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.
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.
A resource forecast’s status can be:
-
Draft
-
Fixed
-
Cancelled
Just created the status is “Draft”, after it’s possibile to cancel the forecast and the status becomes “Cancelled”, or it’s possibile to confirm it and the status becomes “Fixed”. Even if the status is Fixed, it’s possibile to delete the forecast and the status becomes “Cancelled”.
Only if the status is “Fixed” the forecast can be used in a Capacity Planning scenario.
