Field Description
Scale Select whether you want the calendar periods to be days, weeks, or months.
Duration Select the number of calendar periods to include in 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, the forecast range spans eight weeks, and eight calendar period columns display. Each calendar period 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.
