the variation between your business' figures before and after an action is performed.

When a Net Change is carried out, you will notice a few minor changes in your screen:

• Only the figures that have been impacted by the change will have numbers in the cells. These numbers represent the variation in your business financials caused by an ANZ Impact™ action.
  
  
• The Net Change icon will appear at the top of each panel, indicating that the screen is now in "Net Change Mode".
  
  
• In addition, many of the menu items in the top menu bar will become inactive.

This is how a Net Change Screen looks, after a 'What-if' has been performed in the Strategy Screen.
