  • The Time Tracking Stalker - RM workflow process automatically sends an email to Resource Managers for each one of their resources that have not submitted their timesheet for a prior open time period, thus informing the RM if their resources are submitting their timesheets on time. Project Managers will also benefit since the notifications will help to ensure that time is being posted against their projects in a timely manner, helping to provide them with an accurate view of time expended on the projects.
  • The Grant Project Edit Rights workflow process allows a project manager to grant project edit rights to another user without contacting an administrator. The workflow uses the Out-of-the-box field for Business Owner. The script starts when the field is updated. It will assign project edit rights to whichever user is added to the Business Owner field.  This process can be modified to grant project edit rights to any user within a project field.
  • Course Description:   Are you struggling to implement Agile tools at your organization alongside Clarity PPM? This class will review best practices for implementing Agile tools in conjunction with Clarity PPM while living in a bimodal world. We will discuss how Clarity PPM can govern both types of work and teams and how Agile tools should interface with Clarity PPM.
  • By its very nature, the shift to Product Funding is going to require that tracking of that funding. Agile tools do not have much, if any, financial capabilities, so it is important to create an eco-system that can support this value stream—from funding, through delivery, and finally to tracking the realization of financial value. Learn how Rally and Clarity PPM do this very well together.
  • Have you looked in the regoXchange or reviewed Rego’s innovation offerings? This class will show you the power of Rego’s pre-built content library, integrations, and other assets. See example after example of portlets, processes, and materials you can use to add value to your instance of Clarity.  Learn how you can introduce email-based approvals with Rego's action item responder.  Get a peek at Rego's new MSP integration that avoids the issues faced with the OOTB integration.  Finally, understand Rego's pre-built connectors and how they can benefit your instance.  Including blueprint migrator.  Include free tools like GEL builder, query, XOGbridge.
  • This portlet displays the % allocation of resources to projects. The portlet shows if the resource is allocated to the projects as an individual resource or as part of an Agile team, in which case it will display the resource % allocation to the team and what that will represent in terms of % allocation to the project. The Total Allocation % display the allocation of the resource to all investments is allocated to. Remaining Capacity and Over/Under columns will help identify the resources that still have availability and the ones that are over allocated.
  • The Global Action Items portlet will help users and clarity admins to keep track of action items in the CA PPM system. This is useful to keep track of Timesheet Approval through Action Item or any other Action Item related workflows. The portlet displays Name, Type Assignee, Created by, Due Date, Health and Status of the Action Items as default columns. The portlet provides  Project, Project Manager, Project OBS, Assignee, Status and Due Dates of the Action Items as default filters.
  • The Dashboard: Project Information portlet gives a set of high-level information about the project.  The portlet will pull the "id" from the page it is placed on, so this portlet is usually placed on the project dashboard tab.  The portlet displays the name, project ID, project manager, description, start date, finish date, baseline start, and baseline finish.

  • No matter how hard we try, many organizations cannot pry Excel out of the hands of project and resource managers. In this class we will explore possibilities that give up the battle and embrace Excel as a great data entry tool. We will show some neat case studies on quick Excel integrations deployed at customers.

  • Launch a Team chat with your users directly from the Clarity PPM tool. This is a good way to collaborate with the team and users for any quick update or interaction. This is a scheduled process in Clarity named Sync MS Team Launching Chat URL and will be scheduled to run for various frequency. When the process kick in it will be setting the Team link into the custom URL attribute of the Resource, which can be used to Launch Team chat from the tool. Sync Process come with two parameters for the Support team, which they can use as per there environment configurations. These two Gel parameters for quick configuration are:
    •  launchMSTeamField: parameter for the Custom Resource Field to store Launch URL
    •   emailAddressField: parameter for field to pick mail address in SRM_RESOURCES table
  • The Missing Time by OBS portlet displays all missing or late timesheets for resources staffed within a specific OBS.   Resources will be included if they are open for time entry, have the track mode of ‘Clarity’ and have a timesheet that is not posted. The portlet accommodates for hire and termination dates.  Also, the portlet only shows resources that the active user has the security rights to view.   Administrators and the Project Management Office may use this portlet to determine the timesheet status of all resources within a specific OBS in open time periods. This portlet allows a user to quickly search by OBS and view all timesheets under that area. After selecting the OBS, the user can also filter on time period start date, Resource Manager and/or Project Manager. The portlet will display a ‘Stop Light’ indicator based on timesheet status, the status, period start, Resource Name, Resource Manager and any actual hours entered for the timesheet.
  • The All Issues portlet displays all Issues related to active projects that the logged in user has view rights to.  The portlet provides the project manager a single place to view issues across multiple projects without having to go into each project individually, and allows for more efficient management and reporting across projects. The filter then allows the user to narrow their search by Issue ID, Issue Name, Project ID, Project Name, the individual to whom the issue is assigned, and Issue Status. You may also narrow the view to display issues with a target resolution date within a certain date range, or Issues associated with a particular Category or OBS unit. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list.
  • 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.
