Portlets and Reports › Monitor Project Performance

Monitor Project Performance

You can monitor project performance using the Project Dashboard page. You can view summary views of project labor and team utilization data in graph and table formats on this page. The data on this page is read-only. Dashboard data is drawn from the information you enter in the task and resource assignment fields, and on data submitted in staff member timesheets. The dashboard is automatically updated when you add or post new information to the project.

By default, this page displays the following portlets:

• General portlet. This view displays the basic information about the project such as name, ID, start date, and finish date. The icon in the Status Indicator field displays the project status.
• Labor Resource Effort portlet. This view displays the project latest actuals, ETC, and allocation information.
• Team Utilization portlet. This view displays total effort per resource across all of the project tasks to which the resource is assigned. You can drill down from this view to view utilization by individual resource and task.

You can use these portlets to view resource allocation and availability information and to compare actuals to estimates. A change in the appearance or data in the General and Labor Resource Effort portlets is disallowed. But you can configure some of the settings on the Team Utilization graph.

Add or remove portlets to customize the page. Your CA Clarity PPM administrator can do so from the Dashboard tab of the Project Default Layout portlet page using Studio.
