Dashboard Tab of the Projects Form

The Dashboard tab in the Projects hub displays a set of charts and tables called "dashparts." These graphical representations of project data enable you to quickly assess performance and identify problems.

The WBS level that you are viewing does not affect the layout of fields, but it can change the information displayed in certain fields. For example, on the Summary pane, the project number is the same regardless of the level that you are viewing, but contract start and end dates can be different at the project, phase, and task levels.

Field	Description
Show	This field displays Billing or Cost to indicate whether the amounts represented in the charts and tables are at billing or at cost. If you select Cost and Billing in Budget Type in the Plan Settings dialog box, both Billing and Cost are available, and you can switch between them. When you switch, the form's grids and charts update to reflect your selection. If your firm uses multiple currencies, the currency in use is indicated next to the Billing or Cost option. The project cost currency is always used when viewing projects and plans at cost. A configuration setting that your system administrator selects determines whether project cost currency or billing currency is used when you view projects and plans at billing. Note:
Dashparts	The Dashboard tab displays four dashparts. A dashpart is a chart or table that provides visual indicators of your project's key information, enabling you to track how your project is trending and identify any areas that might need attention. At any time, you can substitute a different dashpart for any of those currently displayed.
