Definition:
Key figures are consolidated values, which are calculated using algorithms from the document data or other key figures, and which describe a document. An ID as a unique identification is assigned for each key figure. Projectile supports key figures for the forms contact, project, jobs and employee.
The use of key figures in Projectile allows the user to create total values, values for any point in time and values for any time period. The values which are created by key figures are marked with a creation date, so that they can be stored and reused without a re-calculation. Furthermore, each key figure can be assigned to a document, and can be integrated by key figures in the screen views and in reports.
Usage:
After a project, a job or an employee has been chosen by using the search function in Projectile, clicking on “Report” opens the Report-Designer. Here are the key figures in the column “column content”, where they are identified by an asterisk. After one or several key figures have been selected, it is necessary to select '(periods)' in the same column. Then, a time interval should be defined for the key figures. Select the “time interval” in the drop down box, for example “current month”, and then select a period, for example, “weekly”. Additionally, the creation of new key figures for a defined period of time can be blocked by using the “Max figures age”.
Afterwards an aggregate type for forming sums for the key figures. In the row of the key figure, in the drop down box “Periodic”, select either “Total” = the entire static value including the non-visible values, “periodic” = the timed limit of the total value, “sum” = the sum of the visible values and “accumulated” = the sum of the periodical determined values.
After clicking save, go back to the dialog field, and also click save, an output format is selected and “Show Reports” is clicked. The report with the key figures is generated and is available for further usage.

Profitability Tracked | Profitability = (revenue - costs) / revenue, revenue is the actual revenue and is estimated for fixed price projects based on the degree of completion. Basis of this calculation should not be the “pure” recorded time, but should be calculated in percentage - in relation to the daily working times of 8 hours. In the evaluation of fixed-price projects with the aid of the degree of completion, the true revenue is considered only with the final bill (fixed price or amount of payment invoices = 100%). For all other states (complete <100%), the fixed price (orders, if filled - otherwise offer value when filled - otherwise plan revenue after adding surcharges) is used and this value is multiplied with the degree of completion / 100. | FLOAT | Profitability_Tracked_Customer | yes | |

Profitability Tracked | Profitability = ( turnover - costs ) / turnover, Turnover is the actual turnover and is estimated for fixed-price projects based on the degree of completion. The basis of this calculation should not be the “pure” recorded time, but should be in percentage - with relation to the daily working time of 8 hours. \ \ In the evaluation of fixed-price projects using the degree of completion, the true turnover is only considered with the final bill (fixed price or total amount of advance payment invoices = 100%). For all other states (complete <100%) the fixed price (order value if filled - otherwise offer value when filled - otherwise planned turnover after surcharges) is used and this value is multiplied with the degree of completion / 100. | FLOAT | Profitability_Tracked_Project | yes | |

Time Performance Estimated Project | Formula for calculation: (planned period (Total) * degree of completion) / Plan period (at the reporting date). The SPI (Schedule Performance Index) is the time-related performance key figure of earned value analysis. It is formed from the ratio of earned value and planned time/effort. This means that with an SPI greater than 1.00 (100%) the project results were delivered faster than originally planned, while a value of less than 1.00 (100%), the project is progressing too slowly.
