Flexible Analysis

Flexible Analysis is a method of analyzing a project's costs at these levels:

• Project

• Summary activity

• Activity

• Source type

• Category

• Subcategory

The Flexible Analysis page provides a view of activity costs based on the analysis groups that are specified in a flexible analysis template. Flexible Analysis is an interactive tool that works effectively if you want to view one data item at a time, such as costs by source type or category. The feature does not provide an overall financial analytic of the project.

You must create a template before you can perform flexible analysis. Templates specify the analysis types that the system uses to gather project costs. You can save a template as a user default to save time performing flexible analyses. You can modify flexible analysis templates as required.
