What are the benefits of using the Dashboard functionality?
Question Link
Answer
The Dashboard functionality offers the advantage of bringing projects together in order to analyze them, without having to manually insert them as subprojects into a master file expressly created for this purpose.The feature is especially useful to observe resources – it is actually a frequent scenario that in overlapping projects considered individually resources are not overallocated, but when considered as a whole, shared resources across multiple projects are assigned to more work than the normal working capacity.

What is ACWP and how it is calculated?
Question Link
Answer

ACWP represents the cost incurred for work performed until status date (or today date if status date not set).By default, how and when ACWP is calculated depends on the assigned resources’ Standard Rate, Overtime Rate, Per Use Cost, and Cost accrual settings in the Resource Information dialog box, as well as the actual work reported, fixed costs for tasks, and the status date or today’s date.Project Plan 365 can calculate ACWP even if you do not have resources assigned. In this case, the calculations are based on progress (percentage of completion or actual work) and fixed costs to date for the task.

How do I create a dashboard file?
Question Link
Answer

Before creating a Dashboard, you need to make sure that your projects are uniform:

  1. Resources shared across multiple projects must be identical in all projects (Name, Calendar, Max. Units, Std. Rate, Cost / Use,**** etc.) in order to be correctly aggregated.
  2. All included projects must have the same calendar options.
  3. Work must be entered in the same unit type in all projects (and selected as Work Unit in the New Dashboard dialog).
  4. All projects should have the same currency (and selected as dashboard Currency in the New Dashboard dialog). If a different currency is selected, no conversion will be performed.

Go to menu Report – Dashboard – Select the desired settings – click Save.
