This process must be run using the “Execute a Process” job. Job may be scheduled or run on-demand. Process pulls Availability Rate from the Availability blob for each resource, where blob is not null. Then it populates this value into a custom Daily Availability attribute (Number field with 2 decimals) on the Resource object. This field does not have to be displayed to be used for reporting. Because the OOB Availability Rate field is stored only in a blob, it is difficult to include in portlet or report output. The use of this custom attribute makes the value easily reportable. -

The Status Report Publish workflow process pushes values from the status report sub-object to the parent project object. The process is started when the user ticks the “Publish” Boolean field on the status report (custom field added). This workflow will update the project object with the overall status indicator, the status comment, the previous overall status, and the as of date. This eliminates the project manager having to update the fields in both the status report and the project overall. -
The Task-At-A-Glance Notes portlet provides a view of project tasks and assignments in an easy to read format, similar to popular sticky – note applications. This portlet will display all tasks on a project, ‘pinning’ them to a dashboard. Each task will include the resources assigned to them, as well as the ETCs left for the resource, and the actuals that they have posted. Each sticky note allows you to link to the task details, as well as the resource assignment details. In addition to important assignment detail, each pin on the individual task’s note indicates if the task finishes before the baseline (green), or if it is going to finish after the baseline (red). -
When a task is marked as complete the process looks to any tasks that are dependent on the newly completed task. If a task is marked as “Not Started” and all of the dependency tasks are marked as complete then the process will change the task status to “Started” and email all resources that are assigned to the task that has started. The process notifies resources that a task is ready to start and saves the project manager the manual effort of updating dependent tasks. NOTE: The process relies on task dependencies and is most useful in those environments where task dependencies are managed. -
