HS: How to Reapply a Forecast

Overview

Reapplying a forecast recalculates an existing forecast using updated information, such as changes to historical data, forecast adjustments, or labor rules.

You can reapply a forecast without changing the historical weeks currently selected.

Reapply a Forecast

1. In HotSchedules, select the Forecasting tab.
2. Open the week containing the forecast you want to recalculate.
3. In Weeks Used in Forecast, select the edit/pencil icon next to Current Week Selection.

4. The Week Selections window displays the historical weeks currently being used for the forecast.

   If you do not need to change the selected weeks, leave the current selections as they are.

5. Select Apply Weeks.

   HotSchedules recalculates the forecast using the selected weeks and any applicable changes made since the forecast was last generated.

   

6. Review the updated forecast.
7. Select Save Forecast to save the recalculated forecast.

Changing the Weeks Used in the Forecast

If you want to recalculate the forecast using different historical data, you can also update the weeks selected in the Week Selections window before selecting Apply Weeks.
