AUTOFORECAST

The AUTOFORECAST script function calculates forecast data for future activities. AutoForecasts provide information about tasks that are scheduled to run within a specified timeframe. While you can trigger forecasts manually from the Automic Web Interface, this script function programmatically generates forecasts for all active Schedules and Events.

Notes:

This function returns forecast data specifically for the Client where the script runs.
Using this script element automatically writes all open script transactions to the AE database. For more information, see Script Processing.

Important! Your system must be configured to support AutoForecasts before using this function. For more information, see Autoforecast.
