Summarize Activity Progress
Progress for Summary and Hammock Activities
The progress on summary bars is calculated based on its sub-activities. Therefore, the progress weight is used. On the Tools > Options > Progress tab, you can decide according to which model the progress for activity summaries is ascertained.
By the progress weight, each sub-activity gets a number of points and to get the progress in %, the weights on performed activities are defined by the weights on all activities.
Ways to access
Select a summary activity in a view. In the Object Properties pane, click the Progress tab.
Options
Total - This is the calculated progress weight from the sub-activities of the summary. The way how this is calculated is set in the Options dialog - Tab Progress. It can be done based on user progress weight, schedule information, cost, income or labor information.
Performed - This is the calculated progress weight from the sub-activities applying the progress %. Activities with advanced progress methods are then measured as 0 or 100.
(%) - This is the calculated by Performed / Total * 100
Custom progress weight - enter the user progress weight for a summary activity. This gets only evaluated if the option Include summary progress is activated in the Options dialog - Tab Progress.
Summary progress - Enter the percentage progress for the summary activity. This field is only visible if the option Do not calculate summary progress is activated in the Options dialog - Tab Progress.
Example
Assuming the progress weight is calculated on Costs. The Activity summary contains 3 subordinate activities each with 10 0000 €, the value in the Activity summary is therefore 30 000
Progress = 8 000/30 000 * 100 = 26,67%
On the summary itself, there are also 10 000 € allocated. If the option in the Tools > Options > Progress tab Include summaries progress weight then the weight from the summary is added.
Progress = (8 000 + 10 000 * 26,7 %) / 40 000 = 26,7 %
If we set the option on Progress on Summary to To report date then we take for progress of summary the span between start of report date divided by total duration. Assuming this value is 40 %
So total progress on summary = (8 000 + 10 000 * 0,40) / 40 000 = 0,30.
