Minyaa Suite provides reports all based on the same agregation mechanism.
They differ by the nature of data displayed or the way how they are retrieved.
Flat Views and SubTask
Using
Flat Views, the reports may display Issues with Sub-Tasks.
In such cases, the default behavior of the Flat View is to display the values associated to leaf of the agregation tree,
assuming that each parent node is just a calculation of leaf's values.
But, the both (Issues and Sub-Tasks) are able to have logged Work, and then the value displayed
in Flat View is only the Sub-Task's Spent Time.
To avoid to display only the Sub-Task's Spent Time and be able to see Issue's Spent Time,
a new parameter has been introduced in Reports : the
Flattened Level (let me know if you find a best term !).
The
Flattened Level expressed the depth of node to flat when displaying the Flat View.
Defaultly, all nodes are flattened.
For example, if your report provides an agregation based on :
and the display Issues have sub-task, you will be able to force the view to flat node only on the 3 first nodes.
Hopping that this explanation is comprehensive.
Reports displaying Spent Time against Estimates
Reports Workload Project displaying Spent Time against Estimates.
- WorkloadProject Workload Report (Project) : Calculations are done, taking in account the spent Time of all project's issue, not only the identified one.
- WorkloadOnPeriod Workload Report on Period : Same as WorkloadProject, but taking in account only the spent Time of identified issues.
- WorkloadIssueReport Workload Report (Issue) : Same as WorkloadOnPeriod, but criteria may be selected one by one.
In theses reports, the information displayed are the following :
- Time Spent : Sum of entries of Users on the specified period
- Cumulated :Sum of all entries of Users on all issues
- Estimated :Sum of all Initialy Estimated Time for Issue concerned by the period (WorkloadIssueReport) or all issues (WorkloadProject)
- Remaining Time :Sum of Remaining Estimated Time (entered or deduced)
- Required Time :Cumulated + Remaining Time
- Gap :Estimated - Planned
