EMO:Selecting the Date Range for the Forecast

Purpose

Each Forecast Definition must be associated with an Effective Date Range. The Forecast output will contain data for each Trading Period specified in the Effective Date Range.

NOTE: It is possible to create 'forecasts' for historical as well as future dates.

Usage

>> To specify the Effective Date Range:

1. With the date range selector panel on the Forecast Definition Window use the Date Selector to specify the date on which the Forecast will start
2. Use the Trading Period selector to specify the starting Trading Period for the forecast
3. Specify how many Trading Periods (from and include the starting period) you would like the Forecast to cover

NOTES:

1. EMarketOffer uses the Effective Date Range as the default range for loading input data into the Forecast Definition from database or file.
2. The Forecast Definition works with a single week (seven-days) of input data, Forecasts covering more that 336 periods (seven-days) will re-cycle Demand and Offer data.
