The Daily Forecast Accuracy chart compares a selected forecast metric against actual data for a single location (or location group) across an entire week. Note: Forecasts are managed on the Forecast Entry page in the Forecasts module. Additionally, this chart supports the use of chart notes (denoted by a star-shaped data marker).
Chart Usage
Similar to the Forecast Accuracy chart, this chart can be used to review a location’s performance by viewing the variance between forecasted data (such as sales or labor percent) and the actual data.
