Create Resource Forecast Types

Explanation

This activity is used to create resource forecast types which can be used to group resource forecasts. The purpose of resource forecast types is to distinguish between resource forecasts created for different reasons. 

Each resource forecast type will be assigned a unique resource forecast version series which will ensure that every resource forecast version created for a particular resource/forecast type inherits a version prefix and version start number as defined on the resource forecast type.
