Cumulative ValueThe solid green line (on the left), indicates the total closed estimate value, or the total closed backlog item count, for the backlog items associated to the selected portfolio item and all child portfolio items.
Actual ValueThe dark red bars indicates how much Estimate, or how many Backlog Items, were closed in the given period. 
SWAG ValueIf enabled, the light Red line indicates the Swag value for the selected portfolio item. This value does not includes the SWAG value of child portfolio items.

ForecastForecast a single possible end date using linear forecasting based on the following historical value:

- None. Do not forecast an end date.
- Average. Use the average of all visible slope values.
- Optimistic. Use the steepest visible slope value.
Pessimistic. Use the lowest, non-zero, visible slope value.
- Most Often. Use the visible non-zero slope value that occurs most often.  If no slope value occurs more frequently than any other, use the average.
 None
Aggregation TypeIndicates how to aggregate the historical data.  The options are:

- Total Estimate. Use the sum of the Backlog Item Estimate value when querying data for the simulation input   With this option, Backlog Items that do not have an Estimate are not considered.
- Workitem Count. Use a count of Backlog Items when querying data for the simulation input.  With this option Backlog Items that do not have an Estimate are considered.
