To make sure your schedules reflect the current demand, do a quick visual check in the Labor Cockpit:

What to Look For:

  • Blue bars: Represent scheduled hours.
  • Yellow line: Indicates the SMART Forecast, which is system-generated based on targets and cost drivers.
  • Green dashed line: Marks the Scheduled Horizon, showing how far ahead scheduling is active

Your scheduled hours (blue bars) should closely follow the yellow SMART Forecast line. If they’re significantly above or below, it may indicate over- or under-scheduling.

Where to Check:

  1. Go to the Labor Cockpit
  2. Select the correct department and date range
  3. Compare the visual graph — especially just beyond the green dashed line

Tip: If the SMART Forecast seems off, click the forecast icon to review the SMART and Management Forecast values.
