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.
