Duplicate a calendar - Resource Forecast

The Resource Forecast feature allows you to simulate available capacity by configuring various types of work shifts.

You can create forecasts based on either:

  • Actual resources and calendars already defined in the system.

  • Simulated resources and calendars for hypothetical scenarios.

In a massive simulation, a calendar duplication helps to create same calendars on more resources in a single step.

A significant advantage of using resource forecasts is their complete independence from actual resource and calendar 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 Resource Forecast

  2. Configure at least one resource: Add and edit resources

  3. Configure at least one calendar on a resource: Add a calendar

Duplicate a calendar

  1. In the FSM App, navigate to FEATURES → FORECASTING & CAPACITY PLANNING → RESOURCE FORECAST

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

  3. Clicking the option button related to the Resource Forecast, going on “Detail” option the configuration page will be showed as a calendar view.

  4. Clicking the option button of a single resource, the “Duplicate calendar” button allows to duplicate a calendar from a resource to other resources.

All target calendars will be totally replaced by the source calendar.
