Like the chart preferences, forecast preferences can be set differently for each forecast chart.
To set forecast preferences:
Choose Preferences, then Forecast in a forecast chart’s menubar.
Click a tab and set preferences as required.
These tabs are also displayed in the expanded Define Forecast dialog. For details see the following sections:
Forecast Window Tab — Manages window display and distribution fitting for the forecast.
Precision Tab — Manages precision control settings.
Filter Tab — Discards values inside or outside a range for the current forecast.
Auto Extract Tab — Specifies which statistics to extract automatically to Microsoft Excel when a simulation stops.
Also see the previous section, Setting Forecast Preferences.
See "Confidence intervals" in the "Statistical Definitions" chapter of the online Oracle Crystal Ball Statistical Guide for more information about how absolute and relative precision relate to the confidence interval.
To reset forecast preference defaults to the original settings shipped with Crystal Ball, click Defaults.
To copy preferences to other forecasts, click Apply To.
You can specify whether to apply all forecast preferences or just the current tab and whether to apply them to the current Microsoft Excel sheet, all sheets in the workbook, or all open and new workbooks.
