Details

Select the Combined check box to display combined lower level project details in the grid. When this check box is selected, no changes to the current behavior except the FY/Period columns are driven by the Date Range selected in the header.

Date Range

This is a required field. Click the calendar icon to set the date range that will drive the FY/Period columns displayed on the report.

Include Inactive Resources

Select this checkbox to include inactive resources in the report, or clear the checkbox to exclude them from it.

When the checkbox is clear, inactive resources are fully excluded only if the respective termination dates precede the selected reporting period.

If termination dates overlap with the reporting period, inactive resources are still included, but labor details display only through those periods that contain the respective termination dates, not in any periods following those dates.

When termination dates are later than the reporting period, labor details, where found, are included in all periods of the report even if the checkbox is clear.
Note: Termination dates for inactive resources also display in report results.
