Arc cube viewer use a modern grid component which gives you the Excel like editing features and can copy/paste from Excel. In this article we cover the most important Arc cube viewer features.

One of the advantages of using the MDX views from PAX (Planning Analytics for Excel), PAW (Planning Analytics Workspace) or Arc is that you don’t have to select elements from all dimensions to start seeing some data. If one dimension is not selected, TM1 will show you the value of the default member.

Arc helps you develop higher quality TM1/Planning Analytics applications faster. Arc is full of features which will save you lots of time, one of them is the snippets.

Arc is full of features, one of them is to be able to store your TM1 credentials. In the settings tab of the About page, just tick the stored credentials option under TM1 Credentials:

Instead of starting from scratch each time you need a new object, Arc enables you to create a new object (cube, chore, dimension and process) from templates.

Debugging code allows you to step through line-by-line and see what the values of the variables are as you go. No need to write out to ASCII files with what is going on in TM1 process anymore.

A snippet is a bloc of code which can be automatically generated. To add a snippet, just press Ctrl+Space in one of the TM1 process tab, and then type snippet or the name if you know what it is.

You should be able to see all TM1 instances available on the server where Arc is running.
