Portfolio Hierarchy with Project Details Considering % to Include

This report shows by category a portfolio hierarchy with projects linked to each portfolio and details, including numeric values based on the % of the project to include in the portfolio (very useful if you have projects with % to include less than 100% associated to one or more portfolios). You can build this report using the design settings in the table below. Alternatively, you can download this report definition and upload it to your PPM Pro instance.

Note that you may want to replace the "Total Actual Cost" standard field with "Total Actuals (Financial Summary)" standard field if the Financial Summary is in use for these projects (and possibly add other Financial Summary fields such as "Total Budget (Financial Summary)" and "Total Forecast (Financial Summary)").

To change the data field Display Name or Display Data As, for example from "$0,000.00" to "$0,000", within the List Fields area title select the edit icon for "Show Field Options" and in the resulting "Field Options" modal, edit the field options.
