Adjust parameters to model different outcomes based on specific interventions or changes. When you update these parameters it enables your organization to explore the potential impacts of different decisions, providing a
clear comparison of outcomes.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_esg.program_manager

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllOperational Sustainability ManagementOperational Sustainability WorkspaceListsAnalysis contexts.
2. Select the Analysis context record that you want and navigate to the Analysis tab.
3. Select the Analysis record that you want and then navigate to the Forecast tab.
4. Select the information icon to open the forecast sidebar and fill in the parameter fields.  
   {#create-a-forecast-intervention__table_zqs_sgr_fgc__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Period | The timeframe used for simulating the adjusted forecast information. |
   | Calculated metric definition (CMD) formula operands | The parameters that were used in the formula. Original values used for the forecast are displayed for each of the parameter fields. You can adjust each parameter to model different interventions and their outcomes. For example, if your formula is as follows: (Total electricity consumption - Solar panel contribution) * Emission factor , the following parameter fields would be available to adjust: Total electricity consumption, Solar panel contribution, Emission factor. By modifying these parameters, you can simulate various analyses to assess the impact of different sustainability interventions on emissions. Note: * The fields displayed vary based on the operands chosen in the CMD formula and differ according to the specific CMD. * These fields appear when creating an analysis context with a metric definition selected in the Type field and a calculated metric definition selected in the Metric definition field. For more information, refer to [Create an analysis context](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bCIcgVe7wFROGk7k3eLs3w "Create an analysis context to group different analyses for a specific use case. By setting up an analysis context, you can help confirm that all relevant analyses are considered and compared systematically, providing a comprehensive view of potential outcomes."). {#create-a-forecast-intervention__ul_x1r_djr_fgc} |
   | Adjustment | Choose an adjustment type absolute (123) or percentage (%) and enter the corresponding adjustment value. Note: * This fields appear when while creating a analysis context, the metric definition is selected in Type field, a manual or automated metric definition is selected in Metric definition field. * This fields appears when creating a analysis context, a metric is selected in Type field and a metric is selected in the Metric field. For more information, refer to [Create an analysis context](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bCIcgVe7wFROGk7k3eLs3w "Create an analysis context to group different analyses for a specific use case. By setting up an analysis context, you can help confirm that all relevant analyses are considered and compared systematically, providing a comprehensive view of potential outcomes."). {#create-a-forecast-intervention__ul_i5b_kmr_fgc} |

5. Select Save.  
   The updated parameters are used to simulate the calculation based on the updated values that were entered. The forecast graph shows the original standard forecast and the new adjusted forecast and the formula parameters for each are shown in the Formula parameters section.
6. Repeat the above until the new adjusted forecast and formula parameters meet your requirements.
7. Select Publish.  
   After publishing, you will not be able to make any changes to the parameters.

## What to do next

After creating and publishing multiple analyses and forecasts, you can compare the analyses and view a graph that captures the data for each analysis you select. For more information on viewing a Comparison graph see, [Create a forecast comparison graph](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/i2LyTnyXoXi7pU6Oo7c1SA "Create a forecast comparison graph to compare the different outcomes based on specific interventions or changes."). For more information on creating analyses, see [Create an analysis](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lnmAdWQH3Hl3k~IoKygPeA "Create analyses to model different outcomes based on specific interventions or changes. You can generate forecasts for each analysis and use that information to compare the different outcomes and better understand the impact of potential interventions.").
