Forecast by using cube view data

Initially, when the forecast preview is run, the data in TM1 is used as the historical data regardless of what is presented in the cube view. The reason for that was to include more history in the prediction, which results in higher accuracy. In SC60, a new option is added that allows you to choose whether to use the data in TM1 or the current cube view as the history.

In the Advanced tab in the Forecast window, you can select two options Use historical data in TM1 cube and Use historical data in Exploration View. The default is Use historical data in Exploration View.
