Project Statistics Portlet

Overview

Use this portlet to analyze project information in row and column format for a particular project or project group. Depending on your information needs, you can customize the portlet to select the columns of information you want to appear, and specify the display format to analyze data in a way that is meaningful to you.

The information displayed in the portlet depends upon where it appears:

  • In a dashboard, the portlet displays the information you select down to the WBS level for all projects included in the current dashboard filter. For example, if you filter a dashboard by a portfolio, the Project Statistics portlet displays data for all projects included in that portfolio.
  • In a project workspace, the portlet displays the information you select down to the WBS level for the currently open project.

Screen Elements

Customize link

Displays a dialog box or page that allows you to configure the current page, tab, dialog box, or portlet. See Customize Project Statistics Dialog Box.

Display List option

Displays the projects in a list by the code or portfolio used to filter the dashboard. When you display the portlet using the list format, each project and WBS appear as hyperlinks you can click to navigate to successively deeper levels within the project.

Display Group option

Displays the projects in a hierarchical table you can expand and collapse. When you display the portlet using the group format, each project and WBS appear as levels or nodes you can click to expand successively deeper levels within the project.

Name field

The name of the project, portfolio, project code, or WBS.

Project Owner field

The resource designated as responsible for the project.

The project owner designation provides a user with viewing access for the project.

Start field

The current start date of the project. For a not started project, this is the project's planned start date. For a project that has started or is complete, this is the project's actual start date.

Finish field

The current finish date of the project. For completed projects, this is the latest actual finish date derived from all activities. For not started projects, this is the latest finish date derived from all activities in the current baseline. For in-progress activities, this is the date remaining work is scheduled to end.

Tips

  • Information displayed in the Project Statistics portlet is based on summarized data, so it is current as of the last date the summarizer was run for a project. To easily determine this date, add the column Last Summarized Date, which is available under the Summary section of the Available Columns list when you customize the portlet. However, activity-level information is based on live data.
  • To specify filter criteria for a dashboard, use the Filter by list at the top of the dashboard tab. For any dashboard you create, you can select to filter data by portfolio, project, or project code; for multi-user and global dashboards created by other users, your ability to change the filter is determined by the Restrict users from changing the dashboard filter setting on the Customize Dashboards page.
  • Project Workspace portlets display data for the selected project only. When multiple projects are open, you must select the project you want to work with in the Select Project list at the top right of the Workspace page. When a single project is open, the Select Project list does not appear.
