Predictive Forecaster Scalability and Usability
Preview Date: 2026-02-07. Production Date: 2026-03-14.
With this release, we enhance the scalability and usability of Predictive Forecaster. We increase the system guardrails to support larger datasets, specifically distinguishing between forecast data and lever sheet data, and improve the user experience by providing detailed usage statistics for lever sheets.
Business Benefits
These enhancements enable you to:
- Scale your planning. Process significantly larger datasets and manage more forecast definitions within a single instance.
- Gain visibility. Understand exactly how your drivers impact your forecast with new lever sheet usage statistics on the history page.
Changes
Scalability and Performance
We increase the cell count guardrail to support larger planning models for:
- Forecast data. You can now process up to 10 million cells of forecast data.
- Lever sheet data. We now support a separate limit of up to 1 million cells specifically for lever sheet data.
We increase the default maximum number of forecasts per instance from 20 to 100. Instances currently set below 100 will be upgraded automatically.
User Experience and Error Handling
We add a new
Lever Sheet Summary
section to the Forecast History
page that displays lever sheet usage statistics. This summary lists information on matching and non-matching regressor rows to help you verify if your lever sheets are being applied as expected. When a forecast fails due to data issues, we now display the specific intersection information (account, level, and dimension) in the error message, enabling faster troubleshooting.
What Do I Need to Do?
You don't need to take any action to enable these features. The increase in forecast limits and cell counts will apply automatically.
What Happens if I do Nothing?
If you do nothing, you will automatically receive the increased limits and performance improvements. Your existing forecasts will continue to run as expected.
