The Forecast page is where you estimate projected occupancy and other statistics. Completing the forecast is required before you can create a schedule.
Three ways to enter a forecast
To get started, you can enter the Rooms Occupied and Arrivals manually, import actuals from a previous week, or import a forecast template.
Enter manually – click the Rooms Occupied row, then update the Arrivals row. As each row is completed, the Departures and Stay Overs rows calculate automatically.
2. Import a forecast – click the Import Forecast button on the right of the page. You'll have the option to import the previous week or two weeks ago.
3. Save a template – enter the forecast manually as above, then click the triple-dot menu (...) at the top right and select Save as Template. Give the template a name so you can import it going forward.
The Forecast page updates to Actuals for prior days. A lock icon beside a date means that date is in the past and now shows the Actuals pulled from Accounting / Daily Activity. |
IF PRO TIP: You can create the forecast directly from the Schedule page. Instead of finishing it in Forecast and then moving to Schedule, go to the Schedule page first and complete it all in a few steps. |
