What is the process for adding new time periods without altering existing strata?

The process for adding new time periods without altering existing strata is referred to as Appending Calendar. This method allows users to expand the time framework used within Workday Adaptive Planning while ensuring that established strata remain intact. By appending the calendar, you can generate additional periods—such as new months or quarters—without impacting the structure or format of the existing time periods.

This approach is particularly useful for organizations that need to plan or report based on extended time frames, such as multi-year projections, enabling them to integrate new data effectively. It helps maintain consistency in reporting and analysis by preserving the integrity of the current time strata setup.

Other options, like Calendar Extension and Modifying Time Strata, suggest alterations to existing time frameworks rather than simply adding additional periods. Time Period Adjustment, while involving time periods, does not specifically address the process of adding new periods independently. Thus, these alternatives do not align with the objective of adding time periods while keeping the original structure unchanged.
