The Re-Baseline via Change Request process is a simple method for a member of the project (who has the ability to create change requests) to request a re-baseline of the project without the project manager having to perform it. First, the user must create the change request. The user must then start the process within the change request by using the Processes tab. Once started, the process will route an action item to the Project Manager. If rejected, the process will end and the user must start it again (if needed). If approved, the process will then baseline the project and close out the change request. -

The Project Close Process workflow process aides the Project Manager in some routine close out tasks that accompany every project. Marking the project inactive starts the process and it will continue down one of two paths:- Once the project is inactive, the process will then check to see if there is no remaining estimate to complete (ETC) still on the project. If there is ETC leftover, then the process will go into a waiting state for 14 days to allow the project manager to cleanup or to cancel the process if it was done in error. After 14 days, the process will check to see if the project is active. If the project is active, then the process will end. However, if the project is still inactive, the process will continue with the closeout activities even if there is ETC still on the project.
- If the project is marked inactive after the initial 14 days of waiting if applicable, then the process will immediately move to the closeout activities.
- Turning off time entry for the project, tasks and project members
- Updates the ETC, proposed ETC, and pending estimates to 0
- Updates the task status and assignment status to Completed
- Sets the task, assignment and project finish dates to today’s date only if the finish dates are after the process run date
- Sets all Risks and Issues to Closed with a resolution of “## This was closed automatically as part of the project close process ##”

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.
