# How To Schedule A Reforecast

## Objective

Set a recurring schedule that regenerates demand using rolling training and forecast windows.

## Environment

- You have permission to manage forecasts.
- The forecast was generated from historical data and has at least one completed baseline run. Uploaded forecasts cannot be reforecasted.

## Resolution

1. Open the generated forecast and select **Reforecast**. In **Automatic schedule**, select **Schedule automatic runs**. If a schedule already exists, select **Edit**.
2. In **Run mode**, select **Run automatically**. Choose a **Frequency** and **Run time**. The run time uses the forecast's timezone; confirm the timezone in the saved schedule details.
3. Set the **Historical training range** and **Forecast regeneration range**. Review the period timeline and resolve any range warnings before saving.
4. Choose whether scheduled runs should **Calculate required coverage** and **Publish coverage automatically**. Automatic publishing is available when calculation is on.
5. Check the baseline queue and channel scope under **Inherited settings**. For backlog, choose statuses, a cleanup target, and a capacity schedule. Each run uses the latest version of that schedule; uncovered days have zero capacity.
6. Select **Save Schedule**. Confirm the frequency, run time, timezone, windows, and next run in **Automatic schedule**. Use **Edit** to change it or **Disable** to pause future runs.

The schedule rolls the training and forecast windows forward for each run. To create a one-time reforecast instead, see [How To Run A One-Time Reforecast](/help/articles/run-a-reforecast/). To inspect upcoming and completed runs, see [How To Review Reforecast Run History](/help/articles/review-forecast-run-history/).

## Notes on this article

### Note: Minimum date windows

After step 3 in resolution. Daily: 28 training days and a 7-day horizon. Every 3 days: 42 training days and a 10-day horizon. Weekly: 56 training days and a 14-day horizon.

### Important: Automatic publishing changes coverage

After step 4 in resolution. When enabled, each run writes required coverage over the baseline for its queue, channel, and time window. Leave it off if your team needs to review coverage before publishing.
