  Heavy flavor probes are sensitive to the properties of the quark gluon plasma
(QGP) produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A huge amount of effort
has been devoted to studying different aspects of the heavy-ion collisions
using heavy flavor particles. In this work, we study the dynamics of heavy
quark transport in the QGP medium using the rapidity dependence of heavy flavor
observables. We calculate the nuclear modification of $\text{B}$ and $\text{D}$
meson spectra as well as spectra of leptons from heavy flavor decays in the
rapidity range $[-4.0,4.0]$. We use an implementation of the improved Langevin
equation with gluon radiation on top of a (3+1)-dimensional relativistic
viscous hydrodynamical background for several collision setups. We find that
the rapidity dependence of the heavy quark modification is determined by the
interplay between the smaller size of the medium, which affects the path length
of the heavy quarks, and the softer heavy quark initial production spectrum. We
compare our results with available experimental data and present predictions
for open heavy flavor meson $R_\text{AA}$ at finite rapidity.
