Forecasting using the URG
Forecasting reports are driven by two values within jobs:
1. Probable Close Date and
2. Probable Close Date.
Both of these values can be edited by opening an estimate and going to the Forecasting tab.
Additionally, be sure to review your Forecasting Settings. Tools -> Program Options -> Forecasting
Using the URG to Forecast is pretty straight forward.
1. Open the URG
2. Select the user you are reporting on
3. Make sure the Date Range is set correctly
4. Click on the Forecast 30, 60, 90 buttons. The function of each of them is described below.
