Configure Projected Predictions

Einstein Discovery allows you to provide trending data for numeric variables that factor into your predictions to make them more accurate. For example, you predict opportunity win/loss based on expected price fluctuations for raw materials. To factor price into your predicted outcome, use the Projected Predictions transformation and provide a dataset that projects the expected price for raw materials on the close date.

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.
