Bar Chart displays average percent variance for all active projects by OBS unit. Percent variance = Planned Cost - Budgeted Cost / Budgeted Cost * 100. Projects with no Budgeted Cost are ignored for the calculation. Then all project variance percentages are algebraically added (some may be negative), and divided by total projects with a variance. This yields the Average Percent Variance. This calculation is performed for active projects in each OBS unit. OBS units include all units at all levels where projects are attached. Portlet filterable by OBS, Financial Status, and Financially Approved. Vertical axis = OBS Unit Name. Horizontal axis = Variance Percent. Data value = Average Percent Variance. Mouseover value = OBS Name + Average Variance Percent. -

The Project Dependencies portlet displays all projects and their associated dependencies that the logged in user has rights to. This can assist in scheduling and visualizing the breakout of dependencies. The table below describes the available columns in the portlet. Column Label Description Project ID ID of the project Project Name Name of the project Type Relationship to above project, Parent Project (P) or Sub Project (S) Manager Manager of the project Start Start Date of the project Finish Finish Date of the project Gantt Visualization of project timelines Sort Column Used to order the columns for proper display of the portlet dimkey Internal code used by the query Inv_hlth_int Internal code used by the query Link_dbid Internal code used by the query link_toggle Internal code used by the query rel_active Internal code used by the query rel_dbid Internal code used by the query rel_mgr_dbid Internal code used by the query rel_sort Internal code used by the query -

The Timesheet Notes portlet displays all timesheet notes split out by resource, investment and task. This is very useful in situations where you want to review multiple notes as you do not have to open each note separately. The table below describes the available filter fields in the portlet.Column Label Description Timesheet Period Start Range of time periods to display filtered by start date Timesheet Period Finish Range of time periods to display filtered by finish date Resource Resource(s) to display Type Note on a timesheet or time entry (task specific) -

This portlet displays the % allocation of resources to projects. The portlet shows if the resource is allocated to the projects as an individual resource or as part of an Agile team, in which case it will display the resource % allocation to the team and what that will represent in terms of % allocation to the project. The Total Allocation % display the allocation of the resource to all investments is allocated to. Remaining Capacity and Over/Under columns will help identify the resources that still have availability and the ones that are over allocated. -
