Why are some numbers purple, blue, red or orange (amber) in the Live Forecast?

Live Forecast Color Legend (forecast table)

Note: This color legend applies only to the values shown in the Live Forecast table. Other views in PMI, such as Sense Check or alert panels, may use similar colors with different meanings.

Colors in the Live Forecast table help you quickly understand how a forecast value was created and whether it requires attention.

These colors apply to the values shown directly in the Live Forecast table and are not related to alert highlights used in other views (such as Sense Check).

Purple

Values shown in purple have been manually edited or overridden by a user.
This means the number differs from the system-generated forecast.

Blue

Blue numbers indicate that the forecast is constrained by capacity.
The system prediction may be higher, but the value is limited by the configured maximum available rooms or capacity.

Red

Red values appear when a saved value exceeds the defined capacity.
This warns that the number is higher than the available room inventory.

Orange / Amber (sometimes perceived as yellow)

Orange/amber values in the Live Forecast table indicate data quality, not capacity warnings.

Orange (amber) numbers mean that PMI does not have enough data to generate a reliable automatic forecast.

This can happen when:

  • historical data is limited
  • booking patterns are unclear
  • data imports are missing
  • the date is far in the future

When you see this color, the day should typically be reviewed and forecast manually.

Tip: If many days appear in orange, check that your data imports and historical data are complete, as missing or incomplete data can affect forecast accuracy.
