Services Forecast Reporting Intermediate Processing

If the Services Forecast Live and Services Forecast Plans datasets have been created in PSA, the following recipes generate the Services Forecast Reporting dataset:

• PS Cloud Core Analytics App Initialize Services Forecast Reporting

• PS Cloud Core Analytics App Services Forecast Reporting

• PS Cloud Core Analytics App Snapshot Services Forecast Plans

Notes:

• The PS Cloud Core Analytics App Initialize Services Forecast Reporting recipe runs automatically the first time the Services Forecast Reporting dataset is created. You must not schedule or run the recipe manually because this will result in the dataset being cleared of data.
• We recommend scheduling the PS Cloud Core Analytics App Services Forecast Reporting recipe to run every night, or as frequently as you want to pull new WorkGrid data into the dataset.
• We recommend running the PS Cloud Core Analytics App Snapshot Services Forecast Plans recipe only when you want to save a completed forecast, such as to stop it from being changed or to date stamp it.

You can access the recipes from the Data Manager Lightning app in your org. This enables you to view all the recipes' nodes and see a preview of the data at each stage of each recipe using Salesforce's Data Prep feature. For more information about the Data Prep feature, see the Salesforce Help.

Warning:

We recommend that you never modify the PS Cloud Core Analytics App Services Forecast Reporting recipe. This might cause dashboards, lenses, and other recipes to stop working. In addition, any changes that you make to a recipe are lost when you upgrade or reconfigure the app.
