Define Fields for a Monthly from Daily Report

You can use the following field types in a Performance Calculation report to calculate monthly from daily performance data when you run the report:

Performance Analysis
Performance Link Analysis
Performance Risk Analysis

The report always retrieves entity fields, even if you do not process performance data at the security level. You can use security fields only if the report processes performance data at the security level.
The rest of this section provides several useful performance values that you can include in a Performance Calculation report rule used for month to date performance calculation and reporting. For detailed information about setting up Performance Analysis, Performance Link Analysis, and Performance Risk Analysis fields, see Performance Analysis and Reporting.
