Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet
Overview
Worksheets are created from worksheet definitions. When you create or modify a
definition, you are defining the features of the worksheet, including row and
column contents, headers, footers, format characters, decimal precision, print/
display formats and so on.
As part of your worksheet definition, you may create and use groups or you may
narrow down or qualify the data you have selected as contents for your rows and
columns.
Once you have created your worksheet definition, you will need to build the
worksheet. Building is the process of generating a worksheet by applying the
definition to selected data. You will choose your data from among those datasets
or samples available to you.
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 1-1
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Overview
There are two types of worksheets: model and read-only. If you build a model
worksheet, you will be able to edit the data in it. If you build a read-only
worksheet, you will not be able to change any data. Thus a model worksheet is an
analysis tool, whereas a read-only worksheet is primarily a reporting and data
distribution tool.
After building a worksheet, you can view the results and save the worksheet. If it
is a model worksheet, you can modify the data within it, and save it without
changing the data in the dataset. In that case, you have created a model that can
be used for analysis. Such a model can be modified as many times as you want,
without affecting current data. Worksheets can also be distributed to others for
input and modification. Use the Commit function to incorporate changed
worksheet data back to the dataset.
Shown below is an example of a completed worksheet.

1-2 11.0 September 2007
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Planning the Worksheet
Before creating a worksheet, it is best to plan the goals and expectations for your
worksheet. There are several items to think about before you begin.
What level of detail - Do not ask for more detail than you need. The more data
that is in a report the longer it will take the report to build; it will also make the
worksheet more difficult to navigate.
Model Worksheet-If you need to modify data in worksheet, you will want to build
a model worksheet. If you do not intend to modify the data, you should not build
the worksheet as a model but as a read-only worksheet. Note that worksheets
containing clinical data cannot be built as models.
Distributed Budgeting Worksheet - If you intend to use your worksheet for
distributed budgeting, there are steps you must keep in mind as you define and
generate your worksheet. First, your worksheet definition must include only the
required drill levels in the correct order (See “Defining Drill Levels for Distributed
Budgeting Worksheets” on page 2-5.). Next, when defining your worksheet
columns you must decided whether or not to enable the option to Allow Editing of
Existing Rows and Allow Editing of New Rows. (See page 2-46) Finally, you must
build a model worksheet and decide whether or not to enable the options to Add
new Account rows and Add new Job Code rows. (See page 5-3).
Exporting to ds.Pathfinder or Horizon Business Insight Report - Determine
the type of report you want in ds.Pathfinder or Horizon Business Insight. Is the
report going to have burst levels? Bursting creates a separate worksheet from
every row in the top drill level. The resulting ds.Pathfinder report will retain all drill
levels beneath the top row. Define your worksheet accordingly.
Encounter Viewer - Encounter Viewer displays patient-level data from your
database. It can only be opened from the Data menu, when you are in an
encounter drill level in a worksheet. If you are drilling into patient data you will
need a patient-level sort.
Any cross data issues - If G/L and encounter data do not match, asterisks will
appear in the invalid column.

From the Horizon Performance Manager main window, click Reporting &
Presentation/Worksheet Manager to open the window shown below. Use the
Worksheet Manager window to create a new worksheet or access an existing one.
Libraries and folders organize and store worksheets and worksheet definitions.
Note that as libraries and folders are selected from the left and center panes of the
Worksheet Manager window, a list of the worksheets and definitions within them
are displayed in the Worksheets and Definitions pane.
The following icons indicate the worksheet or definition type:
The Public library and the In Box are system-defined; all users will have them on
their accounts. The Public library is available for all users, while other libraries are
reserved for those who created them. The In Box is a library that contains any
worksheets that have been distributed to you.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Data Categories
Data Categories
When choosing data for a worksheet, whether it is for row definition, column
definition, data selection and qualification, or when building the worksheet, you
will see a list of categories along the left side of the window. These categories
determine the nature of the data types you will be choosing. It is essential to
understand that some of these categories can be used with other categories in a
worksheet and some can only be used by themselves.
The data in these categories can be used together in any combination in a single
worksheet:
• Financial/GL
• Payroll
• Encounter
The data in these categories can be used only with other data types from the
same category in a single worksheet:
• Practitioner
• Person
For example, if you use Practitioner data in a worksheet, all data rows, columns,
qualifiers, and values must taken from the Practitioner category as well. The
same holds true for the Person category.
Rows and Columns categories are for use in defining row and column formulas,
respectively.
The Custom Objects category will only be active if it has been defined for your
data. Custom objects can be used with the Encounter category. (See the
following section for more information on using custom objects in Worksheet.)
The Comparative category is not yet available for use.
Worksheet Guide
1-6 11.0 September 2007
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Using Custom Objects in Worksheet
Custom objects are standalone tables that contain records with user-defined fields
that provide data that is not part of the standard Horizon Performance Manager
data model. Custom objects allow you to incorporate data into Horizon
Performance Manager from other vendors, your own HIS system or in-house data
repositories. Once the data has been integrated into Horizon Performance
Manager, it can be used in your worksheets for reporting, review and decision
support analysis.
Before you can use custom objects in Worksheet, the following actions must be
completed.
• Custom objects must have been defined, built and populated with data during
the Horizon Performance Manager data integration process. For more
information, on creating and integrating custom objects, refer to the Horizon
Performance Manager Data Integration Guide.
• Your Security Administrator must have provided you access to Custom
Objects via the Data Access window in Horizon Performance Manager's
Security option.
Once these actions have been completed, the Custom Object category button will
be enabled in the Worksheet Definition Editor and you can select it when you
create a worksheet definition. When you select the Custom Objects category, the
custom object tables available for use in your worksheet definition will appear in
the box to the right.
Note the following information related to using Custom Objects for Worksheet
reporting.
• Custom objects may only be used with datasets that include encounter data.
A custom object may have been defined so that the resulting table includes
zero or more key fields that are linked to one of the available encounter data
fields in Horizon Performance Manager.
A complete list of Horizon Performance Manager encounter data fields
available for linking can be found in the Horizon Performance Manager Data
Model Resource Guide. You can also view the list of attributes on the Dataset
Attribute window in the Custom Objects Manager. To open the Dataset
Attribute window from the Horizon Performance Manager main window, select
Data Integrator/Data Model Extensibility/Custom Object Manager. On the
Custom Object Manager window, click Definition/New. From the Custom
Object Definition Editor window, click Define. In the Field area, select Key and
in the Type box, click Link. Click Dataset Attribute... to open the window.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Worksheet Data Selection and Qualification
Data selection and qualification allow you to choose specific data for use in
Horizon Performance Manager applications and options. The criteria you establish
(when you define your worksheet or when you build it) identifies the data that is
selected from the dataset and displayed in your worksheet.
For example, there may be thousands of account codes, but you may only need a
worksheet that displays accounts 100 through 150. In this case, you will select or
qualify the data in your worksheet to include only information related to those
accounts.
When you initially create a worksheet definition, you define the rows and columns
with a specific worksheet or report in mind. You know what type of data each
column will contain, and what level of detail each row will display. At that time, you
can choose to select or qualify the data for your worksheet and save the data
selection as part of the worksheet definition.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Brief Overview of Worksheet Data Selection and Qualification
Hierarchy of Data Types and Attributes - A list of data types are displayed in the
box to the right of the Categories. Solid arrows indicate groupings of data types
where there are further data levels beneath the level currently displayed. Click the
solid arrow to open and reveal more data. (Click again to collapse.) An open
arrow indicates that there are no further levels beneath. Click the data attribute to
choose it. (Phase Study attributes are selected by clicking the filled arrow next to
the name. To select one or more phase segments, select the associated phase
study name and click List…)
Relational Operators - If you are selecting data values as well as data types,
indicate how the data should match. Choose from the operators listed in the table
below.
Equal to Selects data that equals the criteria you choose. You can
enter a value, multiple values or a range of values in the
From and To data entry boxes. Alternatively, click List to
display a list of available datasets. Choose a dataset to
display a list of data values available for selection from the
dataset. Click Select to include the values as data selection
criteria. (You can multi-select values from the list.)
Pattern match Allows you to enter wildcards when specifying data items. A
question mark represents one character, so 122? will yield a
range from 1220 to 1229 as well as 122A to 122Z. An
asterisk represents many characters. 122* will yield any
number starting with 122, regardless of the number of
characters that follow, including 122A and 122489. (Not
available for use with Phase attributes.)
Not equal to Selects only data that does not match the criteria you
choose.
Tip: For encounter data selections, use +Exclude rather
than Not equal to, to develop criteria to eliminate encounters
where the same attribute appears more than once but with
different values.
For example, use +Exclude to develop criteria that
eliminates all encounters with both service item code
#9157707 and service item code #4327326 as shown
below:
Exclude encounters with: (((Service Item Code = 9157707),
(Service Item Code = 4327326)))
In this example, only those encounters with both service
item code 9157707 and 4327326 will be excluded from the
data selection results. More information on the exclude
operator can be found later in this section.
Greater than Selects data that is greater than the criteria you choose.
Worksheet Guide
1-12 11.0 September 2007
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Brief Overview of Worksheet Data Selection and Qualification
Less than Selects data that is less than the criteria you choose.
Equal to Day of Selects the day of the week to use in your data selection
Week criteria. You can enter the name or abbreviation (Mon, Tues,
Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun) of a single day, multiple days or a
range of days in the From and To data entry boxes.
Alternatively, click List and make a selection from the
display. Equal to Day of Week is only available for use with
attributes from the Encounter or Custom Object categories
and if the attribute is defined as Date Only or Date & Time.
Is Null Selects data that is blank.
Is Not Null Selects data that is not blank.
Date Variable For use with Encounter (including UDAs) and Custom
Objects attributes only. For more information, see “Using
Encounter Date Variables in Qualifications” on page 1-17.
Accept - When your data selection criteria is complete, click Accept to display the
selection in the Criteria box.
Logical Operators - To include additional criteria to your data selection, click And
or Or, as appropriate, to separate the criteria. Choose another attribute and
repeat the process above until all criteria have been established.
Parentheses - Use the parentheses to nest criteria. To do so, select the opening
and closing criteria by clicking on them in the Criteria box. Click the +( ) button.
Parentheses will enclose the criteria you select and all criteria in between. To
eliminate the parentheses, reselect the applicable criteria and click -( ).
Exclude - Use to define criteria that excludes encounters from the referenced
dataset. This option is only available for use with data types selected from the
Encounter Category. Once you have defined your criteria, select the criteria you
want to exclude. Click +Exclude to insert the "Exclude encounters with" operator
at the start of the criteria row you selected. Encounters that meet the criteria in the
row will be excluded from the data selection. You can eliminate the exclude
operator by selecting the applicable criteria and clicking -Exclude.
Note the following when using the exclude operator in your encounter data
selection criteria.
• You cannot use Exclude when the selected criteria uses Not Equal To, Is Null
or Is Not Null as relational operators.
• When you insert the exclude operator at the beginning of a row that starts with
a parenthesis, the entire expression within the parentheses is excluded from
the data selection.

September 2007 11.0 1-13
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Brief Overview of Worksheet Data Selection and Qualification
• You cannot add parentheses around a criteria row that already has the
exclude operator associated with it. Add parentheses as necessary before you
add the exclude operator.
• You can use the exclude operator in a criteria row where the same data type
attribute is used as criteria more than once and the criteria are separated by
the And operator. Note, however, that under these circumstances, the
encounter will be excluded from the resulting data selection only when all of
the values associated with the excluded criteria row are present on the
encounter record.
• Nested exclude statements are prohibited.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Editing Data Selection Criteria
Use Edit to modify an individual line of existing data selection criteria. You can
modify any of the following:
• An attribute
• Attribute values: single value, range of values or a list of values
• A logical operator included in the criteria: And or Or
• Relational operators such as Equal to, Not equal to, Greater than, etc.
Saved data selections can only be modified and overwritten by the owner of the
selection. Note also that time relationships created in the Advanced Data
Selection window in the Encounter Analysis application cannot be modified.
Follow the steps below to edit a line of data selection criteria:
1 Highlight the line of data selection criteria that you want to modify by clicking
on it. A checkmark is displayed to the left of the line.
Note: If you highlight a criteria line where the same encounter attribute is used
more than once and separated by the And operator, you must Select
Expression to Edit.
2 Click Edit.
3 Make the necessary modifications. (Be sure to review the notes below.)
4 Click Accept to save your changes.

Note: Changing 'Equal to' to any other relational operator results in the loss of
all values shown in the List... box because only 'Equal to' allows multiple
values. However, the values are retained and will be redisplayed in the List...
box, if you reselect the 'Equal to' operator before you accept the change.
Cancel - Click to end the edit session without making any modifications.
If you highlight a line of criteria where the same encounter attribute is selected
more than once and separated by the And operator, you must choose the part of
this row that you want to modify.
To do so, follow the steps below on the Select Expression to Edit window:
1 Highlight the part of the line that contains the expression you want to edit by
clicking on it.
2 Click Select to return to the Data Selection window and complete your
modifications.
Note the following regarding editing this type of expression:
• Changing an And/Or operator - An And/Or operator is always associated with
the expression that immediately follows it. Be sure to select the expression
that follows the operator you want to change.
• Changing the data attribute or the relational operator (Equal to) - Changing
these elements in this type of criteria is a two step process. First, change the
And operator that connects the expressions to Or and click Accept to save
the change. Second, select the line with the attribute or operator you want to
change, click Edit again and then make the change. You can now, if
necessary, change the Or operator back to And.

Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Using Encounter Date Variables in Qualifications
Data Selection includes a Date Variable option for use with Encounter (including
UDAs) and Custom Objects date and date/time attributes. The standard date
variables provided with this option are available in all applications where
encounter and custom object attributes are available for selection from the data
hierarchy.
When used in Worksheet, this option allows you to design a worksheet with a
qualification that can be run periodically in the Batch Editor without the need for
any manual intervention to adjust dates. Date variables are available for column,
single row and worksheet-wide qualifications.
To use the Date Variable option, you must first select an Encounter, UDA or
Custom Objects date or date/time attribute from the hierarchy list. (Date variables
cannot be used with time only attributes.)
Next, select Date Variable from the relational operators dropdown list located on
the Data Selection window to display the prompts as shown in the picture below:
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 1-17
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Using Encounter Date Variables in Qualifications
The default date variable is Current Date. Click the dropdown to display the
complete list of available date variables. Each one is defined below:
• Current Date - begins at 12:00:00 a.m. and ends at 11:59:59 p.m.
• Current Week - begins at 12:00:00 a.m. on Sunday and ends at 11:59:59 p.m.
on Saturday
• Current Month - begins at 12:00:00 a.m. on the first day of the month and ends
at 11:59:59 p.m. on the last day of the month. Current Week reflects the actual
number of days in the calendar month.
• Current Calendar Quarter - begins at 12:00:00 a.m. on the first day of the
quarter and ends at 11:59:59 p.m. on the last day of the quarter. Current
Calendar Quarter reflects the actual number of days in the calendar quarter.
You can use a date variable by itself as a qualification criterion without any
adjustment to the time period. For example, a date variable can be used to select
all encounters with a checkin date equal to the Current Month.
Or, you can adjust the qualification period by choosing one of the available
relational operators and then manually entering a number of days, weeks, months
or quarters to be added to or subtracted from the date variable you select. For
example, you can define your date variable qualification to select all encounters
with a checkin date earlier than the Current Week minus 2 Weeks.
The relational operators available for use in defining a date variable qualification
period are:
• Equal to
• Earlier than
• Earlier than or equal to
• Later than
• Later than or equal to
• Not equal to
Worksheet Guide
1-18 11.0 September 2007
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Datasets
Datasets
Definition of a Dataset
A dataset contains data for a single entity for one fiscal year. It can contain GL,
payroll, cost accounting and person/encounter data. For GL/cost accounting data
and payroll data, a dataset will contain 12 months or 13, 24, 26 or 52 periods for a
fiscal year depending on your general ledger or payroll reporting requirements.
Access to a dataset is controlled by security functions, so it is possible that some
people may not have access to a given dataset, some may have view-only access,
and some may be able to modify it.
Data Selection
Once a worksheet has been defined, you will always need to select a dataset in
order to build the worksheet.
The dataset selection process contributes to extremely flexible worksheet
definitions. Storing datasets with your definition means you do not have to select
datasets every time you want to build a worksheet, and yet you can override
stored datasets and choose new ones whenever you want to use your definition to
create a different worksheet. You may either select the datasets and store them
with your definition or you may choose the datasets when you build the worksheet.
You may also choose samples. (See “Sampling” on page 4-1.)
There may be times when you use the same worksheet definition several times,
but you need to use different datasets or samples. In this case, you will not store
the dataset with the worksheet definition; rather you will select the dataset once
you build a worksheet. This flexibility makes it easy for you to define standard
worksheets that can be used over time and across all your entities.
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 1-19
Chapter 1 - Introduction to Worksheet Dataset References
Dataset References
Dataset references are names you build into a worksheet definition to remind
yourself of the data you want to use in that worksheet. You may then associate
datasets and samples with the reference names used in this worksheet definition,
and store them with the definition. For example, if you have defined a worksheet
to use both actual and budget data, this is where you identify the datasets and
samples that containing the actual data and which ones contain the budget data.
You can also select or change the data when you build the worksheet, using the
Worksheet Build option, but if you associate them now, you can skip that step at
build time.
You can select one or more datasets for each reference name. If you choose
more than one dataset for a reference, the data in the sets will be summed for the
column. In this way, you might choose datasets from three different entities to
supply data to each of your 1996 and 1997 actual data columns. Data from the
three entities would be summed for each cell in each column. Should you build
another worksheet from this definition, you can specify three other datasets, or
any number of datasets, for each reference name.
You can associate more than one dataset with the reference names used in a
worksheet. For example, if your first column is referenced as Actual, and you
have five datasets defined for Actual, the values in the first column will represent
the combined data of all five datasets.
Steps for selecting predefined datasets:
1 If storing datasets with a worksheet definition, begin in the Worksheet
Definition Editor window. From the Options menu, select Data References.
or:
If selecting datasets while building a worksheet, begin in the Worksheet Build
window.
2 Click Datasets to filter the list shown in the Data box so that only datasets are
displayed in the list. To display a list of Samples or Populations, click the
corresponding radio button.
3 In the Data box, highlight a reference name and select the first dataset that
you want to associate with it.
4 Click the Add button to add it to the list. Continue to select datasets and add
them until you have selected all the datasets you want for the first reference
name.
5 Continue these steps for each reference name, until you have chosen all the
datasets that you want represented in the worksheet.
6 To remove datasets, select them from the Data Reference box and click
Remove.

Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Defining Rows and Drill Levels
A drill level is any row or set of rows you can drill down to, to reveal another level of
data. For example, your drill levels might be:
• Department
• Cost Center
• Account
The rows of a drill level may be defined either automatically on the basis of the
data in the dataset, or manually, one row at a time. To define a drill level, select
Drill Level, then click Define…. The Define Drill Level window appears.
The row type feature determines the way your drill level is defined. There are two
types of rows, Entire Drill Level - Data and Single Row.
If you choose Entire Drill Level-Data, row contents are automatically defined by
the data available in the dataset. If you choose Single Row, you specify the
content of each row manually, one row at a time. (Encounter/Phase attributes
cannot be used in a single row worksheet.)

For example, if you select Account as an Entire Drill Level-Data row type, each
account will appear as a separate row. On the other hand, if you select Account
and choose Single Row, only the accounts you specify will appear, and data for
more than one account can be aggregated in a single row. Thus you can pick only
those accounts you are interested in, either singly or in groups, e.g., accounts 1,
5, 7-9, and 11.
Defining Drill Levels for Distributed Budgeting Worksheets
If you intend to distribute your worksheet, your worksheet definition must include
only the following drill levels in the order shown below. No other drill levels can be

For example, assume Column 1 references Dataset A (FY 2000) with a fiscal
start month of October, 1999 and Column 2 references Dataset B (FY 2001)
with a fiscal start month of April, 2000. The drill levels will be displayed in
month order beginning with October FY 2000 and ending with September FY
2001.

Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Using Period as a Drill Level Definition
When you select Period as a drill level definition, the drills in the worksheet will be
populated from top to bottom beginning with the first period (P1) in each dataset
referenced and continuing in numerical order as necessary based on the number
of data periods in the dataset.
The total number of drill levels displayed in the worksheet is determined by the
periodicity of the data referenced in your worksheet columns. Based on the type of
data used in your worksheet (financial or payroll), the dataset with the greatest
number of periods will establish the number of rows displayed in the worksheet.
This will apply even if your worksheet references two distinct entities with different
periodicities.
For example, assume the worksheet references financial data for entities with 12
and 24 fiscal periods. Both entities have 26 payroll periods. In this case, a total of
24 drill levels (financial) will be displayed in your worksheet. The payroll periodicity
is not considered because the worksheet does not include any payroll data. Note
that Financial and Payroll periodicity for a dataset is defined in the Entity Calendar
setup.
Scenario C: Develop a payroll productivity report by pay period with department
code.
• Drill #1: Period and Fiscal Year
• Drill #2: Department Code

When you select Period and Fiscal Year as a drill level definition, your worksheet
will contain a number of rows equal to the aggregate number of periods in all fiscal
years referenced in your worksheet.
The drills in the worksheet will be grouped by fiscal year and displayed from top to
bottom beginning with the first period in the earliest dataset referenced in the
worksheet (formatted as P1, FY 1999) and continuing in numerical order as
necessary based on the number of data periods in each dataset.
Scenario D: Generate a report indicating the dollars assigned by position for each
fiscal period. Include the vacation days assigned to the position.
• Drill #1: Pos'n Job Code & Name
• Drill #2: Period & Fiscal Year
Following is a sample of the resulting worksheet report for Scenario D. The
organization has twelve payroll periods. The sample below illustrates the entire
drill level display for the Project Manager position.
Note that the values for the non-periodic attribute are repeated within the periodic
drills for the associated column. In the sample worksheet above, this is illustrated

Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Defining a Single Row
The steps for defining a Single Row are different from those for defining an Entire
Drill Level - Data row; the steps also vary depending on the type of single row
you are defining. There are six types of Single Rows:
Data - enables you to specify both the type of data and the data values
themselves.
Formula - enables you to define a formula using values from previously defined
rows and a variety of constants.
The next two rows are for formatting purposes; they allow you to set off rows from
one another:
Blank Line - provides a blank row to divide areas of the report.
Dashed Line - provides a single line composed of dashes to divide or highlight
areas of the report.
The last two rows enable you to enter text or numeric constants across a row:
Text constant - allows you to insert a text phrase such as a department name or
grouping nomenclature, specified via the Define Content button.
Numeric constant - allows you to insert a numeric value, specified via the Define
Content button.
Data and Formula row types are described in the sections that follow.

5 Determine the subtotal method of the selected data from the drop down box
below the periodic display methods. This option is available for GL, Payroll or
Encounter numeric data.
Horizon Performance Manager chooses the most appropriate format as the
default subtotal method for the data you chose. For example, hourly rates are
displayed as an average and expenses are displayed as a total. For most
purposes, it is best to select the default processing option, however, you may
override the default method by choosing any of the other methods.
Depending on the data type of your attribute, different methods will be
displayed. For example, Value, First and Last apply only to date attributes.
Averages are automatically computed at the level at which the data is stored in
the dataset. For example, age will be averaged at the encounter level as the
data is stored in Horizon Performance Manager at this level. Units, costs and
charges would be averaged at the service item level. To compute an average
of units, costs or charges at a level other than at the service item level, you
must use a formula column.
For example, as cost data is stored at the service item level, selecting cost and
setting the display option to Average will automatically generate a column,
which displays the average cost per service item. To compute and display the
average cost per encounter, however, you should define a formula column to
divide costs (with the display option set to Total) by encounters.
(The information provided in the note following the previous step in this section
also applies to the subtotal methods available for display of the Selected
Data.)

When defining a data column, you can go a step further and qualify the criteria, to
reduce it to a smaller subset of data. For example, you could define several
columns as the number of encounters, but qualify each column by a different
discharge status. The subset criteria will be stored with the definition and applied
whenever this definition is used to create a worksheet. Qualifying data in this way
means that from a data sample that includes a broad spectrum of data, you can
produce worksheets that are limited to specific areas. You can also save these
criteria in a saved data selection and use it again in other worksheets and
definitions.
Click Qualify when defining a data column to bring up the Data Selection window

Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Formula Columns
Formula Columns
A formula column contains an arithmetic formula using data in other columns and/
or a dataset. Once you have chosen Formula as your Column Type in the
Define Column window, you can create your formula by selecting data attributes
directly from the list or you can reference a previously defined column, or a
combination of the two.
For example, you might have previously defined an Actual Expense column and a
Budget Expense column. Now you want to determine the variance between the
two columns. To do so, follow these steps:
1 In the Define Column window, click the Column Type arrow and choose
Formula.
2 Type in a title for your column.
3 Click the Define Content… button.
4 Click on Columns to display the previously defined columns.
5 Choose the Budget column and click the Accept button to add the budget
column to the formula.
6 Click the subtraction ( - ) button.
7 Choose the Actual column and click the Accept button to add the actual
column to the formula.
8 Click the OK button to accept the formula for the column.
Operators for formula columns include, addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication
(x), division (÷), and parentheses for nesting calculations. If you are using a
column in your formula, you may choose one of the column functions listed below:
• None - Performs no calculation on the column.
• Average - Calculates the average of a previously defined data column.
Multiple average operators may be used within a formula. For example, a
column may be defined as the average of column one plus the average of
column two.
• Grand Total - Calculates the total of a previously defined data column.
Multiple grand total operators may be used within a formula. For example, a
column may be defined as the grand total of column one plus the grand total of
column two.
• % of total -Calculates percent of previously defined column's total based on
the current drill level.
• Subtotal of level n - Calculates the subtotal of a specific drill level in a
previously defined column. Multiple subtotal operators may be used in a
formula. For example, a column may be defined as the subtotal of drill level
one divided by the subtotal of drill level two.

Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Using Date and Time Fields in Formula Columns
You can define a formula column to calculate the difference between any two of
the following attributes or constants:
• Date only
• Date and time
• Time only
Alternatively, you can perform date and time-math calculations in a worksheet by
selecting Date only, Date and time or Time only attributes or constants to define
two separate data columns and then defining a formula column to calculate the
difference between the columns.
Subtraction is the only arithmetic function available for use in date and time-math
calculations. The calculated diference is displayed as a whole number of Days or
Minutes, positive or negative, formatted for display to reflect the decimal setting
defined for the worksheet column.
When you define your formula column, select either Days or Minutes in the Format
area of the Define Column window to established how the results of the
calculation is reported in your worksheet.
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 2-33
Chapter 2 - Worksheet Definition Editor Using Date and Time Fields in Formula Columns
Days = Date value for Attribute 1 minus Date value for Attribute 2
(Time values are ignored in the calculation.)
Minutes = Time value for Attribute 1 minus Time value for Attribute 2
(Date values are ignored in the calculation.)
The above represents the general calculation of date and time values for Days
and Minutes. Sometimes, however, special handling may be necessary. For
example, in certain cases, the data present (or not present) on the attributes you
select for use in your date/time-math calculation may not allow for the calculation
to be performed and reported in whole days or whole minutes. In other cases, an
assumption has been made or a conversion has been performed in the calculation
for reporting purposes.
Cases requiring special handling are discussed in the following pages of this
section. As you continue through this section, you will find special handling rules
for calculations in Days and Minutes, examples of date and time math
calculations, informational notes regarding date/time math usage and a
troubleshooting table to assist you in problem-solving if your date/time-math
formula columns do not produce the results you expect.

4 Now, assume the same information as the example immediately above, except
that the decimal precision for Column 2 is set to zero.
Since the decimal precision for Column 2 is set to 0, the calculated value for
Column 2 has been rounded to the nearest whole number (up from 1.5 to 2)
and is displayed with zero decimal places.
5 Date and time fields can also be combined with non-date values in a single
formula as long as subtraction between the date and time fields occurs before
any arithmetic operation with a non-date.
A single formula column, as shown below, can be created to obtain the same
result as shown in the previous example. Data precision for the column is zero.
Formula Column 1
Time Constant - Admission Time x .5
6 In this example, assume you want to determine the elapsed time in Minutes
between a Time constant and a Date/time field. Data precision for the column
is zero places.
Formula Column 1
Time Constant - Admission Date/Time
In this example, the Date value is ignored in the calculation of the results in
Minutes.
7 Assume you want to calculate the elapsed time in Minutes between two Date
only values.
Since there are no time values present on the selected attributes, the
calculation is performed in days and then converted to Minutes.

the rows of the worksheet simply by choosing the group definition as your drill
level, rather than individually defining each row of your worksheet.
Once you have created your group, you can use the group definition or the
individual rows within the group as data selection and qualification criteria in your
worksheet. In addition, the group or group row data can also be used with And/Or
operators to form complex expressions. You can also use data fields that are
unrelated to your group when creating data selection/qualification expressions.

Chapter 3 - Grouping Components of the Grouping Window
• Data Item to Group - Select the type of data that you want to group together.
You can group any of the following data types:
- Account Periodic Values
- Component
- Department
- Encounter
- Entity
- Facility
- Position
- Service Item
Each group definition contains groups of one type. You might have a definition
that groups accounts and another that groups positions. Each group within a
definition is labeled for identification. This label will be displayed as the row
title if the group is used as a drill level in a worksheet.
• Group Definition Name - Type a descriptive name for your group definition.
You may also save an existing group definition with a new name, or you may
simply rename it by typing a new name. You are then prompted to save it as a
new definition or rename it.
When you save an existing group with a new name or rename it, you become
the owner of the new group. This is a useful option when you want to make
modifications to a group that you do not own so you can use it in a worksheet.
Note: Worksheet Build selects the appropriate group definition for use in
your worksheet based on the name you give the group when you define it.
Consequently, if you revise a group definition and build a worksheet (or rebuild
an existing worksheet) that uses that group definition as data selection or
qualification criteria, the revised group data will be displayed in your
worksheet. If you delete an existing group and create a new group with the
same name, Worksheet Build will use the newly developed group definition
and associated row data in your worksheet.
Click the Shared box if you want the grouping to be available to other users.
• Report Order - This number represents the order in which the group will be
displayed in worksheet rows. You can change the order by selecting the
number and typing a new number over it.
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 3-3
Chapter 3 - Grouping Components of the Grouping Window
• Assign Order - Used to determine which criteria to test the data record
against first when records cannot appear in more than one group. Data
records will be assigned to the first group that its criteria match. To report
data records most accurately, groups with lower assignment order numbers
should have a selection that is more specific. For example, a group with an
assignment order of 1 might contain account 102, 110 and 140, while a group
with an assignment order of 2 will include accounts 100-150, and a group with
an assignment order of 3 will contain all accounts greater than 150. Each
group becomes successively less specific than the one before it.
Sometimes a data record will match more than one group's selection criteria.
In that case, that data record would be assigned to the group with the lowest
assignment order number. However, if you want a record to be assigned to
every group that it matches, you can check the box at the bottom of the
window entitled Allow records to be assigned to more than one group.
This, for example, would be appropriate for responsibility reporting.
• Label - Type a descriptive title for the group. This title will be displayed as the
title of the row when you use the group in a worksheet.
• Selection Criteria - Selection criteria lists the criteria by which data records
are tested.
Click on the Select Data option to establish your selection criteria.
• New Row - Accepts the data in the current row and allows you to define
another one.
• Clear - Deletes the selected row in the group definition.
• Assign - Associates a group definition to a dataset. Assign is used once
when the entire definition has been completed. When chosen, you will be
prompted for a dataset to assign. The same definition can be assigned to
more than one dataset.
Before a group can be assigned to a dataset, it must meet both of the following
conditions:
- It must be complete. In other words, it must have a Group Definition
Name, a Data Item to Group, and an Assign Order, Report Order,
Label and Selection Criteria.
- It must be saved.
Worksheet Guide
3-4 11.0 September 2007
Chapter 3 - Grouping Components of the Grouping Window
Groups must be assigned to data tables, depending on the type of data in the
group:
- For example, account data must be assigned to a chart of
accounts table. This group can then be used to access data
from all the datasets that are associated with that chart of
accounts table.
- Encounter groups and position data are unique. They will
not be associated with any tables; but will always be
assigned directly to specific datasets.
Example
Suppose you were grouping departments from different entities, based on the
type of service they provide. All the groups in your definition would be based on
Department. You might call the group Radiology and specify the various radiology
departments across the entities in which you were interested. Assuming that the
radiology departments do not all have the same department number, the selection
criteria would be something like (Entity A, department 8060) or (Entity B,
department 6070) or (Entity C, department 6070). Each radiology department
would then be selected and represented in your group. When using this group to
supply data for a worksheet, the data for all departments would be combined in
one row.

Chapter 4 - Sampling
Sampling allows you to create a subset of one or many datasets. The resulting
samples appear with all other datasets in lists, and they can be used for reporting.
In addition, by using data sampling, your worksheets will build more quickly. For
example, you could create samples that allow you to report on the following:
• all encounters with a specific DRG
• all encounters that use a specific department
The following table illustrates some of the differences between sampling and a
data selection:

worksheet will be built as a read-only worksheet. You cannot build a
model worksheet if your worksheet includes clinical data, has single row
drill levels, group drill levels that reference a group with the Allow
Duplicates box checked or has Print/Display Formatting defined to
display in thousands, millions or billions.
• Detach - This option is selected by default. It allows you to do other work
within Horizon Performance Manager while the worksheet builds. It is
recommended that you select this option most of the time. If you detach
from the worksheet build process, you will be notified when it is finished.
You may also see a list of all detached processes in the Job Viewer. If
you choose not to detach from the job, you will be unable to use any other
Horizon Performance Manager applications while the job is building.
• Limit Cross Encounter Event Data - This option allows you to limit the
cross encounter event data that is displayed in your worksheet. You can
choose to display only Initial Encounters or only Subsequent
Encounters in worksheet columns. This option is also available in the
Worksheet Definition Editor. If you established a limit when you created
your worksheet, the Worksheet Build window displays your existing
setting. Resetting the option from the Worksheet Build window overrides
the previous setting.
• Reapply Groups if Outdated/Reapply Samples if Outdated - Groups
and samples may contain data that is outdated and no longer match the
data in the dataset. To have the information contained in your groups and
samples updated so that it matches the information in the database, click
these buttons. Note that updating groups and samples will increase your
worksheet processing time.
• Add New Account rows/Add new Job Code rows - Allows you to add
new account and/or job code rows to the worksheet. This is particularly
useful in the budgeting process (especially distributed budgeting). The
Add new Job Code rows is intended for use with job code level payroll
budgeting rather than with position level budgeting. Note, however, that
when you select this option, a default position code is automatically
created for each new job code. Default position codes are named as
follows: ![jobcodename].
In order to use these options you must choose to build a model worksheet.
In addition, your worksheet definition must include only the required drill
levels in the correct order. (See page 2-5.) Also, when you created your
worksheet definition, you must have formatted at least one column
definition to allow editing of new rows in order to enable the Add New

Chapter 6 - Using Worksheets Graphs
Graphs
After you build a worksheet, you can analyze your data in several graphing
formats.
• First select the rows, columns or individual cells that contain the data you want
to graph. To select an entire row or column, click on the title of that row or
column. You can select adjacent rows, columns or cells by clicking and
dragging across the area that you want. If you want to select nonadjacent
rows, columns, or cells, hold down the shift key and click on the cells that you
want.
• Then, choose Graph from the Worksheet Options menu and select the type
of graph that you want. The type of graph you choose will depend upon the
type of data in your worksheet and how you want to present it. The following
graphs are available:
Area - Area graphs emphasize the amount of change in data over a period of
time. They are well suited to illustrate how periodic data changes over time, and
how it compares to the changes of other data.
Bar - Bar graphs compare the values of data items. For example, you can use a
bar graph to compare the revenue, expense or net income of several departments
for a given year.
Line - A line graph illustrates the change of periodic data. Rather than
emphasizing the amount of change, as an area graph does, line graphs
accentuate the rate of change.
Pareto - Pareto graphs present your worksheet data in descending order and
indicate the rate at which the data is accumulating toward 100 percent.
Pie - Pie graphs compare proportions or parts of a total. You could use a pie
graph to display the percent that each department contributes to the net income.
Only one row or column can be displayed at a time in a pie graph.
Scatterplot - A scatterplot graph plots data as X, Y coordinates. This type of
graph is useful for identifying trends between independent and dependent
variables, such as expense versus length of stay within a department.
Stacked Bar - Like a pie graph, a stacked bar graph can show proportions of a
total. Unlike a pie graph, however, you can view multiple worksheet rows and
columns of data simultaneously.
Stacked Line - Stacked line graphs place emphasis on the rate of change, but
also show change. Both the presentation of data and use are similar to those of
area graphs.
Step - Step graphs combine the features of line and bar graphs.
Click Flip to switch the X and Y axes. If a graph is too long to be displayed on one
window, click the Next or Prev buttons to scroll forward or backward along the Y
axis.

Chapter 6 - Using Worksheets Modify Data in a Worksheet
If you build a model worksheet, you can then modify the data within the
worksheet. When you modify the value of one cell in a worksheet, other cells may
also be affected. At the very least, changing a cell's value would influence rows
that use that cell to calculate a total. If the modified cell is in the top level of a row
defined as a drill level, then all the values below that level will be recalculated; if
the changed cell is below the top level, the change will percolate up and down.

Chapter 6 - Using Worksheets Modify a Cell
Modify a Cell
To modify a worksheet cell, first select a cell, a group of cells, or a whole column,
then select Modify… from the Data menu. The following options can be modified:
1 Value - Enter a number by which to change the data.
2 Type - Indicate whether the value represents an amount or a percentage.
3 Modification
• Increase or decrease the current amount in each cell by the amount or
percentage you entered.
• Replace the current amount in each cell with the amount you entered.
• Multiply or divide the current amount by the amount or percent you
entered.
4 Target for change- Where a cell represents more than one period's data, you
can choose Cell value, Payroll or GL Period, or Payroll dates to which the
change will apply:
• Cell value - Modifies total of values that contribute to the period by the
value you specified, in the same proportion as existed before. This change
applies to all the periods defined for the value, as shown in the From and
To range.
• Payroll or GL Period - The description you see will depend on the data
you selected. This will modify each period individually by the value you
specified. You can use the From and To dates to specify the periods that
should be affected by the change.
• Payroll dates - You can use any payroll date column defined for the
worksheet. The payroll date is the start date for the range, which continues
to the end of the fiscal year. This end date is displayed after the label To:.
This will modify each period individually by the value you specified. If you
have selected multiple columns and their periods do not match, you can
only change cell values.

Periodic Spread
The periodic spread function is used to apportion data across time. In the
worksheet, you can select a cell, row, or column of data, such as a total column,
that represents more than one period of data. Use one of four methods to spread
the data across the time period it represents.
From the worksheet, select the data you will spread by selecting a cell, row or
column.
Value - Enter the value to be spread.
Method - Choose a spread method.
• Proportional - Divides an amount across the date range in the same
average proportion as was found in the statistical datasets. You will select
the statistical datasets you want to use from a list.
• Even Distribution - divides an amount evenly across a date range.
• Days in Period - Spreads an amount into selected periods based on the
proportion of the number of days in each period to the total number of days
in the range.
• User Supplied Statistics - Spreads an amount into selected periods
based on a statistic that you enter, or copy and paste from a worksheet.
You can save a worksheet in which you modified data without changing the date
in the dataset. In that case, you have created a model that can be used for
analysis. Such a model can be modified as many times as you want, without
affecting the current data.
To incorporate the changed worksheet data back to the dataset, you must use the
Commit function.
Worksheet Guide
September 2007 11.0 6-13
Chapter 6 - Using Worksheets Commit the Data
This is a way of updating the data in a dataset. When you commit, only the data to
which you have modify access will be committed to the datasets. For example, if
you only have modify access to department 400 out of all the departments in your
worksheet, then only data for department 400 will be committed back to the
datasets.
The following are components of the Worksheet Commit window:
• Datasets - For all the data in this worksheet, lists the reference names and the
datasets associated with them.
• Changes Since Build or Commit - This column will contain Yes or No to
indicate whether or not the data in the dataset has been changed since the
worksheet was built or committed.
• Commit - Click the Commit button to save your worksheet changes to the

Chapter 7 - Exporting Worksheets
The type of output file you choose to export determines the format and report
options available to you as well as the required file name extension and the
location where your export file can be stored.
Follow the steps below to export a Horizon Performance Manager worksheet file.
1 From the Type dropdown list, select the type of output file you want to export.
The file type that you select in this step determines which of the following
steps you need to perform to format your file for export. Each of the following
steps in this section is tagged to indicate the file type(s) to which it applies.
Note: : If you selected the Export Current Drill option, you cannot create an
export file for use in ds.Pathfinder or Horizon Business Insight. Only text type
files can be created from this option.
• ds.Pathfinder - Select to create a file that you can view and distribute
through ds.Pathfinder. Worksheets exported to ds.Pathfinder retain their
numeric formatting when exported. For example, $ and % that are
displayed in the worksheet will also be displayed in ds.Pathfinder.

2 Text file type only: Activate the following options in the Format Options area
of the window to define the format for your exported text file.
• Export at lowest drill level - When this checkbox is selected, each drill
level included in the report is displayed in the exported file in a separate
column and excludes subtotals and totals. When this option is deselected,
all drill levels in the worksheet will be displayed in the exported file in a
single column including subtotals and totals. In the example below,
assume a worksheet with two drill levels: (1) Department; (2) Account
- Export at lowest drill level cannot be used with the Export Current
Drill option.
• Include column labels - Select this option if you want the column labels in
your worksheet file to be displayed in the exported file. When you choose
to inlcude column labels, they are displayed at the top of each column in

• Include row labels - Select this option if you want the row/drill level labels
in your worksheet file to be displayed in the exported file. When you
choose to include row labels, they are displayed in the first column of each
row of the exported file.
• Include header information - Select this option to include worksheet
header rows when you export a text file.
• Include accounting characters - Select this option to export dollar ($)
and percent (%) signs in your worksheet file. The following conditions
must be met for these characters to be exported:
- The $ must be the only character in the prefix. Dollar signs are not
displayed in the exported file if they are defined as suffixes in your
worksheet.
- The % must be the only character in the suffix. Percent signs are not
displayed in the exported file if they are defined as prefixes in your
worksheet.
• Include all other prefixes and suffixes - Select this option to export any
prefix(es) or suffix(es) included in your worksheet definition. This option
will not export the accounting characters discussed above. Select the
Include accounting characters option to export a $ and/or a % defined as a
prefix or suffix in the worksheet definition. In addition, if the option to
Display Negatives in Parentheses has been selected as part of your
worksheet definition (Format/Print/Display Formatting/Display Negatives in
Parentheses), the negative and parentheses characters are treated as
prefixes and suffixes by the Include all other prefixes and suffixes option
and these characters are displayed in your exported file.
3 Horizon Business Insight Reports only: In the Format Options area of the
window, place a checkmark in the box provided to Include first four header
lines in title to append this worksheet header data to the report title in the
export file. Note that only the first 80 characters in each worksheet header line
can be exported. Refer to the section entitled, Worksheet Definition Format
Options for information on including headers in a worksheet definition.
4 All file types: The Mask identifiers format option applies the de-identification
settings you established when you defined your worksheet columns and drill
levels. If you do not select this option, no data is de-identified in the printed
worksheet.
To override the de-identification settings you established when you defined
your worksheet, click Select and change them on the Identifiers to Mask
window. (See page 1-23). The changes you make here only affect the
worksheet you are currently exporting; they do not affect the de-identification
settings in your worksheet definition.
If this option is unavailable (appears dimmed), either the worksheet contains
no data that can be masked, or no data is selected to be masked in the
worksheet definition. Refer to Appendix B of this manual for a complete list of
data available to be masked.

level.
6 Text file type only: Use the following Report Options to define your
worksheet export format.
• Field separator - To change the delimiter in your worksheet, select one of

• Record separator - In a worksheet export file each row comprises a
record. Some applications or other spreadsheet software packages
require that records be separated by a specific character. The worksheet
export process separates records from one another by either of the
following line termination options:
- Carriage return <cr> - used for exports to a PC destination; the record
separator used for this option is a carriage return followed by a line
feed.
- Line feed - used for exports to a UNIX destination; the record separator
used for this option is a line feed only.
• String delimiter - Some applications require that strings of alphabetic
characters be enclosed in punctuation. You can choose from Single
quotes, Double quotes or None.

Chapter 8 - Job Viewer Job Viewer Options
The following options can be found in the menus or on the toolbar. You can also
select some of these options from a shortcut menu by right clicking anywhere in
the list of jobs.
• Cancel Active Job - stops processing the selected job. Unless you have been
given additional security privileges, you can only cancel a job that you own.
Your job can be stopped while running in attached or detached mode. You can
also cancel the applicable step from a batch job. Only certain types of
processing can be canceled; if this option is greyed out, then you cannot use it
to cancel the selected job.
In the Job Viewer window, a red traffic light icon located to the left of the job
number indicates that the job or batch step has been canceled. Additional
information is also displayed in the Status Message and Completion Status
fields.
The Job Viewer log files associated with a canceled job or batch step indicate
the name of the user who canceled the job and the date and time.
• Delete All Completed Job Records - deletes the records and log files for the
completed jobs displayed on the window. You may use this option in
conjunction with the Filter option to delete specific records and log files. For
example, you can list all jobs that were completed prior to a specific date.
Then when these jobs are displayed, selecting Delete All Completed Job
Records will remove only the listed jobs.
Note: Job Manager reuses old job numbers, as it always assigns the lowest
possible available job number when a job is initiated. If you have jobs
numbered from 1 to 50 listed in Job Viewer and you delete jobs 1 and 5, the
next three job references assigned by Job Manager will be 1, 5, and 51.
• Delete Job Record - deletes the information for the selected job from the list.
• Filter - displays only the jobs that meet certain criteria.
• Job Scheduler - use to run a batch job immediately or schedule it to run
sometime in the future.
• Print Screen - copies an image of the screen to the clipboard. You may then

include in your batch from the list.
4 Once the selected application opens, you can define the step just as if you
were running the program normally.
Note: If your batch includes a Dataset Copy step, note the following:
A batch step that references an existing dataset as the target will fail.
Therefore, before you rerun a batch that includes a dataset copy step, you
must update the dataset copy step. To do so, you can either use the Modify
option in the Batch Editor to change the name of the target dataset referenced
in the step OR you can delete the existing dataset copy step from the batch
and give it a new name when you recreate it.
5 Close the application when you are done defining the step. You are returned
to the Batch Editor where you can supply additional information about the
definition and the step.
6 Do you want other users to be able to use this batch definition?
• If yes, keep the default setting of Public.
• If no, select Private.
7 Do you want the batch job to quit processing if any step does not successfully
complete?
• If yes, choose the Exit if any Step Fails option.
• If no, clear the Exit if any Step Fails box.
8 Do you want to make the selected step dependent on the successful
completion of a previous step? This option is only available if you did not
select the Exit if any Step Fails option.
• If yes, you may choose any previous step. Then, if the dependent step
fails, the selected step will not run.

Share
Share sends entire worksheets or definitions to other users. This option allows
you to give the recipients either view or modify access to the worksheet. View
access allows users to see the data, while modify access allows them to both view
and edit it.
Reasons to use Share:
• One person can create a report regularly that other people will review.
• An analyst might be assigned the task of designing and creating worksheet
definitions for other users to build from.
• Two or more users might want to create a worksheet definition together. They
can work on their parts separately and exchange them as necessary.

Difference Between Sharing Worksheets and Worksheet
Chapter 10 - Sharing & Distributing Worksheets Definitions
Strictly speaking, worksheets are moved and definitions are copied. This means
that when you send a worksheet via the Share option, you give it away. It will no
longer appear in your folder and you will have to move it back to your own library if
you want to work with it. When you send a worksheet definition, on the other
hand, you will still retain a copy of it in your own library.
Worksheets and worksheet definitions must be sent from your own library. They
are always sent to the Public Library, but you will choose the folder where the
item will be sent. Although a given folder may contain many worksheets or
worksheet definitions, individual users will see only the worksheets and definitions
to which they have been given access.

Chapter 10 - Sharing & Distributing Worksheets Associations Among Distributed Worksheets
Once you have distributed a worksheet, you cannot modify the list of users who
can see it. Before distributing, however, you can see the Preview Distribution
option to compare the master worksheet to the distribution list. This will tell you
which rows of the worksheet will not be distributed to a recipient and which
recipients will get no rows from that worksheet. To see who received a distributed
worksheet, select the worksheet and choose the Information option from the
Worksheet menu.
Each distributed worksheet is associated with the worksheet from which it was
distributed. The following actions, however, will discontinue the association:
• Editing a distribution list and saving it under the same name.
• Redistributing a worksheet.
• Rebuilding a master worksheet, a worksheet that has already been distributed
or a worksheet that resulted from one being distributed.
Submit a Worksheet
Use this option to send a worksheet that you have modified back to the owner of
the worksheet from which it was distributed. This option is found on the File menu

Chapter 10 - Sharing & Distributing Worksheets Distributed Worksheet Names
If you intend to distribute your worksheet, you may want to shorten the name of
the master worksheet when you Build it. Worksheet names, including the names
of distributed worksheets, cannot exceed 80 characters. When you burst and
distribute a master worksheet, the names of the resulting distributed worksheets
will be derived as follows:
• first 60 characters of the name of the master worksheet followed by a hyphen;
plus
• first 16 characters of the description you entered on the distribution list
followed by a hyphen; plus
• a two digit distribution iteration number
When the number of characters in the name of the master worksheet or the
description exceeds the character limit above, all trailing characters will be
truncated from the name of the distributed worksheets.
For example, assume your master worksheet is named:
• Amherst Medical Group of Hadley, Massachusetts 2001 Fiscal Budget
Your distribution list includes three description entries:
- Radiology Department
- Anesthesia Department
- Lab Department
The first time you burst and distribute your worksheets, the three distributed
worksheets will be named as follows:
• Amherst Medical Group of Hadley, Massachusetts 2001 Fiscal B-Radiology
Depart-01
• Amherst Medical Group of Hadley, Massachusetts 2001 Fiscal B-Anesthesia
