Procedure

To summarize projects using an existing hierarchy identification, proceed as follows:

  1. In the Information System area menu, choose Tools ® Summarization ® Using Classification.
  2. The Controlling area dialog box appears.
  3. Enter the controlling area for which you want to carry out project summarization.
  4. The Project Summarization screen is displayed.
  5. Enter the following data:

Use the Hierarchy overview pushbutton to obtain a list of the hierarchies active in the controlling area.

Choose Extras ® Summarized hierarchies to obtain a list of the summarization hierarchies already summarized.

If you only want to summarize a subhierarchy, choose the arrow icon. The subhierarchy dialog box appears. The system displays a list, showing all the characteristics for which a summarization is carried out. Enter the characteristic values for which you want a project summarization now.
  1. Set Summarization run indicator and choose Execute.

The system displays a dialog box, where you confirm the project summarization.

Select the Background processing indicator if you want to run the summarization in the background.

The next screen is an overview, showing the hierarchy nodes processed.

Note

It is possible to generate summarization hierarchies with no data. You can then evaluate the hierarchies in, for example, the hierarchy reports. The data is read interactively and assigned to the appropriate view. For performance reasons, we recommend that you use this procedure in very large structures. Use Tools to access the view in the hierarchy reports.
