Forecasting is not a default feature you will need to consult customer success to activate this feature.

Open a Project then select Forecasting from the section menu


Baseline

Before you can set the baseline ensure that the start and end date is added for each work package, you will not be able to create your baseline without this.

Select the baseline resource you want to set. It will (by default) open the labour baseline

Allocate a user to the resource by selecting the pen icon

Only users with a discipline and grade assigned can available for selection

Note: the user will still need to be assigned to resources to be able to book their time

Select the hours to be allocated for the user resource (double click the cell)

When assigning hours to weeks you have 2 options, either using the wand you can automatically populate the hours according to the S-Curve selected at the proposal stage.
