Contents

Field	Description
Include All Employees	Select this check box to include all active employees on the report. If you do, the report includes employees not budgeted in plans and employees whose budgeted hours do not fall within the periods reported on.
Include Budgeted Employees	Select this check box to include employees (named resources) included in plans and use the lookup to select them. Budgeted employees for a plan include not only employees with planned hours and amounts but also any employees who were not explicitly assigned to the plan but for whom job-to-date (JTD) actual charges exist for planned work breakdown structure (WBS) elements.
Include Labor Category Generic Resources	Select this check box to include generic resource categories (for example, an architect or a geologist) and use the lookup to select them.
Include Labor Code Generic Resources	Select this check box to include generic resources based on labor codes and use the lookup to select them.
Include Tasks with No Resources Assigned	Select this check box to include tasks that have no named resources or generic resource categories assigned.
Use Organization From	Indicate whether you want the report to use the resources' organizations or the plans' organizations. When you group the report by organization or by an organization level, DPS groups by the employee or generic resource organizations or by project or opportunity organizations, based on your selection in this field.
Include Employee Skill	To restrict the employees included on the report to those with a particular skill, select the skill. The report only includes employees for whom the selected skill is listed on the Experience tab of the Employees hub.

Graph

Field	Description
Show Graph	Select this check box to include a graph of one of the following types of data for each employee: If you select Hours in Format, DPS graphs forecasted hours. If you select Cost Amount in Format, DPS graphs forecasted cost amounts. If you select Billing Amount in Format, DPS graphs forecasted billing amounts. If you select Revenue in Format, DPS graphs forecasted revenue amounts. If you select Percentage or Alerts in Format or if you select Exclude Non-working Days, this option is not available. Limiting the Number of Employees If the graph is difficult to read because the report includes too many employees, use the employee lookup for the Include Budgeted Employees option to select a smaller group of employees.
Height (Inches)	If you select Show Graph, enter the height of the graph in inches.
