Freestyle: Simply add the appropriate number to the month in question, or use the Quick actions to set numbers in bulk. Set which day of the month to set the data against.

As you add and save drivers, they can be used within forecasting and reporting.
Forecasting: When using the formula method of creating your own prediction, you'll be able to reference any drivers. Simply type '@', this will bring up the organisation's chart of accounts and drivers.
Reporting: There are two sections of the reporting tool in Futrli where you'll be able to reference drivers.
Firstly, they can be applied directly to a report. You'll find non-financial data just below the financial data.
The second part of reporting where you'll be able to reference drivers is when creating a formula within a report.
You'll see the option to create a formula within the Row/Chart formulas section.
