Histogram View

Open Plan includes histogram views that enable you to display time-scaled data using a graphical format, a tabular format, or a combination of the two.

These displays are as follows:

  • Resource histograms display resource and cost data in a graphical form. Resource histogram views are especially useful for modeling project resources since they allow you to compare resource assignments to availabilities as well as allow you to view the overall usage of a resource (or a group of resources) over the time span of the project.
  • Risk histograms display the results of risk analysis for designated key activity in a project. Risk histograms allow project planners to see at a glance how Open Plan scheduled an activity over the course of many trial simulations.
  • Time-Phased Reporting View displays data as activity counts or values as a histogram and/or S-Curve view.

In Open Plan, you can display a resource histogram as a stand-alone view or as part of a barchart view. In either case, the features of the resource histogram are identical, and you can perform any operation in a similar manner in either view. By contrast, risk histograms are available only as stand-alone views.
