Perform this activity to create spread profiles which can be used to distribute hours or amounts into different date ranges or periods in project resource forecasting and project budgets and forecasts. The purpose of these spread profiles is to simplify the spreading so that you can select and use a predefined spread profile to perform the spreading instead of entering spreading manually per date range or period. A spread profile can also be set as the default profile for a resource forecast, cost forecast and/or revenue forecast. When e.g. a resource forecast line is added in a company the spread profile that is set as default will be proposed automatically for it.
