Effort Trend Report
This article provides an overview about Effort Trend Report.
Overview
The Effort Trend report shows the accumulation of Effort logged against all projects.
Accessing This Report
- Click the hamburger menu
> Reports > All Reports.
- In the Member or Team Reports section, click Effort Trend.
Prerequisites
- All Digital.ai Agility trend reports require at least two data points. If not enough data is available, the report may be blank. Depending on the duration you select in the filters, at least one complete period of data must be available to draw a trend line. When selecting days, this means that the minimum duration is actually 2 days, which will include 2 data points.
- Your Show Weekend report settings may affect how much data is selected. For example, if you choose two days as duration and one day is a Saturday or Sunday, and you have elected to not Show Weekends, then you may not have sufficient data to show a trend.
