In legacy PMI views — such as Management Perspective, Flash Report, Benchmarking, Portfolio Perspective, Schedule, and Labor Cockpits — tables are static. This means you cannot: Add new columns (e.g., “Yesterday’s Forecast”) Move columns around Resize or sort columns manually These views are fixed by design and don’t support user-level customization. Where Table Customization Is...
The Benchmarking module in PMI does not support graphs at all — neither in the desktop version nor in the app. It is a table-only feature designed for data comparison, not visual display. Common Confusion: Flash Report vs. Benchmarking Flash Report (in the PMI app) does include graphs such as lines and bars, and offers visual comparisons. Benchmarking, by contrast, focuses on numeric...
If you notice a significant difference in SMART hours between two months — like April and May — the most common explanation is a change in the Productivity forecast. Quick Explanation SMART hours are calculated using the following formula: SMART Hours = Cost Driver ÷ Productivity Forecast So, if the Productivity forecast is lower in May, even with the same cost driver (like number of covers...
If you receive a message stating that “the user already exists in the chain” but cannot locate them through a search, follow these steps: Steps to Resolve Navigate to Chain Level. Ensure you’re searching from the chain level in the breadcrumb navigation. Users associated with specific properties may not appear unless you’re viewing from the top level. Include Deactivated Users in Search....
You’re using the Budget version in the P&L module, but the staff-related column shows a different label—perhaps “Scheduled” or something entirely custom. Here’s why that happens and how to fix it. The Real Reason: This setting isn’t controlled in the P&L module—it’s actually configured in the Cockpit. To make the column reflect Budget hours rather than another value (like Scheduled),...
Common Cause:In most cases, the discrepancy is due to how the Cost Driver (Room Nights) is configured in the Cockpit. The Cockpit might be using Room Nights from the previous day as a cost driver. The Rooms Live Forecast typically shows Room Nights for the same day. This mismatch leads to differing totals, even if the forecast source and timing are aligned. What to Do: Open the Cost Driver...
Yes, "Other Hours" can be modified using the Data upload center in PMI. However, understanding the difference between "Other hours" and "TKS hours" is crucial: TKS Hours: These are hours imported directly from your external Timekeeping System (TKS). They represent scheduled or actual hours recorded externally and synced with PMI. These hours cannot be edited directly in PMI. Other Hours:...
Hidden but history intact → Deactivated: Name won’t appear in pick‑lists, but past shifts still show in reports. Reactivate by ticking “Active.” Profile gone entirely → Deleted: Worker can’t be found or reactivated (past shift records remain in reports, but profile is permanently removed).
If you’re using the Revenue & Productivity (R&P) module in PMI, keep in mind that this module focuses on revenue and productivity metrics rather than full financial reporting. Since not all cost data is available within R&P, the AI cannot provide full Gross Operating Profit (GOP) calculations. If cost-related insights are needed, AI will only infer potential GOP impacts based on...

Click on the Edit tool (Pen icon). Manually adjust the covers as needed. Save your changes. Note: Live Forecast is designed for adjusting future covers. Flash Reports handle updates for historical data, such...
