Budget Workstations

Definition: Budget workstation

A Budget workstation is a data access tool that enables you to perform the following tasks:

• Define and maintain personal database objects such as dimensions, attributes, hierarchies, models, solve definitions, and group solve definitions

• Create and maintain personal reports, graphs, worksheets, and folders

• Use administrator defined database objects and documents

• Submit financial data from the personal database to the Administrator workstation's shared database

• Refresh the personal database with data from the Administrator workstation's shared database

Location in a tiered architecture

In a tiered structure, a Budget workstation is located beneath the Administrator workstation that created it and is associated with a personal database that contains database structures, settings, and financial data.

Multiple Budget workstations can exist beneath the same Administrator workstation. In a tiered configuration, multiple Budget workstations can also exist at multiple levels of the configuration.
