Displaying Data as Current Data

How to:

The measure data displayed in your PMF views can be “ghosted-in” to display values from a previously loaded period. This functionality enables you to carry previous data values forward into the current period until the actual current data is available. PMF marks the data with a special notation so users can distinguish between actual current data and data carried forward from a past load. This functionality is enabled globally by setting the Previous Period Forward setting to Y (Yes) in the Summarization panel on the Settings menu. To utilize previous period data in your views, you must select the Previous Period Moving Forward option for every measure for which you want to carry previous data values forward.

Procedure: How to Enable Previous Period Moving Forward for a Measure

To select the Previous Period Moving Forward option for a measure, perform the following steps:

  1. In the Manage or Author page, navigate to the Measure tree and click the measure that you want to configure.

    The Edit Measure panel opens.

  2. Select the Previous Period Moving Fwd check box.
  3. Click Save.

After activating this functionality for a measure, PMF automatically creates the forward moving data for each actual and target every time you load the measure. The data will begin displaying in reports and views immediately after the next measure load for that measure.
