Input Manager for Xcelsius® 2008 streamlines what-if and scenario analysis capabilities within a dashboard. Input Manager reduces performance overhead and complexity of calculator/what-if applications, leading to fast and efficient development. The result is a streamlined configuration for end users to control many input variables within a calculator. Input Manager is a must-have component for any dashboard developer who incorporates calculators or what-if analysis into a dashboard.

• Simplify calculators and what-if analysis.
• Reduce overhead with fewer components.
• Increase development efficiency.

• Allow one input control (slider, dial) to affect multiple cells.
• Create complex input forms using minimal components.
• More control over triggering behaviors.

How Input Manager Works
Input Manager accomplishes a task not possible with existing components or Excel logic, allowing a single value component to control multiple independent values within a data range. Input Manager can persist and lookup many values using a single component, alleviating a pain often experienced by Xcelsius developers who stacked single value components to control multiple values. The common use case for Input Manager is a dashboard/calculator that relies on multiple input variables.
