What are Global Inputs?

Different Use Cases often rely on similar inputs - for example, the # number of employees that a prospect has. Global Inputs allow you to use the same values across multiple Use Cases, making it easy to manage and update them.

​
How Global Inputs work

In the Calculator Builder Global Inputs are defined in the Calculator Builder and can be used almost like a regular input - with the difference that updates to a Global Input are reflected in all references to this Global Input across different ROI Calculations. In a Business Case If multiple Use Cases in a Business Case use the same Global Input, the values are connected. Any change you make - for example, updating the # number of employees or the $ total revenue for the prospect - will be reflected across all Use Cases that rely on this Global Input.

How to start using Global Inputs

Note: To create or edit a Global Input, you need to have permission to edit Use Cases in Minoa.

​
Step 1: Navigate to the Calculation Builder

Start by selecting an existing calculation or adding a new calculation. Click on “Add Global Input Value” in the dropdown menu of the “Add New Input Value” button.

​
Step 2: Select or Create new Global Input

In the modal, you can either:
  1. Click on an existing Global Input to add it to your use case.
  2. Click on the “Add new” button on the bottom right to create a new Global Input.
Note: Global Inputs cannot be edited in the drawer of the Calculation Builder. To edit the Global Input, open the above modal and select the ‘edit’ button to make changes.

​
Step 3: See the Global Input in the Business Case

After you’ve created or edited a calculation to include a reference to a Global Input, you can navigate to a Business Case that includes the calculation and see the Global Input in action! Notice how any changes to the Global Input are reflected across the two Use Cases - simple, right? 😊
