Labor Resource Forecast Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

The contents and labels for many of the columns on this report depend upon your settings for the Format and Period Scale options on the General tab.

Contents

Field Description
Project This column displays the project number.
Project Name This column displays the name of the project.
Phase This column displays the phase number.
Phase Name This column displays the name of the phase.

<Period Scale> Plan <Format>

These columns display the hours, amounts, percentages, or alerts for the periods specified in Period Scale.

The name and contents of these columns depend upon your selections in Period Scale and Format on the General tab of the Options dialog box.

For example, if you select Monthly in Period Scale and Revenue in Format, the column name on the Columns tab is Monthly Plan Revenue, and the period columns display monthly forecasted revenue amounts.

Employee Number This column displays the employee number.

If the Resource Planning module is activated, but the Accounting module is not activated, this drop-down list can display up to 17 planning levels. Note that if the maximum plan level selected is greater than the levels a project has, this report will display only those levels down to the project's lowest level. For example, if you choose to see 17 levels but the project only has 5, the report will list all the levels up to level 5 only for the project, not through level 17. There will just be one column for plan level columns 4-17 and it will display the plan level name. We don't have a plan level number to display for these columns.

Prior Plan <Format>

This column displays the hours or amounts dated prior to the date that you specify in Start Date on the General tab.

This column displays the total hours or amounts for all of the period columns displayed on the report.
