Roll up data from child boxes

Roll up data from child boxes (old navigation)

Resources module 

Portfolio admins can analyze the capacity and workload of individual resources on the portfolio level. In one view, they can see the workload of all employees from projects included in the portfolio.

This provides easy access to information about over- or under-allocated resources. Teams or individuals can be added to the Portfolio or Project (lower) level.

Data rollup 

  • Data about tasks is rolled up from lower-level boxes (tasks from Own scopes under that None scope box).

  • Box status has no impact (closed boxes are included)

  • Data about teams, teams' members (or task assignees), and their memberships are taken from a Portfolio box and are rolled up from lower-level boxes (child boxes on all levels in the box hierarchy).

Limitations

  • Task data from Own scope under Own scope, Own scope under a Sub-scope box is not included in the rollup.
