NextGen FSM

Copy Activity Forecast

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

In a massive simulation, copy an activity forecast helps to duplicates activities and tasks in a single step, allowing to create different what-if scenarios, and apply changes without altering your original simulation.

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.

Before you start

  1. Create Activity Forecast

  2. Configure at least one activity: Add activities

  3. Add at least one timeframe: Add timeframes from Work Orders / Add simulated timeframes

Copy an Activity Forecast

  2. Use the filter panel to search for existing forecast records

  3. Click the check button of an Activity Forecast and go on “Copy” option

  4. Define code and description of new forecast.

The activity forecast will be totally copied and the status will be “Draft”.
