The Forecast Accuracy chart compares a selected forecast metric against actual data for a single location (or location group) across an entire year. Note: Forecasts are managed on the Forecast Entry page in the Forecasts module.
Chart Usage
Similar to the Metric vs Forecast Trend 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.
