Executive Briefing Options Dialog Box

Use this dialog box when you create a Risk Executive Briefing Report to specify the report options.

Field Description
Selection Set Use this field to choose the selection set on which you want to base the report.
Note: The selection set that you choose should be one that was created for the selected project. If the selection set that you choose has no activity IDs that match activities in the selected project, when Acumen tries to create the report, the system displays a message letting you know that there are no matching activities. You must select a different project, or change/edit the selection set and repeat these steps.

For more information, see Risk Executive Briefing Report.

P Value Use this field to specify the P value for the report.

The Percentage Value affects the length of the activity. For example, if you calculate risk exposure with a P value of 50, you are stating that you want Acumen to calculate the dates for activities based on a 50% chance of completion. If you set the P value at 80, then Acumen will lengthen those activities until they have an 80% chance of completion.

The initial value is set to the number that you currently have selected on the S3 // Risk tab in the Risk Drivers group Configuration > Calculate Risk Exposure At field. Changing the value here will not change the value on the S3 // Risk tab.

Tornado Top N Use this field to specify the number of risk drivers that you want to include in the Tornado view.

The initial value is set to the number that you currently have selected on the S3 // Risk tab in the Risk Drivers group Configuration > Show Top field. Changing the value here will not change the value on the S3 // Risk tab.

Driver Analysis Mode Specify whether you want to include the Activities mode, Events mode, or Both in the report. If you select Both, two charts display for each activity.
Group Report By Use this field to group the data by:
  • Activities — The report displays a heading for the activity followed by all the charts for that activity.
  • Chart Type — The report displays a chart heading followed by all the charts of that type.
