Field	Description
SCALE	Click in this field and select an option to indicate whether you want the calendar period columns to represent days, weeks, or months.
DURATION	Click in this field and select the number of calendar period columns in the forecast range. For example, if you select Weeks in SCALE and 8 in DURATION, the grid displays eight columns, each containing planning data for a week. The duration options vary depending on the scale you selected.
START DATE/WEEK/MONTH	Click in this field and use the calendar to 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, Deltek Resource Planning automatically shifts the forecast range forward as time passes. When the first calendar period is no longer in the future, Deltek Resource Planning changes the first calendar period column to the next day, week, or month and shifts the other calendar period columns accordingly to preserve the same forecast range.
Change	To change the forecast range based on your entries, click Change.
Cancel	To close the dialog box without changing the forecast range, click Cancel.
