The mask contains the following elements:

• Time Span (from/to): The start and end of portfolio management is entered in these fields.
• Standard X, Standard Y and Standard Z: These values allow you to define the standard axes for the portfolio for portfolio evaluation. The key figures for the axes are, for example, planned effort, actual effort, planned costs, actual costs, planned revenues, quotation value, invoiced amount, probability and percentage of completion.
