The Proposed Estimates vs. Task Estimates portlet gives the ability to identify when the Proposed Estimates for any given task exceed the Task Estimates. The portlet filters by investment name, investment ID, project OBS unit, investment active (yes/no/all), investment manager, resource name, resource ID, resource OBS unit, resource active (yes/no/all), and resource manager. Additionally, the results can be filtered by the proposed ETC greater than task ETC flag (yes/no/all). The information provided on the portlet includes the investment name, investment ID, investment active (yes/no), investment start/end dates, task name, resource name, resource active (yes/no), resource manager, total hours, total ETC, proposed ETC greater than task ETC flag (yes/no), pending actual hours, and proposed ETC hours.

The purpose is to show actual hours, planned effort and remaining effort at the resource level, with the addition of OBS levels to support filtering and manipulation of the exported data.

Project managers may use this portlet to show the planned effort and the remaining effort on projects.  Includes actual hours as well as estimate at completion. You may narrow the results by filtering by project name, project manager, project OBS, or active flag. The portlet will display each project by ID, name, project manager, planned effort (total allocation hours), actual hours, remaining effort (ETC), and estimate at complete (actual + ETC).

The Benefits by Year portlet summarizes Benefit totals by year and is searchable by Project, OBS and Portfolio.  The results display both Budgeted Benefit Plans and Forecast Plans and the associated Cost Plan.  Users can make use of this portlet to view Benefit Plan totals across an OBS or Portfolio or to compare the Budgeted Benefit of a Project versus the current plan.
