Select this option to generate the report from pre-processed data in the project summary table, rather than directly from the standard database tables. In most cases,
Deltek generates the report much faster if you select this option.
Calculations performed for this report place high demands on processor resources. In some cases, it can take a long time to generate the report for large databases. To minimize the time it takes to generate the report, first run the Refresh Project Summary Table utility to calculate and store the data for this report in a summary table. Then, before you generate the report, select the
Use Summary Table option.
If the Refresh Project Summary Table utility has never been run, this option is not available. In that case,
Deltek displays a note next to the option:
Use Summary Table (Refresh under Advanced Utilities)
After you run the utility the first time,
Deltek makes the
Use Summary Table option available and displays the most recent date and time that the utility was run:
Use Summary Table (Updated: 4/5/18 12:09PM)
The Refresh Project Summary Table utility calculates and saves project summary information for regular projects only.
Recommendation: Schedule the Refresh Project Summary Table utility to run each night, so that each day the data for reports are current as of the night before for all
Deltek users.
