Report project for review and analysis

As your project is running, you may want to prepare reports for the project data. The data enables different people to review the project progress and health and perform analysis.

Create shared dashboard pages for your project

PPM provides a set of portlets for the Project Management to display project execution related information. To share the information, you can create a module, add portlets in one or separate dashboard pages in the module, and make the module accessible to a specific group of people. Then these people can view your project information in their shared dashboard pages.

For details on creating and sharing a module, see Creating Portlets and Modules.
