Bar legends

From DB 39.5.14

Symbol	Meaning	Color	Comment
	Requested dates		Requested start and Requested end are defined in the Key dates area in the corresponding core data module (Project Core Data, Idea Core Data, Proposal Core Data, Program Core Data).
	Calculated dates	The color of the bar is determined by the code of the planning object. Code A Code B Code C Code D Code E	Calc. start and Calc. end of a planning object are calculated by clicking on the calculation button or by selecting the respective menu item. In the Planning Objects (In Table Form) module, the code of planning objects is defined and can be changed; for projects and proposals this can also be done in the Project Core Data and Proposal Core Data modules.
	Actual dates	The bar is shaded in white. The background color depends on the Project Code.	Actual start and, if available Actual end, otherwise Latest time recording date of a project are calculated by clicking on the calculation button or by selecting the respective menu item.
	Float		Float is available if the calculated end date (Calc. end) is earlier than the requested end date (Requested end).
	Date delay		A date delay occurs if the calculated end date (Calc. end) is later than the requested end date (Requested end). The date delay bar immediately follows the bar for calculated dates and is customized with a color gradient so that the red color has various shades.
	Master milestones	Without date delay With date delay	Tasks are defined as master milestones in the Schedule module.

Date Delay

Information

• In the Date delay area, all main projects are displayed, which have a date delay (Calc. end is later than Requested end).
  • Projects are displayed in categories of up to 5 days delay and over 5 days delay.
  • The Deviation field contains a traffic light.

Budget Overrun: costs

Information

• In the Budget overrun area, all main projects for which the expected total costs (Total costs) exceed the budget (Cost budget) are displayed.
  • Projects are displayed in categories of up to 5% overrun and over 5% overrun.
  • The Total costs - budget deviation and % costs deviation: budget-total fields contain a traffic light function.

Budget Overrun: effort

Information

• In the Budget overrun area, all main projects for which the expected total effort (Total effort) exceeds the budget (Effort budget) are displayed.
  • Projects are displayed in categories of up to 5% overrun and over 5% overrun.
  • The Effort deviation: total - budget and % effort deviation: total - budget fields contain a traffic light function.

Contact Project Manager

Information

• In all of the areas mentioned above, the project manager of the affected projects can be contacted via e-mail in case of inquiries or need for clarification.

Procedure

Note

• This function is also available via the Inform project manager context menu command (right-click on the required project). In this case, the Send Info module is only opened for the project that was clicked on.
