Create Coverage scenario

The coverage scenario allows you to match activity forecasts and resource forecasts, and it is based on an optimized coverage algorithm, that optimizes the demand’s coverage and resources' usage.

The result is displayed on a reporting page, where the user can view the overall quality of the scenario, or explore it in detail by individual activities or months.
