Forecast management

The main Investigate > Forecasts page can be used to access forecasts after they are created and includes the following details for each forecast:

• ID number assigned to the forecast

• Forecast name/filename

• Name of the report used for the forecast (click to re-run)

• Forecast creator

• Current status of the forecast (Initializing -> Starting -> Data Retrieval -> Processing -> Strategy Selection -> Learning -> Prediction -> Complete)

• Timestamp when the forecast became ready to view

Note

In some cases, it may take up to several minutes for the Forecasting task to progress from Initializing to Complete.

Updating forecasts

Clicking the refresh icon reinitializes the forecast using the most up-to-date dataset for the base report’s time window/range settings.

Note

Forecasts based on reports with a custom date and time range (i.e., not Last X) can also be refreshed but will result in the same projections. To obtain an updated forecast, re-run the report with adjusted date and time settings, and then generate a new forecast.

Deleting Forecasts

To delete one or more forecasts, select the forecasts using the checkboxes and then click the Delete button to permanently delete them.
