With the GroupCamp Overview application, access your project dashboard and get the latest updates on your key project status. The overview application displays your project schedule, project budget, project summary figures, time categories breakdown, and outlines late items in your project.
With GroupCamp Project Management Software, the Project dashboard is displayed in the Overview application.
The various information blocks displayed in the Overview application can be customized. The visibility of each block is based on users access privileges to the Overview application (Administrators, Group managers, Colleagues or Guests). Each block can also be completely hidden from all users.
Project managers have access to the Reports menu apps to keep a pulse on performance across all projects.
For each project, you can define a budget and monitor the evolution of your budget based on actual time spent recorded in the project. There are three types of budgets: Overall budget, Budget per category and Budget per role.
