Use the Activity Dashboard
As soon as you (or other project members) create activities for a project, an Activity Dashboard becomes available. This dashboard can show data for all activities in the project or for a single activity at a time.
You can select a different activity to review in the list at the upper right.
Use this dashboard to review these default widgets:
% Complete - Review percentages for the remaining, completed, and estimated volumes for the specified activity type and subtype.
Work remaining - Shows the work yet to be completed broken down over the last seven days (most recent 7 days or the last 7 days of a finished activity). If the activity is not yet started, this shows the same value for each of the last 7 days.
Cut/Fill Map - Displays the visual cut/fill map for a single selected activity.
Target vs. Actual Working Rate - Actual work rate is the work done divided by the actual working days. This shows you how much work is being done on average per every day worked. Target work rate is the total work estimate/total calendar days to complete the estimate. When Actual Working Rate is viewed for the first day of an Activity this will count as a full day.
You can input a number for the Target Working Rate. This would match up to the actual rate when you type in this number rather than deriving the target working rate from two dates. This, in turn, calculates a date in the future that is calendar days.
Because the actual working rate is calculated using only the days when earth was moved that matched the subtype of the activity, non-working/weekend days and days when earth was not moved due to working on another area of the site are not used.
Recommendation: Enter the Start Day and a target working rate, which will thus compare a proper target vs actual working rate.
Select Dashboard > Activity Dashboard.
Review the Percentage complete widget:
% Complete - You can click the progress bar to open the cut/fill Map view of the selected activity area.
Cut remaining - Calculated based on elevation data.
Cut completed - Calculated as (Estimated Cut - Cut Remaining).
Estimated cut - Estimated volume that was shown on the Create Activity (1/2) screen (calculated based on the selected Survey, Target Design & the Custom Area).
Click the % Complete progress bar to open the cut/fill Map view of the selected activity area.
When you do this from the progress bar to the map, the total remaining value on the Activity Dashboard is consistent with the Total Volume value in the Remaining tab, but the Total Completed value (on the Activity Dashboard) may not be in sync with the Total Volume on the Completed tab (Cut Completed = (Estimated Cut - Cut Remaining)).
Tip: Draw a profile through the activity area to see the progress of work based on different surveyed surfaces versus the design
Select a new activity in the list in the upper right.
If needed, click the Filter icon to narrow activities on the dashboard to those Started, Not Started, or Finished.
Click Apply.
If needed, export the Activity Dashboard as a PDF by clicking the Generate PDF icon.
The Activity Dashboard widgets act as filters using the activity's specific parameters. When you click the progress bar to open the Map view for an activity you can set additional filters, run queries, create profile views, and run reports.
See work remaining for an entire activity
By default, the Work Remaining widget on the Activity page shows the last seven days of work. If you click the Work Remaining widget for an activity, you can see the work remaining for the entire activity. While in this view, you can select a different activity to see the work remaining “burndown” for it.
The Work Remaining widget appears for all cut, fill, and cut/fill activities. Within progress volumes, the entire history of activity progress is shown, along with the start and end dates, design name, total estimated quantity, target and actual working rates, and working days. This view allows you to view trends over the activity’s timeline. The activity shown can be easily changed using a drop-down list. The table view provides a numerical view with a CSV file download option, while the map gives a current or historic view of the cut/fill map for the work remaining.
