Contract Line Items
The Contract Line Items search page finds contracts and reports key data about them. You can bring in metadata like Contract Terms, Holdback, and Engagement Manager. In addition, you can specify key performance indicators (KPIs) and flag them when user-defined thresholds are exceeded.
Your contract line item dashboard can be reached by navigating to https://app.projectorpsa.com/x/ContractLineItemSearch or by using the primary navigation to go to Project & Planning | Contract Line Items

Smart Grid
The smart grid is displayed in the lower half of the screen and shows your search results.
KPIs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - If a field is marked as a KPI then you can set up a flag to turn the field red. For example, if project margin is below 75% then flag the cell red.
Edit your results grid to include a KPI field.
Click the white/blue arrow icon ( ) and an editor window will appear. Fill out the form.
Values that fulfill the criteria are colored red
Result Columns
Reporting Currency - you'll notice that some fields are duplicated, except that one field has "Reporting Currency" in parentheses after it. These fields will display a currency based on your search settings. For example, you might see Billing Adjusted Revenue (GBP). These fields are FX'd based on the settings in your Currencies and FX Rates Editor. If you want to see values in the engagement's natural currency, choose the version that does not include a currency after it. If you want to change the displayed currency, go to Options | Customize results grids | Reporting Currency.
User-Defined Fields - If your installation has user defined fields (UDFs), then you'll see these as options in your grid too. Each UDF will be preceded by its type. For example, the project UDF "Priority" would be listed as "Project Priority".
