10. Module Design Optimization

  • Selective Access: Use selective access sparingly to restrict user access to data, improving performance by reducing the amount of data loaded.
  • Module Size: Keep modules as lean as possible by limiting unnecessary line items and dimensions. Split large modules into smaller ones where feasible.
  • Use of Lists: Optimize list hierarchies and reduce the number of list items where possible to streamline calculations.

11. Formula and Calculation Optimization

  • Formula Efficiency: Write efficient formulas by minimizing nested IF statements and unnecessary calculations. Use boolean logic and hierarchy functions (PARENT, CHILDREN) effectively.
  • Avoid Circular References: Design models to minimize circular references, which can slow down calculations.
  • Use of System Modules: Utilize system modules for intermediate calculations to reduce complexity in main modules.
