What do I copy to Live forecast?
You can sync your current Live room forecast with last year’s data, the budget, or the most recent forecast you submitted. To do this, click “Copy to Live forecast” in the Tools menu of the Live forecast module. You will then have the option to choose the source you want to copy from to update your Rooms Live forecast. The PMI algorithm will automatically break down the monthly figures into daily values by segments.
