Using the predictive metric in reports and documents

After the predictive metrics have been created, they can be used in reports and documents to forecast new trends and outcomes. There are no special requirements, other than including the predictive metrics. For information on creating reports, see Designing a report. For information on creating documents, see Designing and creating documents.

Predictive models are generated based on a certain level of input data. Therefore, in order for a model to produce valid results when scored, the model must be provided the same level of input data. If the user of the model does not have access to this level of data (that is, a security filter on the user does not allow such access) then the model cannot be expected to return valid scores.
