NEW! TrueVision™ Project Health Scorecard

Part of TrueVision™ Business Intelligence, ConstructionOnline's Project Health Scorecard delivers an intelligent, in-depth view of project performance & progress. 

Fully customizable Project Health Settings & Thresholds provide flexibility that allows users to prioritize the calculations, configurations, and views most important to their individual construction business. 

PROJECT SCORE

Project Score Column displays aggregate Project Score Value according to Project Scorecard Settings. 

• The score column can be set to display - 
  • Raw Score: Calculated by summing all active project scoring values
  • Raw Score Rank: Indicates each project's position relative to Raww Score value
  • Percent Score: Calculated by dividing Raw Score by Maximum Possible Score, then multiplying by 100
  • Percentile: Calculated by applying the formula - (n/N)*100, where n is the number of projects in the list with a lower score and N is the total number of projects in the company list
• By default, the Project Health Scorecard Table loads with Projects sorted in alphabetical order. However, an Ascending/Descending sort can be applied using the values from the Project Score Column. 
• Project Score Popover provides access to Raw Project Score, Graph Display, Column Display Controls, Scorecard Settings, and "Go to Project" navigation. 
• Users can navigate directly to an individual Project from the Project Health Scorecard by clicking the Project Name, which is hyperlinked to the individual Project Overview.
