Increase the flexibility of baseline forecasts by allowing users to override default sets

And administrator or modeler can now set an option that enables users to override default forecast members and specify a custom scope when running a baseline forecast.

This makes baseline forecasts more flexible for users and simplifies maintenance for baseline forecast creators, who no longer need to create and maintain multiple forecasts with similar but varying scopes.

To enable users to override default forecast members and specify a custom scope, enable the Allow override option when you define the scope of a baseline forecast.

Allow override option for a baseline forecast

When a user runs a baseline forecast with the Allow override option enable, they can use the Override Forecast members option to pick an existing set or level for the forecast or open the set editor and define a new set.

End-user override option

Though the user specifies a set or level that differs from the default defined in the baseline forecast, the forecast definition remains unchanged. The custom selection is applied only at run time.
