  • Available to beta participants

Revenue Intelligence | Forecasting allows you to model, compare, and evaluate revenue outcomes using multiple forecasting approaches. View forecasts from different perspectives, track accuracy over time, and understand how deal updates influence projected revenue.

Admins can configure forecast models within Revenue Intelligence settings.

Customize the view

Use any of the following options to control which deals appear in the views.

Toggle pipelines

A pipeline is a defined set of deals configured by your admin in Revenue Intelligence settings.  If more than one pipeline is available, use the pipeline toggle to switch between pipelines and control which group of deals are included.

Toggle time periods


Admins can define the starting month of the fiscal year in Revenue Intelligence settings. Once configured, Catalyst provides quick filters for switching between time periods, including:

  • Current quarter (e.g., FY26 Q4)
  • Current fiscal year (e.g., FY26)
  • Other: Select another time period by one of the following breakdowns:
    • Previous fiscal year (e.g., February 1 - January 31)
    • Quarters (e.g., February 1 - April 30)
    • Halves (e.g., February 1 - July 31)

Apply custom filters with advanced logic

Use advanced filter logic to set custom conditions for which deals are included.

Toggle between all forecast models or individual model

Use the toggle on the right side of the view to switch between all forecast models or an individual model. The modules displayed vary based on your selection.

Click inside individual tiles to view related records. Click back to return to the All Forecasting Models view (see above).

Set locked forecast call

Within a forecast model, set a locked forecast call to capture a fixed, point-in-time forecasted amount as the official record for the period. 

Once a forecast call is locked, you can continue to adjust forecast values, but you cannot "unlock" the call. Locking a forecast call creates an audit trail.

  1. From within Revenue Intelligence, open the Forecasting view.
  2. Click into view an individual model.
  3. Customize the view to control which deals / time period for which you want to set a locked call.
  4. From the Locked Forecast Call card (or Ellipses button to the right of the view), click Set Locked Forecast Call.
  5. In the Locked Forecast Call window, enter a call value or set to current forecast call value.
  6. Click Save.

    The card within the view shows the Locked Forecast amount with date last edited.
  7. To adjust the locked forecast amount or view the audit trail, click the edit button on the card.

You can also edit forecasts or set forecasts from the Ellipses (...) at the top of the forecast. If you've chosen to hide the locked forecast tile, you can use any of the Ellipses options to return the tile to the view.
