Click Run in the tools and links bar of the scenario's detail page. The name may vary depending on the chosen model. For example, the name might show as Run forecast for a Time Forecasting model.

A summary of the results is presented in the Execution summary table.

The Download to Excel option allows you to download an XLS file summarizing the table data. You can open the graphs by clicking on the chart thumbnails.

Additional information

The Promote to Golden option, only visible to administrators, lets you schedule the scenario to be run at set intervals (daily, weekly or monthly). Configuring a scenario as Golden also publish custom statistics that let you trace the trend of results. For more information, see Working-with-custom-statistics.
