    Percent of Quota
    The total value of won opportunities divided by the quota total.
    Pipeline Potential
    • Weighted: The sum of all opportunity weighted potential revenue. Weighted potential values are calculated by multiplying the potential revenue of the opportunity by the probability that the opportunity is closed.
    • Average: The sum of the minimum weighted potential and the maximum potential, divided by two.
    • Potential: The sum of all opportunity potential values assuming a 100% close rate.
    Total Potential (Potential and Actual)
    • Minimum: The sum of all opportunity weighted potential revenue, plus the Closed-Won amount.

      Weighted potential values are calculated by multiplying the potential revenue of the opportunity by the probability that the opportunity closes.

    • Average: The sum of the minimum weighted potential and the maximum potential, divided by two, plus the Closed-Won amount.
    • Maximum: The sum of all opportunity potential values assuming a 100% close rate, plus the Closed-Won amount.
  4. Click Set as Forecast Amount next to any of total values to copy the value to the forecast Amount field in the upper details section of the Forecast detail view.
