Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Quotas have not been defined for the users in the forecast hierarchy for the selected time period.
Forecasts require quotas to be set for the users in the hierarchy, and the user must be assigned to a role that has forecasting enabled. Additionally, date ranges must match.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Einstein Activity Capture has not been enabled for the forecast owners.
Why it's wrong here
Activity capture is separate from forecasting data.

Why this is correct
Without quotas or correct user setup in the forecast hierarchy, forecast values may not display or calculate properly.

Why it's wrong here
