Editing forecasted values for an analysis

You can import manual forecasted values coming from external flows (financial documents, marketing strategies) for any business driver Key Performance Indicators in BMC Helix Capacity Optimization. You can display measured values and manual forecasted values in the future and can compare measured values with manual forecasted values over the same time period. You can also compare manual forecasted values with values computed from time forecasting models over the same time period and with the same time resolution, for example, daily.

You can distinguish between measured values and forecasted values using different chart types and colors, making it easier to read the charts.

This tab is available only in the Advanced mode and only when future values are present.

    Warning

    Automatic time resolution-based analysis

    • When you base an analysis on an Automatic time resolution (on default values), the forecasted value field shows all forecasted statistics, at any time resolution. Hence, you will be unable to select two custom statistics with a different time resolution.
    • The custom statistic is considered first to evaluate the output resolution of the analysis. Therefore, the selection of the forecasted value will drive the time resolution of the analysis.
    • If you explicitly select a time resolution for which no forecasted statistics are available, but they are available for other time resolutions, the Forecasted values tab displays a message that tells you statistics are available for which particular time resolution. This way, you can adjust the time resolution to display custom future forecasts.
  5. Click Save or continue with statistic selection.
