Select a forecasting template

Select a template to define how a forecast structures your organization's data and projections. If you prefer to create a forecast based on your own rollup and hierarchy entities, select Create from scratch instead.

Select a template

The fastest way to create a forecast is to use a template. The template that you select defines how the forecast groups data.

On the Forecast configurations page, select one of the following templates:

  • Org chart forecast: Rollup columns and projections are based on your organization's reporting structure. This template uses the Manager field of the User entity for the hierarchy.
  • Product forecast: Rollup columns and projections are based on the product hierarchy.
  • Territory forecast: Rollup columns and projections are based on the sales territory hierarchy.
