Add activities

The Activity Forecast feature allows you to simulate demand by configuring various types of tasks.

You can create forecasts based on either:

  • Real activities and operations already present in the system.

  • Simulated activities

A significant advantage of using activity forecasts is their complete independence from actual activities and work-orders data. This means any adjustments or edits made within the forecast simulation will not impact the live operational data in your system.
