Work status widget

Description

The Work status widget displays status information of work portfolio items in a grid. By default, the Work status widget includes the following work item attributes as columns:

  • Description (Name)
  • Work status
  • Schedule start
  • Schedule finish
  • Actual start
  • Actual finish
  • Percent complete

However, the widget can be configured to include up to 10 of any combination of work item attributes. 

           

NOTE

The values for Financial subtotal and calculated attributes come from the "Forecast" Financial Version on the default Financial Model.

           

The Work status widget is available for use in Planview.Me, and in Planview Portfolios in Overview tabs on My Overview and the work portfolio view:

  • In the work portfolio view, the widget displays the work items for the current work portfolio.
