Deltek Acumen Options User Interface Tab

Use this tab to perform such tasks as set default font size, hide empty forensics, set language, date, and time formats, and so on.

Analysis

Field Description
Default Font Size Set the default font size.
Show Long Date Format If you select this option, the date format displayed in Acumen changes from MM/DD/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM/PM.
Hide Empty Ribbons Hide ribbons on the S2 // Diagnostics tab that have no data.
Calculate Score using metric based score instead of activity based score Select this option to specify that you want Acumen to calculate the score using an average of the metric scores. If this option is not selected, Acumen calculates the score on a per-activity basis and the final score is an average of the per-activity scores.

Activity-based scoring places a premium on absolute compliance with the assigned metrics. The breach of any single metric on a task will prevent those tasks from receiving a “passing grade.”

Metric-based scoring allows incremental improvements to tasks to be reflected in the overall score. The metric-based method typically produces higher scores, as a single task would need to fail in multiple areas simultaneously in order to receive a very low score.

Forensics

Field Description
Hide empty Forensic Analysis Hide Forensic Analysis fields that have no variance.

Scorecard

Field Description
Lower/Upper Value Use the sliders to set the lower and upper scorecard values for the Activity Browser scorecard view. Changing the thresholds will only affect the visible color range of the overall score. It will not influence the numerical score.

Fluent UI

Projects Select the external data sources that you want to see in the Get External Data From group on the S1 // Projects tab.
