Field Description
Report Name You can change the default report name.
Project Base Rollup Use Project Base Rollup to summarize the report information for projects that use some common numbering scheme. For example, if the first five characters of your project number represent a master contract, you can consolidate, or roll up, information for all projects that have a common master contract number.

The Project Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your project numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 10-digit project number, the slider box displays 1234567890. A project number can also include up to two delimiters (for example, 12-345.67890).

You can roll up the base project and still display information by phase or task. If you do, note the following:

  • A phase total is the total of all occurrences of that phase across the base project.

  • A task total is the total of all occurrences of that task across the base project.

To roll up project numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

Subtotal or Summarize on Base Number If you set a project base rollup, use the field immediately below Project Base Rollup to select how you want Vision to display the project data:
  • Subtotal on Base Number

  • Summarize on Base Number

Phase Base Rollup Use Phase Base Rollup to summarize the report information for phases that use some common numbering scheme. The Phase Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your phase numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 7-digit phase number, the slider box displays 1234567. A phase number can also include one delimiter (for example, 12345.12).

You can roll up the base phase and still display information by task. If you do, note that a task total is the total of all occurrences of that task across the base project. For example, the total for Task 00001 is the total of all Task 00001s in the base project.

To show only phases and tasks, use the Project Base Rollup option slider to cover the project number completely.

To roll up phase numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

Task Base Rollup Use Task Base Rollup to summarize information for tasks that use some common numbering scheme. For example, if the first two characters of your task number represent a department, you can consolidate, or roll up, information for all tasks that have a common department number. The Task Base Rollup slider box displays the number of characters in your task numbers. For example, if your firm uses a 3-digit task number, the slider box displays 123.

This task base rollup is available only if you use tasks.

To show only tasks on the current report, use the Project Base Rollup slider and Phase Base Rollup slider to cover the project number and phase number completely.

To roll up task numbers, drag a slider to cover the characters that you want rolled up. You can drag a slider from the left side of the slider box, the right side, or both sides.

Billing Group Billing groups are used to combine projects together for the purpose of billing a client.

Enter the name of a main project for a billing group, or click and select one or more main projects in the Project Lookup dialog box.

If you use Multicompany and you bill a client for a set of projects worked on by multiple companies within your enterprise, the company that owns the main project in the billing group is the company that generates the invoice for the entire billing group. Use the Billing Group List to review a billing group's settings, its main project, and a list of its sub-projects.
