- The timesheet has less than 40 hours.
- The timesheet has 40 or more hours.
- The resource’s availability is less than 8hrs/day.
-
The Timesheet Approval - RM and PM process is an auto-start process that begins once the resource submits his or her timesheet. This process provides a checks-and-balances style to ensure that all resources entering time have entered the 40 hours. Once the timesheet is submitted, the process will lock the user’s timesheet to prevent editing. The process will then select the next action based on three different factors: -
The Time Tracking Stalker – Resource workflow process is used to notify resources that fail to submit a timesheet in a prior week. The workflow checks for active resources, hire/termination dates, track mode, and open for time entry. This process helps to ensure resources submit timesheets in a timely manner. In version 13, the email can be enhanced to include colors, bold, underline, and other HTML formatting. -
The Grant Edit Skill and Calendar workflow process grants the ability for resources to edit both the skill and calendar sections for their record. This workflow simplifies the task or updating a resource’s calendar or skill set by the user to update any new skills or new time off requests he or she is planning. -
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. -
Resource Financial Settings portlet provides resource managers a single place to view financial settings of various resources. It is a grid portlet that displays Resource details such as Name, Email, Manager, Employment Type, Is Active?, Is Open for Time?, Resource Class, Transaction Class and Department.

This Allocation Compliance Drilldown Enhancement portlet is used in conjunction with the Allocation Compliance Pie Chart. Once the user selects a specific section of the chart, the Allocation Compliance Drilldown Enhancement will display a list of resources fulfilling that selection. The Allocation Compliance list portlet shows the Resource Name, the Resource Manager, Availability, Allocated Hours and Allocation % for the selection. Note: The Allocation compliance pie chart is displayed first based on the filter selection i.e., Start Date, End Date and OBS. The pie chart is displayed as per the following three slices of the pie: Under Allocated (Less than 80%) Appropriately Allocated (Between 80-120%) Over Allocated (Above 120%) The slice of a pie can be clicked to display resource allocation compliance information in the Allocation Compliance List portlet, as described earlier. The table below describes the available columns in the Allocation Compliance list portlet. The first 5 are configured in the default view: Column Label Description Resource Name Name of the Resource Resource Manager Resource Manager Availability Resource Availability Allocated Resource Allocation Allocation % Resource Allocation % Res_id Unique identifier of the Resource -
A Process run via Execute a Process job; sends an email to active resources, containing a facsimile of their Resource Allocation Detail page. It shows the next six weeks of allocations by investment, with a column total. The email also contains a click here link to this page in CA PPM, to enable editing of the data, as appropriate. -
The Timesheets by Resource portlet gives the ability to highlight the time periods where resources are working overtime or working less than 25 hours a week. The filter requires timesheet Start Date and End Date to be provided. Additionally, the information can be filtered by Resource, Resource ID, OBS Unit, Employment Type, Resource Manager, Open for Time, and Active status. This portlet displays Resource, Resource ID, Active (yes/no), Employment Type, Primary Role, Resource Manager, and Timesheet Hours Flag. The flags are set with the logic- Yellow = timesheets not posted / zero hour timesheets
- Green = where number of hours posted is > 25 and less than 45
- Red = where number of hours posted is < 25 or > 45

The Time By Resource and Investment - PM portlet shows time spent on projects where the logged in user is the project manager. This portlet is used to get a snapshot of investments and the time that has been put against them at the individual resource level for the projects that user has access to. This portlet is used for determining what resources have put time against specific investments and can be used to see where resources are spending their time or to help rationalize ETCs for remaining work for planning purposes. The portlet may be filtered by time-scale, date, resource or investment to narrow the search results. -
The Time by Assignment portlet displays time logged to assignments for all investments the logged in user has security rights to view - pulling data from the timeslices. It is capable of displaying the data by weekly, monthly or quarterly segments. The portlet may also be filtered by investment and resource OBS. -
The Resource Data Issues portlet is used to identify data exceptions related to resource setup. This portlet helps to identify where resources are missing key data or are possibly sitting in an exception state. This view will show resources that have one or many exceptions, including inactive resources. There is no security built into this portlet - all resources will show. The only required field in the filter is Days, which is the number of days since the user last logged in. The user may also narrow the results by resource, OBS, or project type. -
The Allocation Compliance by Resource (Resource Manager) portlet gives a view of resource allocation compliance for all active resources the logged in user is the Resource Manager for. It allows the RM to see resources they manage over the coming months and whether they are over or under allocated. This portlet leverages the daily allocation and daily availability slices as well as only active investments. The portlet provides filters for specific dates, filtering by resource ID, and resource name may also be added. -
This view depicts Allocation Compliance for resources grouped by OBS. Using the daily Resource Availability and Daily Resource Allocation Time Slices this column chart groups aggregate Allocation vs Availability by OBS Unit. The chart allows quick analysis to see if resources are adequately allocated (between 80% to 120% of their capacity) or if they are significantly under or over allocated. NOTE: The grouping of OBS unit is limited to 1 level below the selected OBS in the portlet filter. -
The Capacity vs. Booking Status by OBS report includes three charts. The line chart displays capacity compared to demand, with demand distributed by booking status, and actuals by period. The pie charts display demand by booking status and demand by employment type. The report also includes a detail listing of resource capacity and demand at the booking status level across investments. The report can be grouped by any OBS level, providing visibility into resources at any level of the organization. The report displays amounts by week or month, and in total. The amounts can be displayed as hours or FTEs. Report Prerequisites Verify that you have completed the following prerequisites before you run this report: • Resource capacity amounts display if the resource has availability that is defined and meets the parameter criteria. • Resource demand allocation amounts display if the resource is allocated to at least one investment. Resource assignments are not required. • The Load Data Warehouse job must be run before you run this report. If the Data Warehouse is not populated, the report will not display any data. Also, most of the report parameters do not display options. -
The Resource Baseline vs. Plan by Employment Type report provides insight into how resource utilization compares to the original baseline. It displays baseline, actual, estimate, and variance values for each resource across investments, grouped by employment type—such as employees or contractors. The report includes monthly charts that compare baseline amounts to estimated-at-completion values, with data shown in either hours or full-time equivalents (FTEs). This enables clear visibility into performance and variances by employment category. -
The Investment Assignments by Task report provides a detailed breakdown of effort at the task-assignment level for each investment. It displays both actuals and estimates for resource assignments, along with task status, percent complete, and assignment start and finish dates. Totals are available at the investment level, making it easy to analyze workload, progress, and effort distribution across tasks and resources. -
Today's workforce is more diverse than ever, and a "one size fits all" approach to leadership is seldom effective. A remote/hybrid workforce presents unique challenges, and teams often represent many different generations each with unique characteristics and needs. Even if you are not in a formal leadership position, we all are responsible for reflecting leadership skills and traits that encourage a collaborative spirit where everyone can bring the best version of themselves to their efforts. We'll offer some insights and opportunities that will help you and your teams to thrive. -
