Accessing Demand Calendar in BigTime Foresight
The Demand Calendar window gives you a bird's eye view of your demand schedule and projects’ needs. Demands are a method of forecasting future work based on what you know needs to be done and the type of staffer who needs to do it. Later, you can add specific staffers to your demand and use it to create an actual assignment. You can access the DEMAND CALENDAR from BigTime by opening Foresight, clicking the CALENDAR tab in your navigation sidebar, and then clicking DEMAND CALENDAR.
You can access the DEMAND CALENDAR in the PROJECTS tab as well:
Setting up the Demand Calendar
You have many options when it comes to customizing your Demand Calendar view. You can set filters only to display certain data types or change the date range you’d like to see. When configuring your Demand Calendar, you can:
1. Choose the type of demand you want to see:
2. Choose data granulation:
3. Choose filters (MAGNIFYING GLASS icon on the left).
Using Filters
