Once a scenario layer has been created, the next thing to do is sort out some budgets.

The first thing you will notice, is that the cash flow cells in the new scenario contain the values from the base layer. The reason being, the scenario layer is on top of another budget scenario, so any budgets entered into the new scenario will 'stack' on top of the existing budgets.

To start, click on the blue 'Add' button at the top of the table, alternatively you can hover beside the account name and a plus sign will pop up.


Either of these methods will bring up a budget box on the left hand side, where you have four options; Repeating, One-off, Auto and Linked.In the main cash flow table you would see the total of all the budgets, from both scenarios.

When you update budgets in the scenario layer you will also notice that the graph adjusts to display two balance lines.

You'll see that one line reflects the balance of your original base while the other takes into account the changes made in the scenario layer. This allows you to easily see the impact of the changes you are making.

You can also easily remove any budget entered into the scenario by clicking into the budget and selecting the trash can symbol shown in the bottom left corner. A budget can only be deleted from the scenario it was added to, i.e. a base budget could only be fully deleted when on the base scenario.

If you ever need to remove an entire scenario layer find out how here.
