The Navigator is the primary way to select an item to view in the Forecast Report, Graph, and Override windows. It is also how you select the item you want to customize using the Forecasting tab. After the data have been read, the Navigator displays the available time series in a tree structure. The tree structure is defined by the hierarchy in your historic data files. Selecting an item on the Navigator will automatically display all relevant information in the open views.
The Navigator also features color-coded icons to allow you to spot items that contain overrides and/or comments. A red icon indicates that the item contains an override and/or comment. A green icon indicates that the item does not contain an override or comment. A yellow icon on a group indicates that at least one item further down that branch of the tree contains an override and/or comment. A light blue icon (applicable only if either Manual forecast or Manual override mode is selected on the Performance tab of the Options dialog box) indicates that an item’s forecast needs to be updated with the Recalculate icon on the Home tab. A dark blue icon (applicable only if Manual override or Manual override mode is selected on the Performance tab of the Options dialog box) indicates that an item’s override calculations need to be updated with the Recalculate icon on the Home tab.
The Navigator context menu provides extensive functionality for working with your data and the Hot List. Please see The Navigator Context Menu for details.
