Forecasting dashboard
The dashboard is the weekly review surface: how the plan looks, how it performed, and where it missed.
Page: Forecasting -> Dashboard (/forecasting/dashboard)
Open it
- Click Forecasting -> Dashboard.
- The most recently published forecast week loads, with the week range in the header, arrows to move between weeks, and a location filter at the top right.
KPI cards
