Key points

  1. BCM's workload accounting and reporting drills down into job metrics. You can classify them by user, job, account or job name.

    “The classification can be carried out singly. However, it can also be carried out at the same time, like filters.”

  2. Access to job accounting is controlled by tokens in each user's profile. A project manager can see the job data of the users she manages.
