Overview
Use this portlet to analyze project information in row and column format for a particular project or project group. Depending on your information needs, you can customize the portlet to select the columns of information you want to appear, and specify the display format to analyze data in a way that is meaningful to you.
The portlet displays the information you select down to the WBS level for all projects included in the current dashboard filter. For example, if you filter a dashboard by a portfolio, the Project Statistics portlet displays data for all projects included in that portfolio.

Tips
- Information displayed in the Project Statistics portlet is based on summarized data, so it is current as of the last date the summarizer was run for a project. To determine this date, add the column Last Summarized Date, which is available under the Summary section of the Available Columns list when you customize the portlet. However, activity-level information is based on live data.
- To specify filter criteria for a dashboard, use the Filter by list at the top of the dashboard tab. For any dashboard you create, you can select to filter data by portfolio, project, or project code; for multi-user and global dashboards created by other users, your ability to change the filter is determined by the Restrict users from changing the dashboard filter setting on the Customize Dashboards page.
