Principal Sample – Charts at Billing Performance Dashboard

The Principal Sample - Charts at Billing performance dashboard contains four charts that each focuses on key billing-based metrics for a principal's projects.

Variance Percent Chart

The Variance Percent measure value is calculated as Variance / Revenue.

(Variance = Revenue – Spent @ Billing)

Drill Down	None

Use the Key Performance Indicators tab of the Analysis Cubes form in Vision (Configuration > General > Analysis Cubes) to specify company target values for the VariancePercentTargetPrincipal KPI. (The performance dashboards will not display the targets you specify until you use the Vision Resource Kit to update the Analysis Cubes to include those targets.)

Automatic Filter

Vision automatically filters the data to only include projects for which the principal assigned to the project is the current Vision user. If the user is not linked to an employee in Vision, this filter cannot be applied, so the dashboard includes data for all projects.

Filter Options

You can filter the project data for this performance dashboard based on any or all of the following:

• Project manager
• Project type
• Project status
• Project charge type (Default: Regular)
• Fiscal year (Default: most recent three years)

Chart Selections as Filters

When you click on a data point on one of the charts, the other charts are filtered also based on the dimension associated with that data point.

Chart	Chart Selection Filters

Revenue Analysis at Billing	Fiscal year Other filters available when you drill down: Fiscal quarter, fiscal period
