Security Settings and Labor Cost Amounts

The Vision Security settings for Labor Cost Rates/Amounts impact how cost data is displayed within different levels of the project's Work Breakdown Structure on the Labor Planning page in Navigator.

The Accounting tab in Configuration > Security > Roles determines the role's access rights to labor costs rates and amounts in Navigator. Based on the selected access rights for the Labor Cost Rates/Amounts option, some fields in Navigator will display *** instead of the actual amount when the plan's Budget Type is set to Cost in Navigator. This may impact how the project's amounts summarize because the cost may not be included in the calculation.

Your system administrator selects from the following options for Navigator labor cost rates and amounts.
  • No Access: The role cannot access cost rates or cost amounts on screens and reports except for the contract. Navigator displays *** instead of blank cost amounts. However, if the Include Cost Amounts in Spent and Profit Calculations option is selected, the cost amounts will display for the contract, profit, and EAC multiplier in the Navigator WBS.

  • Subtotals Only: The role can access cost amounts on subtotal lines on reports and screens, but not on detail lines. Navigator displays all amounts except details, where ****** will display instead.

  • Final Totals Only: The role can access cost amounts on grand total lines on reports and screens. Navigator displays *** instead of blank amounts for the detail report lines, screens, or subtotal report lines. However, if the Include Cost Amounts in Spent and Profit Calculations option is selected, all amounts will display at the project (top) level of the work breakdown structure but *** will display at lower levels.

  • Full Access: The role can access all cost rates and cost amounts.

If there are issues with your access rights to amounts, contact your system administrator.
