Your Default View

When you first log in, you’ll land on the Monthly Insights page. This provides a high-level view of forecast accuracy across regions for the most recent completed month.

Global Filters

Most screens share a common filter bar at the top of the page. These filters let you control:

1. Month – Select the observation month using the calendar picker or arrow buttons
2. Days Out – Choose the forecast lead time (e.g., Days 1-3, Days 4-6, or individual days)
3. Location – Filter by region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East)
4. Market – Select your competitive market segment

These filters persist as you navigate between screens, so you can maintain context while exploring different views.

We recommend starting with Understanding Markets and Filters to learn how market segments affect your benchmarking data, then exploring Monthly Insights for your first accuracy review.
