Dashboard (Project Perspective)
- Click on Modules Menu icon> Reports and Analytics> Dashboard.
- Select the Projects tab.
- Select the Functional Group, Division, related Account. You may zoom-in a specific project by selecting the Project Manager, Project, Project State, Project Tags, or specific Dates range.
- Press Fetch to get results from the Dashboard.
- On the Project Dashboard you may view the following:
- Total Expenses (Sum): Budget Expenses and Actual Expenses amount for all the pre-filtered Projects.
- Total Income (Sum): Budget Income and Actual Income amount for all the pre-filtered Projects.
- Average Margin (%): The average Margin for all the pre-filtered Projects. The margin for a Project is calculated by the difference between Budget Income and Actual Expenses, which is then divided by the Budget Income in order to give the Percentage (%).
- Over Budget (Sum): The sum of Over Budget for all the pre-filtered Projects. This is calculated by the difference between Actual Expenses and Budget Expenses for the respective Project(s), provided that Actual Expenses are greater than then Budget Expenses for the selected Project(s).
- Projects per Month (graph): The Opened and Closed Projects for the selected criteria (e.g. for the selected Functional Group).
- Performance Index (graph): The Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) for the selected criteria (e.g. for the selected Functional Group). These factors are extensively explained in Earned Value Analytics. Thus, Cost Performance Index (CPI) is the ratio between Earned Value and Actual Cost, which shows whether or not Project Manager has the expected Progress in the Project Work when compared with the actual Expenses. Schedule Performance Index (SPI) is the ratio between Earned Value and Planned Value, which shows whether or not Project Manager has the expected Progress in the Project Work when compared with the budget Expenses he has planned. CPI that is greater than 1 means that you are earning more than the amount spent; you are under budget. CPI that is less than 1 means that you are earning less than the amount spent, so you are under budget. CPI equal to one means that earning and spending are equal. SPI that is greater than 1, means that more work has been completed than the planned one and you are ahead of schedule. On the other hand, SPI that is less than 1, means that less work has been completed than the planned work; thus, you are behind schedule. If SPI is equal to one, you are on
time. - RAG Status Count & RAG status Turnover (pie charts): In the 1st pie chart, you may see the RAG status of the Projects that align with the pre-selected criteria in filters. In the 2nd pie chart, you can see the Target Turnover (Contract Value) of these Projects combined with their RAG status.
- Projects Turnover Per Month (graph): Here are displayed the Contract Value(s) of the Project(s) resulted in the pre-filtered criteria.
- Press Details to view information available in-detail (for a selected Project or multiple Projects – as selected in the pre-filtered criteria). Get informed on Project’s:

- Budget Expenses/Budget Income: The budgeted amount of Expenses and Income inside the Project that may refer to Labour Work, HW/SW or Other financials.
- Actual Expenses/Actual Income: The actual amount of Expenses and Income inside the Project that may refer to Labour Work, HW/SW or Other financials.
- Margin (%): The difference between the Budget Income and the Actual Expenses, when divided by the Budget Income so as to give a percentage.
- Rating: The rating of the Project that can be edited from Project Admins inside the Project’s summary.
- Actual Cost (AC): Also known as Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) is the actual amount of money spent and is placed in the actual and approved Chargeable Tasks of the Project.
- Planned Value (PV): Alternatively, this can be named as Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS). In planned value, you will have all the Budget Expenses of the Project up to today’s date or selected end range date (Workpackage-based).
- Cost Variance (CV): The difference between the EV and AC. (Cost budget at Completion (BAC) is the budget cost that the Project Manager can track through Progress Management. This can alter based on the cost that is expected to be spent on this project from the project manager perspective. Earned Value (EV) is the amount of money earned from completed work in a given time. It is also calculated based on the % of Project Completion and BAC that is set in Progress Management feature by Project Manager. Alternatively, you may name it Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP).)
- Schedule Variance (SV): The difference between EV and PV.
- Cost Performance Index (CPI): The ratio between EV and AC, which shows whether or not Project Manager has the expected Progress in the Project Work when compared with the actual Expenses. CPI that is greater than 1 means that you are earning more than the amount spent; you are under budget. CPI that is less than 1 means that you are earning less than the amount spent, so you are under budget. CPI equal to one means that earning and spending are equal.
- Schedule Performance Index (SPI): The ratio between EV and PV, which shows whether or not Project Manager has the expected Progress in the Project Work when compared with the budget Expenses he has planned. SPI that is greater than 1, means that more work has been completed than the planned one and you are ahead of schedule. On the other hand, SPI that is less than 1, means that less work has been completed than the planned work; thus, you are behind schedule. If SPI equal to one, you are on time.
- Estimate to Completion (ETC): The expected amount of money that will be spent to complete the remaining part of the Project. This can be calculated from the difference between the Estimated at Completion (EAC) and Actual Cost (AC).
- Estimated at Completion (EAC): This indicates the total estimated cost of the Project, which is calculated based on the ratio of the budget cost that Project Manager adds through Progress Management feature (BAC) and the Cost Performance Index (CPI).
- Variance at Completion (VAC): This gives you an indication of how much you are under budget or over budget when the Project completes. This is the difference between the Budget at Completion (BAC) and Estimate at Completion (EAC). Positive variance means that the Project is under budget and negative variance means that the Project is over budget.
- Status based on the Average Performance Index: This is the sum of CPI and SPI divided by 2, which actually gives an indicative number. If the number is less than 0.65 will be highlighted in black, the number from 0.65 to 0.85 is highlighted in red, a number from 0.85 to 1 is highlighted in yellow and number greater than 1 is highlighted in green.
