Vista: Operations

Find definitions of the fields and measures included in the Vista: Operations dataset organized by folder.

The Vista: Operations dataset provides a consolidated source of all data related to business operations. It includes fields and measures related to several areas of business operations, such as contracts, cost details, cash flow, materials, subcontracts, customers, departments, employees, equipment, jobs, and vendors.

Note: When building a report with the Vista: Operations dataset, be aware that not all data categories are compatible with one another. Combining some categories may produce confusing results. To identify which categories are compatible with each other, hover over a category in the report editor. The description lists all categories that are compatible.

For example, hovering over Contract Billings shows that, for best results, it can be grouped with the Job Company, Contract, Contract Item, Job, Department, Project Manager, and Calendar Date categories.
