Change the Forecast Range for a Resource Management Report

Use the Change Forecast Range dialog box to specify the range of time periods included on the report. If you display calendar periods on the report, the forecast range settings also determine the number of calendar period columns, the length (day, week, or month) of each period, and the starting period.

To change the forecast range:

1. In the Navigation pane, select Resource Management > Reporting.
2. At the top right of the Reporting form, click next to Forecast Range.
3. In the Change Forecast Range dialog box, select any or all of the following options:
   • In Scale, select an option to indicate whether you want the calendar period columns to represent days, weeks, or months.
   • In Duration, select the number of forecast range periods. For example, if you select Weeks in Scale and 8 in Duration, the report includes eight weeks of planning data, and if you set up the report to display calendar period columns, the report displays eight period columns, each containing planning data for a week. The duration options vary depending on the scale you selected. (To display calendar period columns, you must also include Forecast Range among the columns selected for the report.)
   • In Start Date/Week/Month, click to select the first day, week or month in the forecast range. Note that for the forecast range in Resource Management Reporting, you can select a start date from any time prior to the ETC date and JTD date.

     DPS automatically shifts the forecast range forward as time passes. When the first calendar period is no longer in the future, DPS changes the first calendar period column to the next day, week, or month and shifts the other calendar period columns accordingly to preserve the same forecast range.

4. Click Change.

   DPS refreshes the report based on the new forecast period settings.
