Clone a forecast

Clone a forecast to reuse a working configuration without starting from scratch. Common use cases include:

  • Setting up the next quarter's forecast with the same columns, hierarchy, and permissions as this quarter
  • Creating a "what-if" version with different quotas to model scenarios
  • Testing configuration changes without affecting your active forecast

After cloning, you can edit the forecast name, hierarchy, columns, quotas, permissions, or any other setting. The clone is completely independent from the original — changes to one don't affect the other. Once you're satisfied with the changes, activate the cloned forecast.
