# Scenario

> Create, manage, and promote demand scenarios to primary execution plans.

A scenario combines a supply plan with one or more demand event versions so you can model a possible future and compare it against other plans.

## Create a future demand planning scenario

Use a scenario to bring together one or multiple trade and marketing events.

On the demand planning page, click **+ Add New Scenario**.

## Select a scenario as the primary scenario

<Note>
  Making a scenario primary converts it into the plan that the entire business uses as its reference.
</Note>

First, make sure the scenario is displayed on the main page. See the section on selecting datasets to display as data series.

Next, click the menu icon and select **Make Primary**. When the scenario is set as the execution plan, a **Primary** symbol appears next to it.
