Specify the Analysis Period

The Ad Hoc Data Discovery tab uses the same analysis period and analysis date as the Current Pipeline does. The default analysis period is automatically set to include all opportunities in the current pipeline.

If you use the calendar bars across the top of the tab to change the analysis period reflected in the table, Capture Analytics recalculates pipeline amounts based on the new set of opportunities with analysis dates in the modified analysis period.

Any change you make to the analysis period on either the Ad Hoc Data Discovery tab or the Current Pipeline tab is also applied to the other tab. However, no other analytic tabs are affected.

The field your firm uses for the analysis date is displayed next to Calendar Based On in the upper-left corner of the Current Pipeline tab.
