Earned Value Report

The Earned Value report presents the a comparison of earned value with planned and actual costs (or revenues), broke down by specified periods of time. To access this report, click on the Report tab or hit the tab number ('5') and then click on the 'View report' button next to the Earned Value report preview. This will bring up the report with the first day of the current month as the default start (From) date and today's date as the default end (To) date. The report will be automatically refreshed when one of its parameters changes.

This report is available for folios and portfolios, when Earned Value Management is activated.

The report first presents a bar chart showing three bars for each selected period: a blue bar indicating the earned value, a green bar indicating the planned costs (or revenues), a another bar indicating actual. The actuals are either costs (red bars) or revenues (yellow bars). Hovering the bars will open a tooltip showing the precise amounts. The dates labels on x-axis can be clicked to navigate to the detailed planned, actual and earned value information for the period ending on that date.
