Cost Sets Page of the Report Wizard

Use this page to define the cost sets to display on the report. Cost sets group classes together for the purpose of reporting.

The data that is displayed on the report is organized by the selected cost sets. You can select either a single cost set or multiple cost sets (pre-defined group of classes).

Note: This page displays only if you select a project file to run the report against and if the report definition is set to allow the selection of a cost set. Reports that contain formulae such as CV and SV use predefined cost sets that do not allow you to make cost set selections. However, you can change one cost set to another in the report definition.

Attention: For more information on predefined cost sets, see the Report Content Parameters help topic.

Available Cost Sets

This list displays all of the cost sets defined in the Cost Sets tab of the Project Properties dialog box for the project or master project you select. You can select more than one cost set. The maximum number of cost sets you can select is displayed above this list. An error occurs if you select more than this number of cost sets.

Selected cost sets

This list displays the selected cost sets from the Available cost sets list.

Report Options

Field

Description

Include only non-zero cost sets

Use this check box to specify whether cost sets with zero values should be displayed with the selected sub-total criteria. Select this check box to exclude zero results from the report. This option affects the individual sub-total criteria.  For example, a control account that does not have actual cost does not display the actual line, but a different control account that has actual cost does. If you do not  select this check box, there is a line under each sub-total even if the values are zero. This option is useful in Curve reports where the red line always indicates the actual costs. This option is also useful when subtracting one cost set from another. If you do not select this option, it takes longer for the report to run.
