| Field | Description |
|---|
| Report Name
|
You can change the default report name.
|
| Create Activity

To create activities in the Calendar/Activities application when you generate the report, select this check box. When you generate the report,
Vision displays the Activity dialog box so that you can enter the activity information.
Vision then creates an activity for each
project included on the report.
|
| Project Base Rollup
|
Use
Project Base Rollup to summarize information for projects that use a standard numbering system. For example, if the first five characters of your project number represent a master contract, you can summarize (roll up) information for all projects that have a common master contract number.
The
Project Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your firm’s project numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 10-digit project number, the slider box displays
1234567890. A project number can also include up to two delimiters (for example, 12-345.67890).
- A phase total is the total of all occurrences of that phase across the base project.
- A task total is the total of all occurrences of that task across the base project.
To roll up project numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.
|
| Subtotal or Summarize on Base Number
|
If you set a project base rollup, use the field immediately below
Project Base Rollup to select how you want Vision to display the project data:
-
Subtotal on Base Number — Select this option to display a group header at the beginning of each group of projects that matches the base rollup and then list each project in full detail. After the last project in the group, the report displays a group total.
-
Summarize on Base Number — Select this option to display totals for each group but no project detail.
|
| Phase Base Rollup
|
Use
Phase Base Rollup to summarize report information for phases that use a standard numbering system.
The
Phase Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your firm’s phase numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 7-digit phase number, the slider box displays
1234567. A phase number can also include one delimiter (for example, 12345.12).
You can roll up the base phase and still display information by task. When you do, a task total is the total of all occurrences of that task across the base project. For example, the total for Task 00001 is the total of all Task 00001s in the base project.
To display only phases and tasks, use the
Project Base Rollup slider to cover the project number completely.
To roll up phase numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.
|
| Task Base Rollup
|
Use
Task Base Rollup to summarize information at the task level for tasks that use a standard numbering system. This option is only available if you use tasks.
The
Task Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your firm’s task numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 3-digit task number, the slider box displays
123.
This option works in the same way as the project and phase rollup options. For example, if the first two characters of your task number represent a department, you can roll up information for all tasks that have the same department number.
To show only tasks, use the
Project Base Rollup and
Phase Base Rollup sliders to cover the project number and phase number completely.
To roll up task numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

If you select this check box, Vision displays
Estimate Overhead at the top of the report.

If you select

|
| Unposted Labor
|

If you select this check box, Vision includes the following timesheet data:
- All timesheet data in unposted transaction entry files.
- All Time & Expense timesheets that are in progress or submitted, but not posted.
The report displays the code
u next to unposted time.
Vision uses extensions for cost and billing rates to calculate unposted labor amounts when timesheets are saved.
|
| Committed Purchase Order Expenses
|
Select this option to include as an expense any amounts committed to approved orders. If you include committed expenses, you can see major upcoming costs that will affect a project’s bottom line.
If you select this option and also select
Current in
Activity Period on the Activity tab, Vision includes committed PO expenses whether or not the expense activity occurred in the current accounting period.
|
| Budget Balance when No Budget
|
Select this check box to display the difference between the budget and project-to-date billing or cost amounts even if there is no budgeted amount. The result is a negative amount unless the project-to-date amount is also zero or is a negative amount.
|
| Use Summary Table
|
Select this option to have Vision generate the report from pre-processed data in the project summary table, rather than directly from the standard database tables. In most cases, Vision 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, Vision displays a note next to the option:
Use Summary Table (Refresh under Advanced Utilities)
After you run the utility the first time, Vision makes the
Use Summary Table option available and displays the most recent date and time that the utility was run:
Use Summary Table (Updated: 4/5/15 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 Vision users.
|
| Period Range (For Use with Custom Columns)
|
Use these fields to specify a range of periods to be used by the custom columns selected on the Columns tab. This range of periods will only impact the custom columns. Vision defaults to the current period for the period range.
When you specify a custom range, the
Period Range option is enabled as one of the Activity Period options on the Activity Tab. Select this option to apply the custom time frame to the report and to filter the report to only include
projects, phases, or tasks with activity in that period range.

Vision presents all amounts on the report in the currency you specify, even though projects might not share a common project currency, billing currency, or functional currency. Vision uses the date you specify in
Exchange Rate as of to determine the exchange rates to use to calculate the amounts.
|
