Metrics are the numerical values and calculations that appear in your reports, such as hours, revenue, or utilization. Metrics are added as additional columns to your data table.

It's important to note that any metrics you see in your Runn reports have been calculated using actual hours where available. Where there are no actual hours, but scheduled hours, Runn will use the scheduled hours. Here's the difference between the two:

  • Scheduled hours are the number of hours a person or placeholder is assigned to work on a project.

  • Actual hours are the number of hours a person has logged on the project through their timesheets.

Read more about how Runn accounts for scheduled vs. actual hours, placeholders, tentative projects, and overtime in the Reports Guide.
