Properties Tab
The Properties tab contains the following fields:
- Name: (Read-only) This field is populated with the value that you entered when you created the earned value scenario.
- Description: (Optional) Enter an applicable description.
- Activity Sheet: (Read-only) This field is populated with the value that you entered when you created the earned value scenario.
- Graph Type: Select the applicable graph to display, Data Date Based or Period Based.
- Progress Measurement Technique: (Read-only) This field is populated with the value that you entered when you created the earned value scenario.
- Template ID: Select the applicable ID, 1 through 6. The Template ID is a tag assigned by you when you add earned value analysis (EVA) data to the Cost or WBS sheet. It ensures that you can reference the selected EVA data elsewhere within the system.
- Cost Sheet Column: (Optional) Select the applicable Single or Logical Source. This field remains editable so that you can update the source for the Earned Value Analysis.
In the EVA Sheet, the Actuals amount will be rolled up by associated WBS when you select a new Cost-type BP (CBS or WBS) column as the Cost Sheet Column source. You can use filter to see the Actuals associated with the selected WBS codes.
The Data Date is important in calculations because the percentage of performance completed in earned value is calculated up to that date. If you have Actuals after that Data Date that show up in calculations, the Cost Performance Index (CPI) will be incorrect.
Note The logical sources will show the entire cost data regardless of the data date.
If a business process is configured and selected for the Cost Sheet Column field, the Technique for computing estimate to complete (ETC) block appears below the Cost Sheet Column field. This block lets you select the appropriate ETC calculation method.
