What is a forecast snapshot?
A Forecast Snapshot is a saved version of the automatically generated continuous forecast captured on a specific day. These forecasts are updated nightly with refreshed predicted values, and snapshots allow you to view what the forecast looked like at a particular point in time. This makes it possible to compare past versions of the forecast with the current one and evaluate how predictions have changed over time. Forecast Snapshots reflect only system-predicted values and do not include any manual modifications. For example, if you view a snapshot from one week ago, it shows the forecast exactly as it was generated then. While snapshots cannot be used for scheduling or capacity planning, they are valuable for comparing with historical actuals to assess accuracy and forecast trends. You can also customize the color of each snapshot line on the chart by clicking the colored circle next to the snapshot name and selecting a new color from the palette.
