# Manage Forecasts

The *Forecast Engine* list displays every configured forecast and provides controls for activation, editing, deletion, filtering, and visualization.

## Activate or Pause Forecasts

* Click on **\[5]** to pause or activate all forecasts.
* Click on **\[7]** to pause or activate one forecast.

Pausing a forecast stops its forecast updates until it is activated again.

## Find and Open Forecasts

1. Click on **\[6]** to open the filter sidebar.
2. Apply the required filter criteria.\
   ▷ The list shows the matching forecasts.
3. To open the asset associated with a forecast, click on **\[8]** and select the asset navigation action.

## Visualize Configured Forecast Attributes

A configured forecast creates an attribute on its selected asset. To visualize it, open [*Insight Analytics*](/collection/platform/insight-analytics.md) and select the generated forecast attribute in the asset tree, just as you would select any other attribute.

You can select the measured source attribute and several forecast attributes together. For example, compare the measured energy consumption with its 10th-, 50th-, and 90th-percentile forecast attributes to display the expected range.

For the general visual treatment of future data in line and bar charts, see [Future data in charts](/collection/platform/insight-analytics/the-insight-analytics-interface/chart.md#future-data).

This normal attribute visualization is separate from the [*Single forecast* analytic type](/collection/platform/platform-core/baseline-and-factors/forecast-engine/single-forecast-analytic-type.md), which calculates a temporary forecast directly in a chart.

### Identify Forecast Attributes

Attributes created by the *Forecast Engine* are marked with an arrow icon. You can identify the generated forecast attributes in both *Asset Details* and the analytic list.

## Edit or Delete a Forecast

* Click on **\[10]** to edit a forecast.
* Click on **\[9]** to delete a forecast.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting a forecast removes its configuration. Confirm that rules, widgets, or other workflows no longer depend on its generated attribute before deleting it.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/platform/platform-core/baseline-and-factors/forecast-engine/manage-forecasts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
