Establish global definitions

Before you create a site or load any data, you need to define the global elements that form the backbone of your planning environment. These definitions apply across all sites in your project, ensuring consistency and reducing duplication.

Global definitions include the key components that XECUTE uses to calculate reserves, schedule tasks, and report outcomes, such as principal fields, materials, activities, operating hours, and resources. Setting these up first means every site you create will share the same structure and terminology, making it easier to maintain standards and compare scenarios.

You’ll configure these items in Config under System Configuration. Once they’re in place, you can move on to creating a site and loading its base data.
