Welcome to the View-Only section of the Forecast Help Center! This section has only information that’s relevant to your particular permission level, so you don’t need to browse through everything else.

How do I know whether I have View-Only permissions?

If you’re only in Forecast to see your team’s schedule but not create assignments for others, you most likely have View-Only permissions. If you want to make sure, check the top menu bar in your Forecast account. If your team name is present but there’s no option to Manage, then you have View-Only permissions.

What can I do with View-Only permissions?

As a View-Only teammate, you can sign in and see your company’s schedule. This includes all schedules across all projects and teammates, helping to keep project schedules open and transparent. You can also see notes associated with projects and assignments. You can read more about how to do all of this in the detailed articles listed to the right.
