Reserved Model Names

SAS Visual Forecasting uses the following keywords in the names of the automatically generated models:

• TOP
• LEAF
• HPF
• ESMBEST
• IDMBEST
• _MEAN_
• _ZERO_
• _INACTIVE_

You cannot create a model with these exact names, like TOP, but you can create a model with a name that includes these strings, for example, TOPONE.

System generated models start with the string DIAG. The string PREDECESSOR is used to designate the models preceding the Interactive Modeling node. To prevent any conflicts, you cannot create a custom model that starts with DIAG or PREDECESSOR in the name.
