What is an example of a cell that cannot be edited or changed in the system?

In Workday Adaptive Planning, a cell that cannot be edited or changed is characterized as a read-only cell. These cells are typically used to display calculated values or data that come from external sources or derived from other inputs within the budgeting or forecasting processes. Since their purpose is to present information without allowing for direct modifications, this aspect ensures data integrity and prevents unintentional alterations.

For instance, when a cell contains a formula that aggregates costs from various departments, it serves the role of providing crucial insights while safeguarding the underlying data from accidental changes. Therefore, recognizing read-only cells is essential for maintaining accurate modeling and financial reporting.

Other types of cells, such as rollup cells, adjustment cells, and even adjustment cells, may have specific functionalities that allow for input or modifications based on user needs or financial scenarios. Understanding the function of read-only cells versus other cell types is fundamental for effective utilization of the Workday Adaptive Planning system.
