Configuring Insight Tiles
Project insight tiles provide a clear visual summary of the status of different project components, such as tasks and events.
You can enable insight tiles in Full Project templates, and all projects created from a template use the same tile configuration. You can't edit the insight tile configuration from a sourcing project; however, you can show or hide specific tiles in the Project Insights panel while viewing a project.
You configure a template's insight tiles in the Insight Tiles table within the Advanced Options tab. From this table, you can enable or disable specific tiles, reorder tiles, and enter text that displays in the Getting started insight tile in projects created from the template.
Insight tiles don't display in full sourcing projects created in the classic interface, even if they've been configured on the template.
The following table describes the available insight tiles:
| Tile Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Getting Started | Displays read-only text content. Use the tile's text field in the project template to enter and format content. Since the tile's content is the same for all projects created from a specific template, this tile is best used for broadly applicable information, such as process descriptions, general project workflows, or other useful reminders. Entering a website URL in the template text editor creates a live hyperlink in the text displayed in a project. |
| Events | Displays a card for each event in the project. Selecting a card opens the event for editing or monitoring, depending on the event's state. Each card includes the following information:
|
| Tasks | Displays an overview of the project's tasks, organized by status. The Tasks completed bar graph represents the number of completed tasks compared to the total number of tasks in the project. This tile also shows the following information:
|
| Supplier Participation | Displays a graph of supplier participation statuses for each of the project's events. To view the names of participants in a particular status, hover over the number for that status on the graph. |
| Event Award | Displays an award summary table for each awarded event. Each summary table includes the following information:
|
| Contracts | Displays a card for each contract created from an event in the project. Selecting a card opens the contract in the classic SAP Ariba Sourcing interface. Each card includes the following information:
|
| Quick Links | Displays items added as quick links by project team members. Selecting a quick link opens the linked item for viewing or editing, depending on the item's type and status. |
