Add Comments to a Forecast

Use the Comments window to add comments to a forecast scenario. For example, you might want to add a comment after making manual changes to a scenario, so that you can keep a record of the changes.

You can add comments only for an activity, not for a site. A Forecast scenario activity can have numerous comments, including a new comment for each day.

See the following sections:

• Adding comments to a forecast scenario.
• Editing existing comments.
• Deleting existing comments.

Adding Comments to a Forecast Scenario

2. In the Comments window that appears, click New at the upper right.
   The lower panel's label changes to New comment.
3. Adjust the Comment date, using the date-selection controls.
   By default, the start date of the forecast appears.
   Tip

   You cannot select a date outside the forecast scenario's date range. If you try to make more than one comment per date, an error message alerts you to either select a different date or edit (or delete) that date's existing comment.
4. Type your comments into the large text box at the bottom left.
5. Click Apply to add your comment to the upper list, or Cancel to discard it.
