Status Tab

The Status tab displays current metrics and KPIs.

The Schedule date values will automatically populate based on work item dates, and the values for the current overall Status, Health, Cost, and other metrics and KPIs are manually set by the manager.

Status Reports Tab

In the Status Reports tab a snapshot record of the current status information can be saved, and the history of previously created status reports can be viewed. 

Saved status reports will be added to the list of any previously created status reports. The status report data is stored within your Microsoft 365 Dataverse. 

To create a new status report snapshot:

1. In the Status Reports tab click the ellipses and + New Status Report. 
2. Fill in all relevant columns. 
3. To save the status report:
   1. To save a draft: Click Save or Save and Close in the ribbon.
   2. To save a final version of the status report set Complete Status Report to Yes.

When you first set Email Report to Sponsor to Yes, and then set Complete Status Report to Yes (in that order), an HTML report will be emailed to the Sponsor, the Portfolio or Program Manager, and the person that set the report to the completed status. The email will be sent from the account that was used to install BrightWork 365.
