Sub-scenarios

When you define multiple values for a scenario items, each of these values results in a distinct sub-scenario. On the Launch Pad, each scenario item that has multiple values will display a checkbox indicating how many sub-scenarios are defined. For example, the "PriceXDemand" scenario below has two scenario items. "IncreaseDemand" has 3 values defined, "AdjustPrice" has 2 values defined.
