Overview

The Predictive Planning feature of Planning is an extension to Oracle Smart View for Office that works with valid Planning forms to predict performance based on historical data. Predictive Planning uses sophisticated time-series forecasting techniques to create new predictions or validate existing forecasts that were entered into Planning using other forecasting methods.

Notes about working with Predictive Planning:

  • Predictive Planning is currently available in 32-bit and 64-bit implementations.

  • Valid ad hoc grids are supported. For details, see Predictive Planning for Users of Ad Hoc Grids.

  • Predictive Planning supports sandbox versions for forms and adhoc grids. Historical data is read from the same sandbox that the form or adhoc grid is using.

  • Users with security roles that enable them to modify Planning forms should read Setting Up Predictive Planning in this Guide to ensure that forms are configured for maximum compatibility.
