An analysis with PlanWise consists of the following main steps:

2.Import data (stand register, plus optionally a forest map och treatment proposals). Alternatively, you can import data from the Forest Management Planning Package.
3.Select the TPG-Settings window tab.
4.Classify the forest into forest domains so that different settings and management directives can be assigned to different forest types and management classes.
5.Enter a pricelist if you do not want to use the one shipped with the installation.
6.Create control categories for each of the forest domains.
7.Link at least one control category to each forest domain.
8.Let the program simulate treatement program alternatives for each stand.
9.When the simulation is done you can inspect the treatment programs generated for each stand.
10.Proceed to the optimization to let the program select an alternative for each stand, to best meet the goals and constraints you state for the forest.
11.Study the result with the report builder and the map viewer.
12.If you prefer, you can copy the results from table views and paste them in for example Excel. Results can be obtained both for stand- and forest level.
