Job Setup

The Job Setup page, also referred to as Model Setup, is the screen where users create, view, and manage forecasting jobs and their results.

After uploading a file in Data Management, use Job Setup to generate a forecast based on that file.

The page contains two main sections: Create New Job and Job Executions.

Create New Job

Use this section to create a new job. Complete the following fields:

Select File. Choose the uploaded file to use as the Data Source.

  The Forecast Horizon cannot exceed one year based on the selected data frequency.
  This element appears on the right side of "Select File".
