# Oculon glossary

## Variables

A variable is a named value that represents a metric, assumption, or calculation used to build and drive your financial model.

## Helper Variables

Helper variables are intermediate variables used to simplify complex formulas by breaking them into smaller, reusable steps.

## Actual Formuala

An actual formula defines how values are calculated using real, observed data within the model.

## Plan Formuala

A plan formula defines how future or projected values are calculated based on formula, assumptions, drivers, or scenarios.

## Time Cell values

A time value represents the value of a variable for a specific time period (e.g., a month or quarter) within the model.

## Models

A model is a structured workspace where variables, formulas, and data are organized to plan, analyze, and forecast business outcomes.

## Sections

A section is a logical grouping of related variables within a model, used to organize and structure your analysis.

## Trend

Trend shows a visual representation of how a value changes over a selected time range within the model.

## Charts

#### Bar Chart

A bar chart displays data using bars to compare values across categories or periods.

#### Line Chart

A line chart displays data as a continuous line to show trends and changes over time.

#### KPI Card

A KPI card displays a key metric with its value, helping you quickly track performance at a glance.

## Dimensions

Dimensions are categories used to segment and organize data, such as by product, region, or customer.

## Boards

Boards are visual interfaces used to explore, present, and monitor data through charts, tables, and key metrics.

## Database

The database is where raw and structured data is stored, managed, and queried for use in models and boards.

## Templates

A variable is a named value that represents a metric, assumption, or calculation used to build and drive your financial model.

## Integrations

Integrations are connections to external data sources that allow you to import, sync, and query data into your models and database.

## Granularity

Granularity determines the time interval at which data is represented in the model, such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly.

## Scenarios

A variable is a named value that represents a metric, assumption, or calculation used to build and drive your financial model.

## Library

The library is a centralized place to manage shared resources such as integrations and dimensions used across models.

## Templates

Templates are reusable setups used to quickly create models, boards, databases, or combinations of these with predefined structure and logic.

## Spaces

Spaces are collaborative environments used to organize and manage models, boards, and databases for teams or specific use cases.

## Private space

A private space is a default personal space that cannot be shared with others and is accessible only to you.

## Workspace

A workspace is the top-level environment that contains all your spaces, models, boards, and data, and represents a distinct organization or account.

## Model Date Range

The model date range defines the start and end periods over which the model is built and analyzed.

## Last Actual Date

The last actual date marks the most recent period for which real (actual) data is available, separating actuals from planned values.

## Relative Date

Relative date allows time periods to adjust dynamically based on the current date instead of fixed calendar dates.(Month 1, Month 2,..)

## Pages(Linked Items)

A variable is a named value that represents a metric, assumption, or calculation used to build and drive your financial model.

## Fiscal year

Fiscal year defines the accounting year used in the model, which may differ from the calendar year.

## Queries

A query is used to fetch and transform data from connected integrations to create and populate databases within Oculon.

## Linked Models

Linked models are models that are referenced within the current model through formulas or dependencies.
