Time-phased Reports

Reports are categorized as time-phased when the data is organized by periods from the selected calendar set. The criteria/cost set is displayed by row and the calendar periods by column. Data is plotted at the intersection of both.

You can select as many as four criteria for these reports.

You can generate these Time-phased reports:

  • Time-phased — Use this report to view the project data time-phased by cost set.  The report displays the time-phased incremental value for the criteria by cost set.
  • Time-phased Repeat Sub — Use this report to view project data time-phased by cost set. This report is similar to the Time-phased Report except that the Time-phased Repeat Sub report requires the criteria Result to be selected. Each result shows its incremental values time-phased across all periods for the criteria. You must select at least one result as the last criteria.
  • ROI — Use this report to view the profit and return on investment (ROI) by criteria for the project. The report displays the time-phased incremental value for the criteria by cost set. In addition, a calculated ROI and profit line displays for each criteria.
  • Budget-Actual — Use this report to view the time-phased variance between budget and actual costs for each criterion.  This report displays the incremental time-phased values by the actual and budget cost set.  It also displays a variance line, which is the difference between the budget and actual costs.
  • Trend — Use this report to view the time-phased budget, actual, earned, variance, and cost performance data. This report displays the budget, earned, and actual incremental costs by period.  In addition, it displays four calculated rows of CV (cost variance), SV (schedule variance), SPI (Schedule Performance Index), and CPI (Cost Performance Index).
  • Time-phased FTE — Use this report to display FTEs for reporting periods other than calendar set 00. This report uses the hours in the project for the selected period, then divides by the hours in the calendar to calculate the FTEs for each selected period on the report.
