 👍 Tip: If you can export this information from a source system (P6 for example) you're able to do so


Today And Following Days

When toggled on the imported forecast will start today and record into the future

When toggled off the imported forecast will start from the first date on the CSV


Smoothing

When enabled RIVET will average the highs and lows of the imported forecast while retaining the number of total workers

When disabled RIVET will still round to the nearest whole number of workers but will not smooth the imported forecast


Fine Tune

💡 Note: The Fine Tune feature is only available if "Smoothing" is toggled on.

The Fine Tune tool allows you to smooth our rigid jumps in hours in your labor curve

The higher the number on the slider, the more rounding RIVET will apply to the labor curve
