Customizing your views of forecast tables

The tables summarize the information you entered throughout the forecast. This article describes some helpful features that these tables have in common.

Expanding and collapsing table rows

If a table row has items under it, an expand/collapse arrow will appear next to it. Just click the arrow to see the related entries underneath:

expand

Reordering items in List View

After you've added items to the forecast — revenue streams, direct costs, expenses, etc. — you can change the order in which they appear in the list. To move a row, just click on the drag control to the left of its name and drag it to the new position:

Reordering items in Table View

After you've added items to the forecast — revenue streams, direct costs, expenses, etc. — you can change the order in which they appear in the table. To move a row, just click on the drag control to the left of its name and drag it to the new position:

reorder

A horizontal line between the rows will show the new position, and a tooltip will show the name of the item you're moving.

Note that you can only move an item within its assigned group of rows. For example, a revenue stream on the Profit & Loss statement can be moved within the set of revenue streams, but not into the set of direct costs.

Showing monthly detail

The Monthly Detail toggle allows you to choose whether you see annual columns or monthly columns in your forecast tables. This toggle is disabled by default, but you can enable it by clicking the switch. Whatever setting you choose will be applied across all of your forecast tables, and that setting will be saved for you until you change it again.

For example, the revenue table shows only annual columns when Monthly Detail is OFF

revenue

With Monthly Detail set to ON, the table shows monthly columns: 

revenue
