# Scenarios

Scenarios are a way to indicate the viewer what kind of data the elements in a chart or table represent. The International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) propose the usage of the following four scenarios (or data types; see <https://ibcs.konveio.site/ibcs-standards-12#page=34>):

| Short      | Name             | Format Example                   |
| ---------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| AC         | Actual           | ![](/files/v1j6Uwd0oRSNTFc7Znrr) |
| PP         | Previous Period  | ![](/files/eruECZVK1jDkhaLmBwIx) |
| PL (or BU) | Plan (or Budget) | ![](/files/QsiDOm3gJ5HPYOsqnjIE) |
| FC         | Forecast         | ![](/files/iXyeYTiHJ5qQBZAa4Qk7) |

To visualize a series formatted as a scenario, you have to let the name of the measure end with the abbreviation. These are examples:

![](/files/NgU8UrpRw7Cayg3NanEO)

![](/files/cR6M7SGi49bJXbgv9KyF)

![](/files/mGfnrzl5gMflQz1TGeqr)

You can rename the measures for each visual individually:
