Take a tour of Budgets & Forecasts

Supporting documentation

Access the budget and your tasks

Learn about your role as a workflow contributor. As a budget or forecast contributor, you're responsible for completing assigned tasks, such as entering and editing values in specific rows of the worksheet.

Supporting documentation

Change the grid layout

Adjust the standard view of a budget or forecast worksheet to fit your analysis and reporting needs. Depending on your access, some rows may be hidden, but you can still tailor the layout in several ways to suit your preferences.

Supporting documentation

Filter the data

Learn how to customize your view by filtering out rows you don’t need, so you can focus on what matters. Filters are for viewing only, so they don’t affect the publishing process. The full budget or forecast will still be published.
