Hi @Wael_Elgammal

Active is the count of projects that are "In Progress" while All-Time is all projects, i.e., even the closed/completed projects.

Thanks for the reply, but what is the point to track schedule health of completed project?

Some people track historical values of how projects ended. Having bad health on a active project isn't good but gives you a chance to fix it… while ending a bunch of projects still unhealthy shows an overall bad indicator that the org never addresses/fixes issues when they arise. If you get warned of a health issue but don't address it (therefore ending the project on a good/healthy standpoint) what's the point of tracking any health. Just metrics for different methods of managing.
