Business value
Enables supervisors to generate up-to-date forecasts during planning and operational reviews without waiting for scheduled runs. Improves agility, supports timely decisions, and ensures workforce plans are based on the latest data.
Feature details
Supervisors can run a forecast on demand by selecting Run forecast scenario from a forecast scenario. When triggered, the system starts a background job to generate the forecast for the current scenario. Forecast generation runs asynchronously and depends on data volume and configuration.
Supervisors can monitor progress in Job history. After the background job completes, updated forecast results are available in forecast reports and views. Completion of the forecast run also triggers a capacity planning job to refresh staffing requirements based on the latest forecast output.
This capability enables supervisors to refresh forecasts during planning or operational analysis without waiting for the next scheduled run.
