Project Dashboard Charts

ProjectDashboard

The Project Dashboard is now available in UI3 and with the power of Charts. This gives a visual analysis of a specific project and is useful for visually comparing projects.

Note: All items displayed on the Project Dashboard are filtered by the specific project. Only saved reports with the "Make this report available in project-specific situations" option selected are shown in the Reports portlet and available to create Charts.

PieChart

Additional settings are provided to give more control over the display of Pie Charts:
  • Less than 10% values are not automatically grouped into the Other slice

Timesheets

Role permission to view all time entries for project approvers

This new timesheet permission can be assigned to a role to allow project approvers to see all the hours worked on a timesheet and not just those being approved for a particular project.

For example, consider the case where a company is using some customers as approvers and also has its own internal approvers. The company does not want its customers to see all the hours worked on a timesheet, but its own approvers need to see all the hours worked. This can be controlled by setting the "View all time entries for project approvers" role permission for its own internal approvers and leaving this unset for its customers.

The new permission can be assigned on the Administration -> Global Settings -> Roles screen.

Reports

Filter by revenue container approval status

There is now the option to filter by revenue container approval status in custom calculations. There are the following statuses: Approved, Submitted, Open, and Rejected.

Users can add these calculations to their reports.

For example, this allows a customer to run reports at the end of the month to see how much revenue has been approved versus was is still sitting in an unapproved status.

This feature is available in the Account-wide summary reports and Invoice Summary reports.

Additional filters for Advanced Pending Billings report

The following additional filters are available for the Advanced Pending Billings report: Service, Rule type, Charge type, Expense item, and Product.

For example, this allows reports to be created for specific types of pending billings and allows customers to run cost analysis on a more frequent and timely basis.

To enable the additional filters for the Advanced Pending Billings report, please contact NetSuite OpenAir Support.
