Forecast standards

Forecasting uses forecast standards to establish the space standards to use for a set of demand drivers. The data that is contained within the forecast standards are treated as overrides to the global demand driver configurations for values that include space standard.

These forecast standards are applied to space forecast surveys and their respective line items and are typically configured by organization.

A typical use of forecast standards is by companies that have different space class standards for different locales. Such a company would establish forecast standards for each locale, for example, for the United States, for Europe, and for Asia Pacific.
