Retain "Show Hierarchy" setting when switching between "Summary" and "Details" on Forecast tab

Updating monthly amounts in the Forecast

When you hit the pencil to edit a forecast and then type your information into the month you want to change, the total doesnt change until after you close out. Can it instead update immediately so that you can see your new total. This is especiall...
