Forecast Pro TRAC only

Click on the Waterfall icon on the Reports tab to open the Waterfall report.

The Waterfall report provides a complete summary of forecast accuracy across a specified lead time. It doesn’t compare items and calculate deviations like the other exception reports. It simply allows you to list statistics from the waterfall reports in a global report that can be sorted and filtered to aid in your review process.

The Display section is used to define what to show in the report. The top drop-down (currently showing Forecast) is used to select which forecasts (Forecast, Baseline and/or Statistical) to include in the report. The drop-down below that is used to select which statistics (Avg. Error, Avg. Forecast and Avg. Perc. Error) to include as additional columns in the report. The Lead time spinner is used to select the lead time for the report. The bottom drop-down in the Display section lets you choose the analysis type (Series, End Item-level or Component). Please see The Tracking Report and Tracking Report Graph Views in this chapter for more details on lead times and analysis types.

The Include section allows you to specify additional columns to show in the report. If you have included filters in the project (see Custom Filter Fields ), you may add those to the report using the Filter drop-down.
