The Allocations and Assignments report displays resource assignments and allocations across multiple projects. This report will provide a single view of the assigned data for all assignments across multiple projects in-line with their allocations. The data is displayed by monthly periods. The horizontal and vertical sums provide a cumulative picture resource wise and month wise respectively. Filters provide the user the ability to monitor data across multiple projects. Filters include investment type, investment, resource, active/inactive resource or investment along with OBS type and OBS unit. If multiple projects are utilizing the same resource, the PM or RM can filter for assignments/allocations utilizing that specific resource to prevent over-allocations or under-allocations. -

Portlet to show the stage of any Action Item triggered by Timesheet submission. Portlet allows for a period start date input, filters by Resource, Approver, Action Item Status and Timesheet Status. A link to the action item is provided for direct action by review if needed. This portlet is only for the clients who have established a process that triggers on Timesheet Status change to Submitted and to send Action Items to the person responsible for timesheet approval/validation i.e. PM for project tracking and/or RM for overall approval of the timesheet. The portlet won’t display any data if there are no timesheet Action Items. Examples of such processes would be CA’s OOTB Project Manager Approval or the Timesheet Approval - PM and RM process found on RegoXchange. -
Rego’s Clarity Adoption Metrics package consists of two sets of metrics: Project metrics, and Resource metrics. Project metrics measure how effectively project managers are using Clarity to manage their projects. Resource metrics measure how effectively resource managers are using Clarity to manage resources. Metrics are scored on a scale of 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater adoption and use. All metrics can be viewed numerically or graphically, and can be broken out by OBS. In addition, metric data can display as a 12-month rolling history to help identify trends. Project metrics can also display by lowest / highest adoption rates for a specific resource metric or all resource metrics. There is a variety of way to view the Adoption Metric data, therefore, Rego has made this simple by creating an Adoption Metrics object that contains multiple tabs. Each tab displays one or more of the Project or Resource Adoption Metrics. Based on the nature of the Metrics some tabs will allow the ability to use a pull down menu to select a specific Adoption Metric. There is also a Metrics trending view that pulls monthly snapshots of the metrics. Project metrics consist of the following: - Project Status Reporting – Measures how well PMs create and publish project status reports.
- Project Risk Adoption – Measures how well Risks are being used and managed.
- Project Issue Adoption – Measures how well Issues are being used and managed.
- Project Schedule – Measures how well PMs create tasks and keep the project schedule current.
- Project Baseline – Measures whether or not baselines exist.
- Project Zero ETC’s – Measures how well the PM assigns resources to tasks with ETCs.
- Project Past ETC’s – Measures how many improperly scheduled tasks the PM has.
- Project Milestone / Key Tasks – Measures how well PMs create and manage Milestones / Key Tasks.
- Project Schedule Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their schedules.
- Project Effort Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their project efforts.
- Project Budget Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage budgets or cost plans.
- Project Unfilled Roles – Measures project roles with allocations that are already started or starting within the next 30 days.

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 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. -
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 produces a Grid View of Resources using total Resource Allocation from each Project’s Team / Staff, per month; output is expressed as a %. Users can specify which Resource OBS to use as a Filter (unit and descendants is assumed) as well as a Start/End Date.
