Key Concepts
This section explains a set of concepts that are important to understand as you use the wInsight Analytics module.
- Calendars and Periods
wInsight Analytics displays data in the analytics for all contracts in monthly periods. If a contract calendar has more than one period in a month (weekly periods, for example), wInsight Analytics, during the data load process, consolidates the data for all periods in that month into a single period, and uses the end date of the last period in the month as the end date of the monthly period. - Colors and Trend Arrows
Some table columns for metrics display color-coded performance and trend information based on the selected period and the preceding period. Most commonly, this information is provided for schedule variance, cost variance, and variance at completion. - User-Defined Filters
To supplement the filter lists in wInsight Analytics, you can create additional filters in wInsight and import them into wInsight Analytics. - Views
The wInsight Analytics data model includes the Standard view and all custom views (custom versions of the Sort window) that have been created in wInsight.
