Defining the Model Duration

Before the wizard divides time structures into weeks or months, select the number of years and historical years in the model. After you complete the wizard, the time structure is generated and applied to the model.

To specify the model duration:

1. In Total number of years in model, enter the number of years in the model, including previous and forecasted years.
2. In Number of historical years in model, enter the number of previous years to include in the model. Specify at least one year.
3. Click Next.
