Viewing and Editing Forecast-Method Parameters

To view and edit a forecast-method parameter:

  1. Select Maintenance > Optional Modules > Labor Budgeting > Labor Budgeting Settings > Forecast Methods.
    The Forecast Methods page is displayed, listing the forecast methods and their parameters.
  2. Click Edit beside a forecast method.

    The Forecast Methods Detail page is displayed.

    The Parameters field displays the parameters for the forecast method. The parameters are separated by pipes (|). For descriptions of each parameter, see the other sections in this appendix.

  3. In the Parameters field, edit the parameter.
    For example, if you added an execution group to a new rule group, set the ruleGroupName parameter to the new rule group so that this forecast method will use this rule group.
    For an example modifying the refForecastLayoutName parameter, see Assigning a Layout To a Forecast.
  4. Click Save.

    Make sure to update any relevant rules. For example, if you change the default rule group for a forecast, update the Payroll Adjust Rule, Sales Percent Change and the Payroll Percent Leverage rules in the relevant execution group (on the Execution Groups Detail page) to reference next year's budget.
