When 30-minute forecasts are enabled, the 'Day View' can be switched between 'Hour' and '30 Min' sub-views on the left-hand side, above the projected sales forecast. Forecasts can be adjusted at either level. Adjustments made at the hour level are distributed to the 30-minute level, weighted by the historical sales for each increment.

15-Minute Forecasts
When 15-minute forecasts are enabled, the 'Day View' can be switched between 'Hour', '30 Min', and '15 Min' sub-views on the left-hand side, above the projected sales forecast. Forecasts can be adjusted at all levels. Adjustments made at the hour or 30-minute level are distributed to the 15-minute level, weighted by the historical sales for each increment.
When '15 Min' is selected, the day's forecast is displayed per 15-minute increment.
