Rollup Reports Overview

Project, Resource, Labor Assignment, and Financial Assignment Rollup reports summarize values from their basic record type (e.g., projects, resources, assignments) to values in fields specified by the user.

There is no limit on the number of fields selected for a rollup, i.e. rollups can be specified to any depth.

Project, Resource, and Labor Assignment rollups are in the PMO area; Financial Assignment rollup is in the Financials ($) area.

All rollup pages have a summary at the bottom that support color analysis.

All rollup pages have common or similar controls, buttons and behavior.

You can define the rollup fields you wish to group your data by, using the instructions below:

1) Click the Define Rollup button to launch the Define Rollup dialog.

2) Select one or more fields from the left pane and click the arrow right button.
This moves the fields to the Selected Columns pane at the right side of the dialog.

(For example, for a Project Rollup, you might want to roll up by Manager. For an Assignment Rollup, you might want to roll up by Required Skill.)

To remove fields from the rollup hierarchy, select one or more fields from the right pane and click the arrow left button.
This moves the fields to the Available Fields pane at the left side of the dialog.

Note: For Project Rollups, the available rollup fields come from the Project database. For Resource Rollups, they come from the Resource database. For Assignment Rollups, they can come from the Project, Resources, or Assignments database. For Financial Assignment Rollups, they come from the Project Database.

Field Filters

You can also use field level filters. Click on a dropdown next to any column header and choose “Filters.” The filter type will depend on how it is configured for that column in Administration (text search, list selection, or numeric selection).
