Indices ReportThe Indice report presents the Variances, Performance and Estimate At Completion graphs that will help you analyse your project performance. And as you can expect, you can get a printable version of it using the report's action menu or by hitting "p" while consulting it. 
Report Parameters
Variance IndicesThis chart demonstrates the performance trends. A clear way to visualize if the project performance has been improving 
| CV | Cost Variance | This index (CV) determines if the project is under or over the budget.
It is computed by subtracting the Actual Cost (AC) from the Earned Value(EV).
A negative value indicates that the project is over budget. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the AC is 11,000.00$ and the EV is 8,000.00$ then the CV will be 3,000.00$ at the end of this period |
|---|
| SV | Schedule Variance | This index (SV) determines whether the project is ahead of or behind schedule.
It is computed by subtracting the Planned Value(PV) to date from the Earned Value(EV) to date.
A negative value indicates that the project is behind schedule. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the PV is 10,000.00$ and the EV is 8,000.00$ then the SV will be 2,000.00$ at the end of this period |
|---|
| VAC | Variance At Completion | This index (VAC) determines whether the project will finish under or over budget. The Amount shown is the difference between the total budgeted cost and the Estimate at Completion
It is computed by subtracting the Estimate at Completion (EAC)from the Budget at Completion(BAC).
A negative value indicates how much more resources will need to be injected to achieve the project goal. Ex: at the end of the fourth week the EAC is 250,000.00$ and the BAC is 200,000.00$ then the VAC will be 50,000.00$ |

This chart demonstrates the variance trends. It displays the cumulative project cost, schedule, and at complete variances. 
| CPI | Cost Performance Index | This index (CPI) determines how efficiently the team is using its resources.
It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Actual Cost.
A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency. |
|---|
| SPI | Schedule Performance Index | This index (SPI) determines how efficiently the project team is using its time.
It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Planned Value to date.
A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency. |
|---|
| TCPI | To-Complete Performance Index | This index (TCPI) determines the efficiency that must be achieved on the remaining work for a project to meet the Budget at Completion.
It is computed by dividing the work remaining (BAC - EV to date) by the budget remaining (BAC - AC to date).
A value greater than one indicates that the performance must improve. |

| TOL | Tolerance | The tolerance you have selected in your portfolio configuration |

Estimate At Completion This chart demonstrates the risk level trends. It displays the EAC (Estimate At Completion) based on three different approaches as describe below. 
| EAC | Estimate At Completion | This method assumes what the project has experienced to date can be expected to continue in the future. |
|---|
| EAC [budget] | Estimate At Completion Based on budget | This method accepts the actual project performance to date and predicts that all future ETC(Estimate to Complete) work will be accomplished at the budgeted rate. |
|---|
| EAC [CPIxSPI] | Estimate At Completion Based on cpi and spi indices | This method assumes that the ETC work will be performed at an efficiency rate that considers both the cost and schedule performance indices. |
|---|
| BAC | Budget at Completion | |
|---|
| TOL | Tolerance | The tolerance you have selected in your portfolio configuration |
