Endpoint views

Endpoint views display a list of endpoints that you have permission to view, allowing you to efficiently manage and monitor these endpoints. Endpoint views offer customizable options, including filters, columns, sorting, and an optional Gantt chart for visualizing endpoint status over time.

Configuring endpoint views

You can configure, save, rename, and share endpoint views. These features are described in detail in the Navigating Fusion Online page.

You can create new endpoint views and add them to the navigation menu using the View Manager, accessible from the navigation menu and the action menu within a task view.

Switching to a chart view

You can switch from the table view to a chart view to visualize endpoint data in a Multi-Buffer Fever Chart. This option allows you to see the status and buffer consumption of endpoints at a glance. To switch, click the Chart View button located at the top-right of the view.

For more details on the Multi-Buffer Fever Chart, refer to the chart view section below.

Columns and fields

Endpoint fields that can be displayed in columns are described in the endpoint fields documentation.

Filters

Endpoint filters are described in the endpoint filters documentation.

Sorting

Endpoint views can be sorted with up to three levels of sorting. You can sort by any field that is marked as sortable in the endpoint fields documentation.

The action menu is available in the Task Name column by clicking the menu icon next to the task name. It provides quick access to additional functionality:

View task details: Opens the Task Details page for the selected endpoint. Clicking on the task name will open the Task Details as well.
View impact chain: Opens the Impact Chain page for the selected endpoint, helping you understand the endpoint's dependencies.
View fever chart: Opens the Fever Chart page for the selected endpoint, allowing you to view the current and historical status.
View buffer history: Opens the Buffer History page for the selected endpoint, allowing you to view the historical status.
Set endpoint priority: Select this action to specify an endpoint priority. See endpoint priorities.
Convert to backlog task: This will convert the selected endpoint and its predecessors into backlog tasks. If this endpoint has a buffer, it will be permanently deleted along with all associated status points.
Change buffer size: Select this action to edit the buffer size associated with this endpoint.

Rebuffer on next update: Select this action to generate a new buffer for the endpoint during the next schedule update. Once selected, the endpoint is marked for rebuffering, and on the next project schedule update, a new buffer will be created. If a buffer already exists, this action will reset the fever chart and adjust the buffer size to reflect the current dependencies.
Set critical task options: Select this action to set the Critical Task Options for the endpoint. You can only set these options if the scope is set to Per Endpoint for Critical Task Options in the Project Options dialog.
- Endpoint Type: Choose between ASAP or Due Date for each endpoint.
- Critical Chain Sensitivity: Define how many days off the critical chain a task can be while still being considered critical.

Delete buffer: Select this action to delete the buffer associated with this endpoint.
Delete endpoint: Select this action to delete the endpoint. You may delete an endpoint if it has no predecessors.

Gantt chart

Endpoint views support an optional Gantt Chart that displays the endpoints over time, aligned with the table view. The Gantt chart can be enabled or disabled based on your needs.

If the endpoint was scheduled but not buffered, the Gantt Chart will display a milestone icon on the endpoint's scheduled finish date.

For unbuffered endpoints, the Gantt Chart displays the scheduled finish date of the endpoint task as deadline.

Gantt chart features

Zoom: Adjust the time scale for a more detailed or broader view. There's also a button to automatically scale to view all of the projects on the current page.

Legend: Displays the meaning of colors and shapes used in the Gantt chart.

Tooltips: Hover your mouse pointer over chart elements, like buffers, to get more information or to find specific actions.

Gantt chart options

Show Elapsed Time: Displays a gray bar from the project's Start Date to the current Status Date, indicating the total elapsed time.
Show Buffer Status Color: Changes the projected time Gantt bar color to reflect the current fever chart status, allowing quick visual identification of buffer health.
Show Landing Zone: Displays a blue bar representing the endpoint's landing zone, from the Landing Zone Start to the Landing Zone Finish.

Trend options

The trend options control the sensitivity of the trend indicator that is displayed in the Trend column. These options are found in the same options menu as the Gantt options.

Trend Period: Adjust the time period used in the trend calculation.
Trend Threshold: Adjust the sensitivity of the trend calculation.

Multi-Buffer Fever Chart

The Multi-Buffer Fever Chart shows a data point for each endpoint in your view, in standard fever chart format with % Chain Complete along the horizontal axis and % Buffer Used along the vertical axis. The fever chart regions are system-level options. Use the Switch button in the top-right of the endpoint view to toggle between the table view and the chart view.

Chart options

Chart Size: Choose between small or large chart sizes. Both options adjust based on the size of your browser window, but the large chart option provides additional space by displaying the endpoint table beneath the chart.
Status Point: Select either a standard circle or a trend indicator to display the latest status point for each endpoint on the chart.
Project Information: Choose to display the project name, project abbreviation, or leave it blank in the label for each point on the chart.
Endpoint Information: Choose to display the endpoint name, endpoint task UID, or leave it blank in the label for each point on the chart.
Trend Period: Adjust the time period used in the trend calculation.
Trend Threshold: Adjust the sensitivity of the trend calculation.
Table Density: Set the row height for the endpoint table to control table density.

Status details

Click on a point in the chart to open the Status Details dialog for the selected endpoint. The most recent status date is displayed at the top of the dialog, with additional fields described in the endpoint fields documentation.

Zoom controls

Use the zoom controls to adjust your view of the fever chart. Hold down the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel, or use the zoom control buttons to zoom in and out. If your chart has overlapping status points, zooming in can help provide a clearer view.
