The Action Item Reassignment – Workflow provides the ability to reassign an action item(s) that has been sent out to a resource. You first choose the resource who currently has the action item(s) sitting in their queue. Next, you choose the resource you want to reassign the action item(s) to. Finally, you select one to many action items you want to re-associate before running the process. After all the fields are set, the process can be run which will re-associate the action items from one resource to the other. -
This Process sends an email to every Action Item Assignee where the Due Date/Time has passed and the Status is either Open, or In Progress. Users may want to modify this stalker to include Status = Deferred. In addition, the Resource Manager for the Assignee receives a copy of the email. In order to generate emails, the SMTP gateway must be up and running and Resources must have a valid email address. -
The Active Workflow Processes allows you to view all of the workflow processes within the system. It shows information about the process: the objects related, the start type, and if the process has sub-processes, jobs, or GEL scripts. This portlet is used by admins to determine how many processes are currently running in the system and on which objects. It will also display the start action, how many GEL scripts reside in the process, the run count and how many the sub-processes each process has. This information is helpful during upgrades and other testing. -
The portlet displays posted time by project for the logged in user based on time period and date range. This allows the user to see at a glance their ETC and actuals on the projects. The portlet displays the Total Allocation and Total Actuals to Date for the user on the projects they are allocated/assigned to. The actuals are displayed per month in the form of TSVs. -
Rego’s Clarity Adoption Metrics package consists of two sets of metrics: Project metrics, and Resource metrics. Project metrics measure how effectively project managers are using Clarity to manage their projects. Resource metrics measure how effectively resource managers are using Clarity to manage resources. Metrics are scored on a scale of 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater adoption and use. All metrics can be viewed numerically or graphically, and can be broken out by OBS. In addition, metric data can display as a 12-month rolling history to help identify trends. Project metrics can also display by lowest / highest adoption rates for a specific resource metric or all resource metrics. There is a variety of way to view the Adoption Metric data, therefore, Rego has made this simple by creating an Adoption Metrics object that contains multiple tabs. Each tab displays one or more of the Project or Resource Adoption Metrics. Based on the nature of the Metrics some tabs will allow the ability to use a pull down menu to select a specific Adoption Metric. There is also a Metrics trending view that pulls monthly snapshots of the metrics. Project metrics consist of the following: - Project Status Reporting – Measures how well PMs create and publish project status reports.
- Project Risk Adoption – Measures how well Risks are being used and managed.
- Project Issue Adoption – Measures how well Issues are being used and managed.
- Project Schedule – Measures how well PMs create tasks and keep the project schedule current.
- Project Baseline – Measures whether or not baselines exist.
- Project Zero ETC’s – Measures how well the PM assigns resources to tasks with ETCs.
- Project Past ETC’s – Measures how many improperly scheduled tasks the PM has.
- Project Milestone / Key Tasks – Measures how well PMs create and manage Milestones / Key Tasks.
- Project Schedule Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their schedules.
- Project Effort Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their project efforts.
- Project Budget Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage budgets or cost plans.
- Project Unfilled Roles – Measures project roles with allocations that are already started or starting within the next 30 days.
- Project Data Quality – Measures how effectively PMs complete the Description, Stage, Progress, Objective, and Sponsor/Business Owner fields.
- Project Commitment – Measures the hard allocations for a project over a two week time frame.
- Resource Clarity Usage – Measures how often users log into Clarity.
- Resource Timesheet – Measures if timesheets post in a timely manner.
- Resource Allocation – Measures how well RMs keep total resource allocations within the expected range for future time periods.
- Resource Actualy Utilization – Measures how well Resource allocations match actuals.
- Resource Allocation Date in the Past – Measures how many resources are open for time entry with dates in the past.
- Resource Data Quality – Measures how well RMs complete the Resource Manager and Primary Role fields and optionally the Skill and Employment Type fields.
- Resource Commitment – Measures how much resource available time is committed to projects.

The All Assignments portlet displays resource assignments across multiple projects. Currently, assignment information displayed for the project, in OWB, or MSP is limited to a single project. This portlet will provide a single view of the assigned data for all assignments across multiple projects. The portlet displays project actuals and estimates from the project (datamart tables). The Days Late field is calculated by the baseline date, while the Days Old field is calculated by today's date. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list. Filters provide the PM, RM, and individual resource the ability to monitor work progress across multiple projects. For example: ~ PMs can filter for all assignments that were to be completed by a given date but still have "Started" or "Not Started" status. ~ If multiple projects are utilizing the same resource, the PM or RM can filter for assignments utilizing that specific resource to prevent over-utilization. ~ A resource may filter for all assignments assigned to them, providing a picture of their total body of work. -
The All Change Request portlet displays all change requests related to active projects that the logged in user has view rights to. The portlet provides the project manager a single place to view change requests across multiple projects without having to go into each project individually and allows for more efficient management and reporting across projects. The filter allows the user to narrow their search by date ranges, resources involved, and/or the project with which the Change Request is associated. Other alternatives for filtering include the category, priority or status of the Change Request. In the list view, a status is displayed for each Change Request (CR), along with the Project with which the CR is associated, the CR ID, the CR name, the resource to whom the CR is assigned, Priority, Expected Closure Date, and number of days the CR has remained open. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list. -
The All Incidents portlet shows all Incidents the user has view rights on and provides a single view to increase ease of management.

The Allow PM to Give Certain Rights modification allows the project manager to delegate rights (chosen by the administrator on the PM Rights object) on his or her projects. This modification eliminates the need for project managers to request additional rights through the PMO/management and simplifies the entire process for everyone involved. The system administrator is able to customize the PM Rights object to pick which rights should be granted to users by the process. The process begins when a change is made on the newly created “Grant / Revoke” field on the project object. The process will then grant or revoke (depending on what option is selected) any rights listed in the PM Rights object to the user in the “Assign PM Rights” field on the project object. -

The user may filter on certain criteria that include: project name/ID, date range, resource name/ID, and resource OBS unit. -
When marking a Status Report 'Final' in a grid/list view, the system doesn't create a new 'Draft' report like it does when using the Status Report UI. For groups that prefer to manage in a grid/list, they need to always have a draft. -
The Auto-Approve Old Timesheets workflow process can be run through the "Execute a Process" job and may be used to quickly close out timesheets for a specified timeframe for period closure. The workflow will execute a query that will automatically approve ALL (no matter the status of the timesheet) timesheets that have a time period start date before the Approve Date specified within the process itself. -
The Benefits by Year portlet summarizes Benefit totals by year and is searchable by Project, OBS and Portfolio. The results display both Budgeted Benefit Plans and Forecast Plans and the associated Cost Plan. Users can make use of this portlet to view Benefit Plan totals across an OBS or Portfolio or to compare the Budgeted Benefit of a Project versus the current plan. -
Bar Chart displays average percent variance for all active projects by OBS unit. Percent variance = Planned Cost - Budgeted Cost / Budgeted Cost * 100. Projects with no Budgeted Cost are ignored for the calculation. Then all project variance percentages are algebraically added (some may be negative), and divided by total projects with a variance. This yields the Average Percent Variance. This calculation is performed for active projects in each OBS unit. OBS units include all units at all levels where projects are attached. Portlet filterable by OBS, Financial Status, and Financially Approved. Vertical axis = OBS Unit Name. Horizontal axis = Variance Percent. Data value = Average Percent Variance. Mouseover value = OBS Name + Average Variance Percent. -
