Project report configuration

Defines one project report.

Project report configuration | Field | Effect | |---|---| | bexio project | The project the report measures. Its work packages and their estimates come from bexio | | Configuration name | Shown in the report picker and printed as the report's title. Leave it empty to keep using the bexio project's name, so a renamed project carries through | | Active | Off removes this report from the picker without deleting it | | Client services | Only time booked under a selected client service counts — in the figures, the charts and the listed entries alike | | Default view | What the dashboard opens on: a date the project is measured to (as of today, as of end of last quarter, …) or a period to highlight inside that same report (last quarter, this year, …) | | Contact | The contact printed in the sender block of the PDF | | Disclaimer | A disclaimer printed at the end of the PDF | | PDF language | The language this report's PDF is written in. Workspace default follows the PDF layout setting; pick a language to pin this one report for a reader who does not share it |

Budget

Optional. Off reports hours only.

Field Effect
Arrangement Fixed price for the whole scope, or time and materials at an hourly rate
Fixed price (CHF) The agreed price for the whole scope
Hourly rate (CHF) The agreed rate every booked hour is billed at
Cost ceiling (CHF) Optional, time and materials only. The maximum the project may bill. Leave it empty for an uncapped mandate — the report then shows the running total without a percentage
Change orders Additions agreed after the original order. They raise the fixed price, or the cost ceiling, and keep the original amount visible beside the new total

Sections

Which parts of the report are shown. Turning one off hides it in the dashboard and, where the section exists there, in the PDF.

Section Shows
Estimates The progress against the bexio work-package estimates. Off reports hours only: no progress bar, no estimate columns
Work packages One row per work package with the hours booked against its estimate
Employees Hours per person on this project, and each person's share
Hour reportings The individual bexio time entries the numbers are built from, narrowed to the highlighted period when one is selected. Dashboard only — the PDF never appends the entry list

Views

A configuration does not fix how the report is read. Every date and every period is chosen in the report; this field only sets which one it opens on — useful for a report that is always read a quarter at a time. See project report → the two ways to read it.
