Use the Change Forecast dialog box to define the range of calendar period columns you want to display in the Resource View grid.
The forecast range determines the number of calendar period columns and the time frame each calendar period column represents.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Scale
|
Select whether you want the calendar period columns to represent days, weeks, or months.
|
| Duration
|
Select the number of calendar period columns to include for the forecast range. Each calendar period column contains planning data for one day, week, or month, based on what you selected in the
Scale field. For example, if you select
Weeks in
Scale and select
8 in
Duration, eight columns display. Each column contains planning data for one week. The options available in the
Duration field vary depending on the scale you selected.
|
| Start Date/Week/Month
|
Based on what you entered in the
Scale field, select the first day, week, or month in the forecast range.
The starting period must be after the JTD date, or if the columns are for weeks or months, the starting period must contain at least one day after the JTD date. After you select the original start day, week, or month, the forecast range automatically shifts forward as time passes. When the first calendar period is no longer in the future, the first calendar period column changes to the next day, week, or month and other calendar period columns shift accordingly to preserve the same forecast range.
