CRM Project Summary Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

Because this is a customer relationship management (CRM) report, you can include both default sections and user-defined sections. You cannot select columns for default sections but you do select the columns for user-defined sections:

  • Default sections: The report can include one or more default sections. Use the options in Sections to Include on the General tab to select the default sections. You cannot change the columns included in each default section.

    For descriptions of the columns in the default sections, see the table in this topic.

  • User-defined sections: To set up one or more user-defined sections, click the User Defined Sections tab. Use the Columns tab to assign columns to each user-defined section. You can select any column on this tab, whether or not that column is also included in a default section. User-defined sections can appear in addition to, or in place of, the default sections for the report.

    See the help topic for the Columns tab of the Project List for descriptions of the columns available for user-defined sections.

Field Description
Project This column displays the project number.
Phase This column displays the phase number.
Task This column displays the task number.
Name This column displays the project name, as specified in the Projects hub.
Charge Type

This column displays one of the following charge types for the project:

  • R:Regular projects are revenue-producing. Costs charged to regular projects include direct labor, direct expense, and reimbursable expense. DPS retains the detail for a regular project for the life of the project.
  • H:Overhead projects are not revenue-producing. Costs charged to overhead projects include indirect labor and indirect expense. DPS distributes the total cost of these projects to regular projects during overhead allocation. Typical overhead projects can include General Overhead, Vacation, Sick Leave, Holiday, and Civic Duty. DPS resets job-to-date costs to zero for overhead projects when you initialize for a new fiscal year.
  • P: Promotional projects track the cost to acquire a job. If you obtain the contract, you can create a new regular project and transfer the detail to it to be billed or tracked. A promotional project is similar to an overhead project. However, DPS does not zero out job-to-date costs at the start of each fiscal year for promotional projects.
