Why a forecast has no value, source link, or exact date

A forecast shows Not shared or No date yet when the buyer did not publish that fact, which is a gap in the record, not a fault.

A card or page can show Not shared or No date yet. It can also say "There is no public link to this forecast." This does not mean that Hunter failed to load the forecast.

Check these causes in order

  1. The buyer did not publish the fact. Many buyers give a title only. The page then says: "The agency has shared only the title so far." Local buyers rarely say who may bid.
  2. The record gives a year, not a day. The card reads Some time in FY... or Around a month. See Federal fiscal-year and state or local forecast dates explained.
  3. The value is from a budget line. The page then says it may cover more than this one purchase.
  4. The source has no public link. Look under Forecast source. If it says to search the buyer's website, search for the title or the number that the page gives.
  5. Some facts are still unknown. Read Still unknown in Grant's read. Each line says how to find the fact: ask the office, wait for the bid request, or let Grant check. See Read Grant's forecast assessment and plan.

What you see when it works

The cards show the buyer, value, place, date and Who may bid. Not every forecast gets all of them. A gap is normal.
