The KPIs shown at the top of the dashboard give a quick overview of value tracking for costed designs that have not yet been added to a project:
Hover over on the dashboard to view a description of each item
The total number of distinct designs that have been costed in aP Design or aP Pro but have not been added to a project.
These designs represent cost-saving opportunities that have not yet been captured in the Design Value Dashboard.
Total cost savings not recognized in the Design Value Dashboard.
Calculated as: (Base PPC − Final PPC) × Annual Volume,
summed across all costed designs that are not in a project.
The total value of costed designs that have not yet been added to a project.
This uses the same calculation as Total Business Analyzed on the Design Value Dashboard.
The total value of the top 50 costed designs that have not yet been added to a project.
The total cost optimization for the top 50 costed, non-project designs by cost optimization.
Designs by Group¶
The Designs by Group donut chart shows the distribution of costed, non-project designs by user group, as a percentage of the total.
- Groups are sorted in descending order by number of designs.
- Users not assigned to a group appear as Other.
- Up to 50 groups are shown.
Use this chart to identify which groups have the most unrecognized savings potential. Clicking a segment filters the Designs table to show only designs from that group.
