Note: The Highlight Threshold sets the value over which a variance or difference is highlighted in the table.
* Cells containing negative differences (i.e. consumption has fallen) are shaded green, positive differences are shaded red
* Cells containing negative variances (i.e. consumption is higher than forecast) are shaded red, positive differences are shaded green
Note: By default the tracker uses forecast data from a budget where one has been defined. In this case tracking takes place against
forecast data that is fixed over the time frame of the budget. If no budget has been defined, the tracker reports difference and
variance against system generated forecast data. Forecast data is periodically regenerated as new consumption data is received.
This means, where no budget has been fixed, subtle month by month changes in variance data may be noted (occurring mostly in the current quarter).
