Running a Forecast Version

Running a forecast executes the computation pipeline that produces your baseline forecast numbers. This is a separate step from configuring your version -- configuration is instant, but computation takes a few minutes.

• Open the Forecast Version document (see Configuring a Forecast Version for what must be set first)
• Click the Play button (triangle icon) in the upper-right toolbar
• The status badge will change from "Draft" to "Running" and show progress through two stages: data cleaning, then forecasting
• When complete, the status changes to "Ready" and you can view results in charts and tables

Important: Your data sources must be fully ingested (status "Active") before you can run. If any source is still processing, the run button will be disabled.

• After changing the version's date range or training period
• After connecting new or updated data sources
• You can re-run as many times as needed while the version is unlocked

What "Ready" means: Your forecast results are computed and available for review. To make this run the version's official baseline — which is what enables overlays and exports — lock it.

Run or cancel through the assistant

In Agent mode, ask to run a named version using its saved configuration, then review Allow/Deny. A locked version must be explicitly unlocked before rerunning. If you also requested configuration changes, those must save successfully before the run is proposed.

The response identifies the accepted run; acceptance does not mean completion. Chat observes that run while mounted, even with its version page closed. Reopening chat resumes the existing status handling; closing every observing page adds no background continuation guarantee. You can ask to cancel the specific run; cancellation requests do not guarantee it has already stopped. Running never implicitly locks the result.
