About Scenarios

In Flow Generative Scheduling, a scenario is an instance of your schedule. You can have as many scenarios as you want or need to explore different schedule layouts.

And when you want to push your schedule back to Flow Production Tracking or export it out as a file, it is a scenario that you push back or export.
