Plan vs Actual and Trends follow the dates and project you pick

The Plan vs Actual tab on your production dashboard now shows how the dates you picked went. Choose Last Week and the cards, the charts and the This Period table cover that week: the hours the schedule called for, the hours booked, and the work finished. This applies to production dashboards set up with the revised Plan vs Actual tab.

A new Finished vs Spent card puts those side by side: the share of the budget finished in those dates against the share spent. Green means the work finished was worth more than the hours it took. Every card opens a project-by-project breakdown for the same dates, and clicking a project or a bar opens a page that follows the dates too.

Two tables sit one above the other. Plan vs Actual: This Period covers the selected dates, and Plan vs Actual: All Time covers the whole job. They share the same columns in the same order, so a stage reads straight across from one to the other: % complete, % spent, variance, hours scheduled or budgeted, spent, remaining and earned. Every row opens down to the order, and Group by on the table switches between stage then order and order then stage. Charts that still cover the whole job say All time under their title.

A single step estimated at more than 1,000 hours is left out of planned, earned and budget, and the Planned Hours card shows how many were left out, so one mistyped estimate can't swing the page.

On the Trends tab, choosing a project now shows that project's finished orders, the hours on each and the running average, and the figures above the chart follow the same project. Trends also counts each order at the level the work was done: where an order is split into sub-orders, each sub-order is its own point on the chart, and where it isn't, the order is. An order with some work of its own and some in sub-orders shows both, each with its own hours.
