Project Insight Version 10.1 Feature Updates
Additional Dashboard Features
Saved Dashboards
Many of us fulfill more than one role within our organization. This may require more than one type of dashboard to use on a regular basis. Now, you have the ability to save multiple preferred dashboard layouts. Build a dashboard by choosing one of the 12 provided layouts, choosing the items you wish to view and click on ‘Save Dashboard’ at the bottom of the page. You can easily access your list of customized dashboards under the Dashboard menu.
Just like the reports within Project Insight, there is also the option to share a saved dashboard to keep uniformity among your team. To manage your various dashboards, simply navigate to the ‘Miscellaneous’ tab under the Reports.
More Charts
Easily access a variety of charts to add to your dashboard for the display options on your ‘Dashboard’. View the entire list of available charts below:
- Issues by Company Default
- Issues by Issue Type
- Issues by Priority
- Issues by Severity
- Issues by State
- Issues Closed This Month vs Last Month

My Work Options
With the ability to save multiple dashboards, your My Work section now has its own set of filters to customize what shows up. Simply navigate to your Dashboard view and a small gear icon will appear at the top right corner of your ‘My Work’ box in the left navigation. Click on the icon to pull up the various filters for each item in your ‘My Work’ section.
RSS Feeds
Not everybody lives in their email inbox. To prevent any notifications from getting buried, now you can provide your team with the ability to view their ‘My Work’ list and system notifications in their RSS feed.
System administrators can enable RSS for ‘Notifications’ and ‘My Work’ on the Dashboard by going to the System Configurations Setting, then the Notifications tab. Scroll to the bottom and by enabling this system-wide, a user may go to the Dashboard create a link for the RSS feed. The icon to create a link will be on the top right corner of the ‘Notifications’ and ‘My Work’ boxes on the dashboard.
Agile Features
As Agile methodology gains more popularity, so came the demand for more agile features like burn down charts.
Track “Burned Hours”
-A layer invoked by clicking on the Burned Hours column in the cell for the task you want to enter in burned hours.
-You are able to enter one entry per day for hours burned on that task for that day.
Burn down chart
Create a burn down chart at the project level. The time scale is editable to day, week or month. The graph will plot three lines along the hours (y axis) and time in days (x axis).
-Planned burned down (calculated from our standard allocation algorithm).
-Remaining hours burn down
-Actual burn down
S-Curve
An S-Curve measures performance over time showing plan versus actuals as they accumulate. The S-Curve graph has been added to the project allocation and resource allocation reports.
This time-phased report will give you visual information on your team’s performance.
Invoice Report Update
Now you may create invoices even faster with the ability to group by resource type and more.
Enter Time Against a Project or Company on Time Entry Grid
Before version 10.1, non-project time was entered on the Time Worksheet. Now, all time can be entered on the Time Entry Grid. To enter your time against a project or company, simply go to the display options and choose to ‘Group Tasks by Project’ and use the column selector to choose companies you would like to enter time on.
Customizable Nightly Reports
Incorporate your organization’s look and feel to your team’s nightly reports. The nightly report now sends out as HTML and the data on them can be configured just like the auto-alerts!
Embedded Training Videos
Just getting started in Project Insight? New team members will find embedded training videos in various areas of the software to help them get started in the right direction.
Updated Mobile Capabilities
Forget to submit your time for the week? Project Insight now allows a user to enter both time and expenses on a company, project or task level from the mobile interface. The default view chosen and any custom field values created in the classic interface will appear in the mobile interface as well.
