Creating Rolling Forecasts
Note:
Only Service Administrators can create and work with rolling forecasts. This includes the ability to see the rolling forecast option when designing a form, the ability to move a rolling forecast from the user interface, and the ability to delete or modify substitution variables.
To design a form for a rolling forecast:
Note:
-
Substitution variables are based on the periods selected for the Start Year and Start Period.
-
When designing a form, if the Rolling Forecast Setup dialog box is brought up from a row or column with the Year and Level 0 time period selected (for example,FY12/Jan), the Start Year and Start Period are automatically filled in. Values are not automatically filled in if members in the column are selected using functions, variables, or non-level-0 members.
-
To reuse the rolling forecast variables in a different form, right-click the column header in the new form to invoke the Member Selector.
