Specify the Analysis Period

Initially, the Pipeline Revenue Forecast Analytics display forecasted revenue for all months for which forecasted revenue currently exists. You can use the calendar bars across the top of the tab to select a more restricted analysis period.

If you make selections, Capture Analytics redisplays the analytics to reflect the new analysis period.

You can also change the analysis period by selecting bars directly on the Pipeline Revenue Forecast Spread chart.

Impact on Other Analytics

The analysis period that you select on the Pipeline Revenue Forecast tab only affects the analytics on that tab. Because each of the tabs in Capture Analytics has unique date filtering requirements, you set the analysis period for each tab separately.

Analysis Date

As part of Capture Analytics configuration, your system administrator specifies the date fields in opportunity records that you want Capture Analytics to use to determine the expected start and expected end of the contract for each opportunity. If that time range for an opportunity overlaps the analysis period you select on the Pipeline Revenue Forecast tab, Capture Analytics includes the monthly forecasted revenue for that opportunity in the amounts displayed on the Pipeline Revenue Forecast tab.

Those date fields are the analysis dates for the Pipeline Revenue Forecast tab. The fields your firm uses are displayed below Calendar Start and End Based On in the upper-left corner of the tab.
