To navigate to Lightning App Builder, from the forecasts page, select
Or access Lightning App Builder in Setup. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter
App Builder, and then select Lightning App
Builder. Click New, and then select Forecasts
Page.
Add the Forecasts Header component, which viewers of the page use to select what data shows
in other forecast-related parts of the page. We recommend that each forecasts page contains a
header.
Add the standard and custom components that you want to include on the page.
For the best experience, we recommend adding the Forecast Summary component to show the
actual forecast data for each period and the Forecast Opportunity List component to show the
opportunities that contribute to the forecast. If Einstein Forecasting is enabled, Einstein
predictions show in a slide-out panel when users select a cell in the Einstein Prediction
column on the forecasts page. No additional components are necessary to show Einstein Forecasts
predictions.
For each component you add to the page, select the component and configure its individual
properties.
To view and edit the page properties and to add a page description, click the empty area of
the canvas and enter the information about your page.
Save the page.
Activate the page for the org, user profile, or an app.
