Forecast Pro TRAC only
Click on the Forecast vs. Archive icon on the Reports tab to open the Forecast vs. Archive report. The Forecasts vs. Archive report compares the current forecast to previously generated forecasts.
The above report compares the current forecast against the forecast we made last month (Previous Forecast 1). In the Comparison section, the left drop-down allows you to select which of the current forecasts to consider (Forecast, Baseline or Statistical) and the right drop-down allows you to select which previous forecast(s) you want to compare to. Note that you may choose multiple previous forecasts for comparison.
The Forecast periods to consider section allows you to set the number of forecast periods to monitor and to specify if you want to look at each individual period or at the cumulative total across the specified forecast periods. The default setting (cumulative is not checked) monitors all forecast periods individually.
The Include section allows you to specify which statistics you want to show in the report. By default, the report shows Deviation and Percent deviation. If you have included filters in the project (see Custom Filter Fields in Setting Up Your Optional Data), you may add those to the report using the Filter drop-down.
