Forecast Analysis Tab
The Forecast Analysis tab displays past, current, and forecasted room and reservation data. This is a comprehensive and dynamic screen, helping you better view and understand your property's business. The summarized data can be divided and dissected (sliced and diced) allowing you to see the information from different perspectives. The Forecast Analysis tab presents on-the-books and forecasted data in graphs and grids, providing filters for your specified views. All data can be viewed by Yield Category and Booking Class. You can also view the data segmented by groupings of market codes, source codes, channel codes and rate categories, depending on the graph selected. The groupings of market codes, source codes, channel codes and rate categories presented here were defined in Configuration Tab Forecast Groups.
