The Scenario 360 toolbar appears by default upon installation of Scenario 360. (Additional Scenario 360 toolbars are also available but must be turned on separately.) Like toolbars in ArcGIS, the Scenario 360 toolbar can be docked A docked toolbar or docked view window is a toolbar or view window that is attached to one edge of the program window. When you drag a toolbar (like the Scenario 360 toolbar) or view window (like the charts view window) below the program title bar or to the left, right, or bottom edge of the program window, the toolbar or view window snaps into place on the edge of the program window. See also: floating toolbar/view window. at the top, bottom, left, or right side of the ArcMap window. Alternatively, toolbars can float A floating toolbar or view window is a toolbar or view window that is not attached to the edge of the program window. See also: docked toolbar/view window. on the desktop while functioning as part of the application. When you dock a toolbar, it is moved and resized with the application window.
To move a docked toolbar, click the move handle
and drag the toolbar to the new location.
To move a floating toolbar, click on the title bar and drag the toolbar to the new location. Note: If you drag the toolbar to the edge of the program window, it becomes a docked toolbar. When you move one docked toolbar, this might affect the location and size of other toolbars on the same row.
To prevent a toolbar from docking, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging it.
You can close a floating toolbar by clicking the x in the upper right corner of the toolbar. You can open or close toolbars by clicking the View menu, pointing to Toolbars, and then clicking next to the toolbar name you wish to open or close.
You can learn what the toolbar buttons and menu commands do by positioning
the mouse pointer over a button or menu command for a second or two. The
name of the item will then pop up in a small box. Simultaneously, a brief
description will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the application
window. To quickly display a longer description of a Scenario 360 toolbar
button or menu command, click the What's This? button 
on
the ArcMap toolbar, then click the item you're interested in.
Toolbar buttons toggle windows on and off. Click a toolbar button to open the relevant window. Click it again to close that window.
Open a recent Scenario 360 analysis A Scenario 360 analysis is a means of evaluating an issue or opportunity,
including alternative approaches ("scenarios"), community input,
outcome analysis, and decisions. In Scenario 360, an analysis provides
the overall framework for a project. It includes all of the map data,
scenarios, calculations, and indicators for the various alternatives you
may consider when evaluating an issue or opportunity.,
open any existing analysis, or create a new analysis.
Modify assumption An assumption is a value that is used as input to an analysis and it
is often changeable. Assumptions apply to an entire scenario. For example,
your assumptions about water consumption per household will impact the
indicator for total water consumption for a scenario. Values that depend
on a particular assumption are automatically updated when the assumption
is changed and you click the Apply button.
values to evaluate analysis impacts. Use
slider bars, selection drop downs, and/or table editing to experiment
with alternative results.
List the current value of
indicators Indicators are the impact or performance measures that help people choose
alternatives that best match their objectives or desired outcomes. An
indicator is a calculated value that represents the impacts or outcomes
of a scenario. Indicator results are automatically recalculated as you
experiment with alternatives and the results can be displayed in a chart.
Indicators apply to an entire scenario. An indicator might be used to
evaluate costs, revenues, average household size, "community benefit",
or total daily auto trips.

Analysis
New
Create a new analysis by:
Using an existing mxd (ArcGIS™ map document) or analysis as a template Templates allow you to standardize the layout of a map document and store layout and data that you want to be able to use over and over again. Using a template can save you time since you don't have to manually reproduce the common parts of the map document. Templates can be shared within an organization to increase productivity and standardize the maps that the organization produces..

Tools Common Impacts Wizard
Using instructions provided in the Wizard steps, provide basic information needed for the Wizard to automatically set up analyses of impacts commonly associated with growth and development. The wizard will create assumptions, attributes, indicators, and charts that will help you analyze the potential impacts of buildings in a buildings layer you specify.
Tools Optimizer Wizard
Using instructions provided in the Wizard steps, enter data and the Optimizer Wizard will create a weighting attribute in the layer you specify. The weighting attribute is the result of the optimization: it tells you how much of each feature to use in order to achieve the desired optimization.
Tools Suitability Wizard
Using instructions provided in the Wizard steps, provide basic information needed for the Wizard to automatically set up one or more weighted suitability or desirability analyses. The Wizard will create assumptions, attributes, indicators, and charts that will help you determine the suitability of features in a layer for a particular use.
Tools Allocator Wizard
Using instructions provided in the Wizard steps, enter data and the Allocator tool will perform the common planning function of allocating demand for buildings across the available supply of potential building locations. Buildings are placed according to the desirability and capacity of each land-use area.
Tools Build-Out Wizard
Using instructions provided in the Wizard steps, create or run a build-out analysis.
Tools TimeScope
TimeScope is a tool that helps you look at changes over time. You can assign a “build date” to features within a layer based on rules you set, such as rate of growth and building sequence then change the nominal date you are viewing in the analysis, making features appear and disappear accordingly.
