11.3 Defining Scope for a Group of Projects from the Project Tree:
(May print combined or individual reports.)
This will likely be the most common usage of Scope. You can create Scope Definition that is
named it such a way that you know it is from Projects Tree Node such as "Camps-All" or "DayCamps" or “Harry Brown” for staff responsibility etc. Remember that Scope Definitions can
easily be changed or deleted at any time. Likewise the detail of the Project Tree can be modified
and thus change the values a Scope Definition will apply to reports.
Create the Scope Definition ID.
We will review here how to create a new Scope Definition using the Tree Nodes.
With this option you can print the reports for each individual Project Code or you may select to
print a combined report for all the Project Codes in the tree node(s) selected.
Navigate using the breadcrumb string on the right and add a new value. Here we use the name
“Camps-All” and will pick a tree node that includes all camping operations for the council.
In this example, we use "Selected Tree Nodes" for a combined report.
Next we will indicate the tree name where our grouping of projects is located. This will always be
LXXX Projects (using your business unit) and should be available on the dropdown list.
App 11-9
Then you will select from a drop-down list the Selected Value to use in this report.
App 11-10
11.3.2 Defining a Scope for Individual Reporting from Tree Nodes:
To create a Scope Definition for individual reports the create process is the same except for the
variations highlighted below. Here we will use the “Detail-Selected Parents” specification which
will then produce a single report for each of the projects found under the tree node.
Again, remember to save your work.
App 11-11
11.3.3 Defining Scope for a Single Project or List of Projects: (Prints individual Reports only)
Follow the breadcrumb trail below and fill in the screen as in the sample. The name “Any-Project”
could indicate a single project, or a list. NOTE: If you desire, you can create a Scope Definition for
single projects that you use often such as "Camp-311" or "Camp-312” - (Ten characters allowed.)
Fill in the next screen as below using “Selected Detail Values” and “PROJECT_ID_VW” as shown.
App 11-12
11.3.4 Printing an nVision Report using Scope
Reminder: Scope is designed for the following reports:
•
•
•
•
Project Management Report - summary format.
Detailed Project Management - detailed format.
Budget Analysis – summary format.
Budget Analysis – detailed format.
To print a report using Scope, navigate to "Define Report Request" and select the report:
App 11-13
Once you click on the link "Scope and Delivery Templates", you will see the following screen:
There are two important fields here to manage:
"Report Scope" - Use the drop-down list to select the desired Scope you have previously
defined.
• “Content Description Template” should be changed from the default to %SFV% this will label the
report for easy identification in the “Report Manger”.
Run the report as normal.
•
NOTE: If you save the “Report Request ID” with this Scope definition, it will be there for the next time
you use that report request ID.
App 11-14
Finding Reports on the Report Manager
Combination reports will have the name of the tree node selected like this:
Single reports will have the Project ID number like this:
11.3.5 Send Reports by Email Option:

volunteers.
Then click on “Distribution”
App 11-15
Then complete the following screen as needed.
Now you may run the report by clicking on the final OK to send it to the server. Multiple reports will
