Built-in Forecast Checks

When you run a forecast of changes, the Forecast phase runs in two parts:

1. Run built-in forecast checks (internal rules), listed here. Forecasting fails immediately if any check is not passed. 
2. Run rules in the <project>/Rules/Forecast folder

See also Rule Stages and Objects.
