Trending Arrows Table (Multi-Project)

The Trending Arrows table on the Emerging Issues tab in wInsight Analytics – Multi-Project displays color-coded performance and trend indicators for schedule variances, cost variances, or variances at completion for 6 or 12 months up to and including the currently selected period.

You can use the companion table, Trending Values, to display the actual variance amounts by period.

Table Format

The Trending Arrows table is a straight (non-pivot) table. Unlike in most straight tables, however, you cannot sort the rows based on the values in a column, and you cannot drag columns to new locations.

Use the 6-Months and 12-Months options to specify the number of month columns you want in the table.

Table Data

Right-click in the column heading for the Level column to select the structure level of the elements you want to display.

The Trending Arrows table displays the following for each element for each of the included periods:

Data Item

Description

SV, CV, or VAC by period

Each month column displays color-coded performance and trend information for that month for the selected variance amount. Click near the upper-left corner of the table one or more times to select the variance you want: SV, CV, or VAC. Use the Cumulative and Current options above the table to display variance performance and trends based on cumulative or current values. The colors and arrows are determined by the change threshold settings that your wInsight system administrator establishes for each contract in wInsight. The colors indicate performance based on the thresholds, and the arrows indicate if that performance represents a significant positive or negative trend, compared to the prior period.
