This criteria can be based on the project's budget, duration, or any other criteria that the user chooses. The Top N feature allows users to quickly identify and analyze the most important projects or activities in their system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Top N feature, users must first define the criteria they want to use to select the top N projects or activities. This can be done by selecting a field from the project or activity master data and setting a value for it. Once this is done, users can then select the Top N option from the menu and enter the number of projects or activities they want to select. The system will then display the top N projects or activities based on the criteria set.

  When using the Top N feature, it is important to remember that only projects or activities with valid data will be included in the selection. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all relevant data is entered into the system before using this feature. Additionally, users should also consider using filters when selecting their top N projects or activities as this will help them narrow down their selection and make it easier to analyze.
