Requesting Historical and Forecasted data

How to ask for 6 periods of historical or future data

Visible allows you to request up to 6 periods of historical or future data. This means either 6 months of data, 6 quarters of data, or 6 weeks of data depending on the frequency of the metrics you have set up in your metric library. 

Requesting Historical Data

Navigate to your Request editor and head to the Content section. From here you will need to create a new metric block which you can do by selecting + Add a new block at the top right

Next, choose the frequency of the metrics you want to collect. 

Then, select the number of periods you want to collect by choosing from either multiple previous periods or multiple forecast periods and then the number of periods.
