This portlet pulls back the Availability and Allocation totals by Role between a user-specified Start and Finish Date, then the user can drilldown to look at the information for Applications. The Time Period filter allows for comparing these values across different timeframes (monthly, weekly, quarterly, annual) as desired. Other filters allow for looking at Active or Inactive Roles (or both) and including Active or Inactive Projects (or both) in the totals. -
The Capacity Planning by Skill portlet displays the capacity and demand by skill for a selected timeframe. This portlet is used to determine which skills are in high demand, being used efficiently, and how much capacity may be remaining for the time period.

This process workflow with gel script forces billable hours on timesheet down to 40 hours, and sets overtime hours to non-billable. Timesheets with 40 or fewer hours are not touched. Process kicks off upon submission of timesheet. Steps are:- Determine if timesheet has > 40 hours. If so, proceed.
- Create a SPLIT row for each timesheet row, with Input Type Code = Non-Bill.
- Divide 40 by total timesheet ours. Store this value.
- Multiply each timesheet cell by the stored value, and enter the result into that cell.
- Take the difference (original cell value – new cell value), and enter in same cell on Split row.
- The end result will be 40 hours total on Billable rows, and overtime hours on Non-Billable rows.
-
Process sends an email to RM, for resources assigned, that indicates the allocation percentage for each resource for the next 6 weeks. Email has links to each resource so that allocation modifications can be made as required. -
This process updates the team, assignment and timesheet roles with the primary role where they do not match. This way, the PM can push all roles to team and assignment for that project before they do a cost plan. -
The process notifies resource who has been added to investment today and allocation is greater or equal to 100%. The process is on-demand and would require the user to have appropriate rights to run the process. Process should be scheduled as daily once job. -
This process pulls in the total hours tracked, by resource, by task, for a given project for the weekly time period that ended. The information is sent to the Project Manager listed on the project. This process can be scheduled via the Execute a Process job. -
The Pending Contractor Termination Stalker process sends email to Resource Manager if the Contractor(s) termination date is 3 weeks or less. This is an On Demand process in Clarity named Contractor Reminders and can be manually executed from the Organizer. If there are number of processes in the Organizer – Available Processes, this process can be filtered and then checked to Start. When Contractor Reminders process is started it will be seen in the Initiated on the Processes tab. The process status can be monitored from Running to the Completed stage. The Progress when 100% and the Status is Completed an email would have arrived to the Resource Manager with subject: “Contractor(s) With Termination Date in 3 weeks or less”. This email will list the Contractors whose contracts will terminate on the identified date. -

Based on the pre-determined schedule frequency, this job will send an email to Resource Managers that have a Resource meeting the criteria of: Average allocations are less than 100% where Resource(s) and Project(s) are active over the next two weeks. This serves as a reminder to Resource Managers to monitor and manage allocations. The contents of the email include a message indicating the Resource Manager has at least one Resource meeting this criteria and a table indicating the Resource and that resource’s average, next 90 days allocations. -

The Enhanced Time Tracking Stalker – RM workflow process automatically sends a single email to Resource Managers which contains a list of any of their resources that have not submitted their timesheet for a prior open time period. The email informs the RM if their resources are submitting their timesheets on time. The email includes a table that provides this information for each resource: Resource Name, Time Period, Timesheet Status and Total Hours saved on the timesheet with links to the timesheet in the Modern User Experience of Clarity. These notifications will help to ensure that time is being posted and approved in a timely manner. -
The Timesheet Approval - RM 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 timesheet has less than 40 hours.
- The timesheet has 40 or more hours.
- The resource’s availability is less than 8hrs/day.
-
The Give RM Calendar & Time Rights workflow process can be run through the "Execute a Process" job. The workflow will execute a query that gives a Resource Manager Calendar Edit and Timesheet Edit rights for their resources. These rights are not inherent for Resource Managers when they are named as an individual’s resource manager. -
The Grant Edit Time to Proxy process utilizes the proxy feature within Clarity to assign timesheet edit rights to a proxy for any resources that the user is the current resource manager for. The process, when run, will also remove any timesheet edit rights for any users if the proxy has been removed or the resource manager has changed. This process would allow a resource manager to designate a subordinate the ability to enter time on other resources’ behalf while still going to the resource manager for approval. -
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. -
The Grant Approve Time to Proxy process utilizes the proxy feature within Clarity to assign timesheet approval and edit rights to a proxy for any resources that the user is the current resource manager for. The process, when run, will also remove any timesheet approval and edit rights for any users if the proxy has been removed or the resource manager has changed. This process is used for resource managers that will be out of the office. -
