Generating Forecast Data for a Project

Typically, a scheduled process runs periodically to generate services forecast data for all eligible records, including projects. However, if you cannot wait until the next scheduled execution, you can run the process manually to generate data for a specific project. In addition, you might want to run the process manually for an inactive project because the scheduled process ignores inactive projects.

To generate forecast data for a project:

  1. From the Projects tab, open the project you want to generate forecast data for.
  2. Click Actions | Services Forecasting | Run Services Forecast.
  3. Click Close. The process to generate forecast data runs in the background. However, additional processes must run before the data is available in existing forecasts or new forecasts are created. For more information, see Services Forecasting Scheduled Processes.
