- Select a Period
Use the Period drop-down list to select the period as of which you want to analyze data. The default period is the latest period for which data is available in wInsight Analytics for the currently selected contract, but you can select an earlier period. - Select a Contract
Use the Contract list to select the contract for which you want to display data. In wInsight Analytics - Single Project, you can only analyze data for one contract at a time. - Display Cumulative or Current Values
You can analyze either cumulative values or current (period-specific) values. Charts and tables that focus on one period display either cumulative cost/schedule variance values as of that period or the cost/schedule variance values for that period alone, depending on the option you select. Trending charts and tables show either the change in cumulative cost/schedule variance values from period to period or, if you select Current, the fluctuation of period-specific values from period to period. - Display Cost or Schedule Variance Values
You can set the variance type that you want to analyze. It can be either cost variance or schedule variance data, depending on the option that you select in the CV/SV option set. Charts and tables that focus on one period display either the cumulative/current cost variance or schedule variance value. Trending charts and tables show either the change in cumulative/current cost variance or schedule variance values from period to period or, if you select Current, the fluctuation of period-specific values from period to period. - Select EOC Units
If EOC data has been loaded for different units (such as Dollars and Hours), you can select which unit to analyze the EOC data for. - Select EOC Names
You can select which EOCs to display the analysis for by selecting them in the EOC Name table. - Select a Different Contract
You can select a different contract for analysis without returning to the Master Dashboard. - Select Element Type
Use the Element Type list to indicate whether you want to display analytic data by element at the lowest level of the selected structure, at the control account level, or at the work package level. - Filter by Element
Use the Lowest Elements, Control Account, or Work Package list to filter the contents of the analytics based on selected elements. Which of these lists is displayed depends on your selection in Element Type. - Filter Using Custom Filters from wInsight
You can apply user-defined custom filters to the analytics. The user-defined filters are filters created in wInsight and imported into wInsight Analytics along with the wInsight data.
