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 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:

1. The timesheet has less than 40 hours.
2. The timesheet has 40 or more hours.
3. The resource’s availability is less than 8hrs/day.

If the user has submitted a timesheet with less than 40 hours, then the process will email the user informing him/her of issue, unlocks the timesheet, and changes the status to “Returned”. If the user has an availability of less than 8hrs/day or the timesheet has 40 or more hours, then an action item will be sent to the resource manager informing him/her of the timesheet. If the resource manager (RM) AND project manager (PM) approves the action item, then the process will approve the timesheet and unlock the timesheet. However, if the RM or PM selects “Return” on the action item, then the process will return the timesheet, mail the user that informing him/her that the timesheet has been returned, and unlock the timesheet.

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.

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 greater than 120% where Resource(s) and Project(s) are active over the next 90 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.

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 Lock Inactive Users workflow process will automatically lock all user accounts when their last login date was more than 60 days ago.  The process can be scheduled to run daily or can be run on demand when resource account cleanup is needed.

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.

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 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 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.

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.
