A process that: -
Based on the pre-determined schedule frequency, this job will send an email to Project Managers that have a project meeting the criteria of: project(s) are active and scheduled finish date is less than the current date. This serves as a reminder to Project Managers to keep their schedules true. The contents of the email include a message indicating the project manager has at least one project meeting this criteria and a table indicating the Project ID, Project Name and Scheduled Finish Date. -
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. -
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. -
This portlet displays the monthly allocation per resource. The PM can view by the RM or the resource to get the data for monthly resource allocations. The table below describes the available filter fields in the portlet. Column Label Description Work Effort Manager Manager of the Investment the Work Effort is on Work Effort Active Active status of the Investment the Work Effort is on Resource Resource’s Name Internal Resource ID Resource’s ID Zero Allocation Show Allocations that equal zero Open for Time Entry Is the Resource Open for Time Entry Resource Active Resource’s Active status Role Resource’s Primary Role OBS Unit Resource’s OBS Start Allocation Start Time to filter by End Allocation Finish time to filter by -

Portlet displays resource allocations graphically for each project in the specified program(s), for the next six weekly periods. Portlet filterable by numerous project, resource, and assignment attributes. Graphical representation shows Resource Availability Threshold and Allocation in hours, as a mouse-over. -
The Pending Actuals portlet displays pending actuals for resources by task. This portlet allows the user to filter on Project, Project Manager, Is Active and Is Open for Time Entry. This portlet provides Resource Managers and Project Managers a simple way to analyse which actuals have been submitted but not posted on specific tasks, as well as the aggregate pending hour total. Note: the information displayed is dependent on what the user has security rights to view. -
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. -
The Dashboard: Project Status Single-line portlet gives an overview of the project overall status as well as the status indicators on the "current" status report object. The portlet will pull the "id" from the page it is placed on, so this portlet is usually placed on the project dashboard tab. This portlet displays the report date, symbols relating to the overall status, scope, schedule, cost/effort, and the overall explanation across a single line in the portlet. -

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 My Assignments portlet will display the assignments for the logged in user - pulling data from the timeslices. It is used as a quick reference for the users to view their assignments across all of the projects. The portlet also displays work posted against the task, expressed in Actuals, and remaining work to be done, expressed as an Estimate to Complete (ETC). The Effort Variance reflects what the ETC variance is compared to the last current baseline of the project. -
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 Executive Dashboard portlet displays information regarding projects the user has security rights to view. It provides a one-stop place for the PMO or management to view all critical information about projects. The portlet not only displays status indicators as well as dates for late items, variances and days late, but also displays the project status fields from the Status Report sub-object. -
The Dashboard: Baseline Comparison portlet compares multiple baselines on a single project. The portlet is added to the dashboard page of a project and will pull in both baselines for that project and perform a comparison between the two. This portlet provides a quick way for project managers to view the differences between their baselines, especially if they have multiple members updating the project.
