Tip
You can also access the 'Forecasting Views' page from a project's Budget tool. Click the ellipsis
icon in the top right corner while viewing the 'Forecasting' tab, and select Configure Forecasting Views from the drop-down menu.
In the 'Forecasting Views' table, click Edit next to the desired forecasting view.
Update any of the following fields and settings:
Header & Setup Options
View Name. Change the name of the view.
Description. Add or update the view description.
Forecasting Column To Spread. Select which calculated column's value to spread out over the months you have assigned to each forecasting line item from the drop-down list.
Actuals Column. Select a column from the drop-down list to determine how actual costs are factored into your forecasting spread. Note
Selecting a column updates the formula for the Remaining to Spread column in the forecasting view on the Budget tool's Forecasting page as follows:
Remaining to Spread = Forecasting Column To Spread - Sum of the Spread Values - Actuals Column
For example, if you select Job to Date Costs, the formula subtracts your job-to-date costs alongside any allocated spread values from the total forecast amount to determine the remaining balance.
