Calendar vs. Fiscal Period (Employee Analytics)

Purpose

Use the Show Month as Numeric option under Calendar vs. Fiscal Period to indicate if you want fiscal periods labeled by month name or by period number.

This setting applies to the Labor Utilization Analytics.

Project Analytics

You make this selection separately in Costpoint Analytics – Project Configuration for the detailed project analytics. The two settings need not be the same.

Initial Configuration

Select No in Show Month as Numeric if all of the following are true:

If you select No in Show Month as Numeric, Costpoint Analytics labels the fiscal periods using month abbreviations: Jan, Feb, and so on.

In all other cases, select Yes in Show Month as Numeric. Costpoint Analytics then labels the fiscal periods using period numbers: 01, 02, and so on.

Ongoing Administration

Normally, you do not need to change this setting. You may need to change it, however, if you change the beginning date of your fiscal year or you change the distribution of fiscal periods within the year.
