Additional Information
Details of the attributes, data types and parameters available for each report dimension:
  • X Axis – Time Periods; these periods are based on the Enterprise and Fiscal Calendar.X Axis – pie chart/bar chart stacks; this “slice by” parameter offers the ability to slice by the following data types;
    • A work (project) dimension (attribute). The available attributes are any work single select alternate structure, any WBS parent levels (above project level in the WBS).
    • A financial planning line attribute that is common to the financial planning accounts selected, for example the “Providing Organization”. This allows the detailed analysis of project financial data based on the characteristics of the financial values.
    • The financial planning account hierarchy (Account Group: Acct Level 2, Account: Acct Level 3)
  • Y Axis – Financial Value; the y axis shows data from the financial plan. The following parameters are used to determine what is shown;
    • Currency; if Planview Enterprise is configured to support multi-currency then this parameter allows selection of the currency to display the financial values in. Standard currency conversions are used.
    • Version; a single active financial plan version can be selected.
    • Financial Measure; financial planning can be used to store financial, effort and unit data. Only one measure type can be selected, to ensure that different data types are not aggregated.
    • Financial Category; selections are either “Cost” or “Revenue/Benefit”. These are determined by the financial management account configuration.
    • Account Types; Capital/Expense/Labor; based on the financial management account configuration, this parameter allows further filtering of the financial data that is aggregated for the Y Axis.
    • Accounts; this list is dynamically built based on the prior selections and shows the hierarchy of all accounts configured in the model that fit the Category and Account Type selections.
  • Max Line Attributes; this determines how the data is displayed in the table, specifically how many line attributes
