  • The Current Proxies portlet provides a user with an overview of all the resources in the system currently using a proxy. This portlet is helpful to determine a proxy if a user is currently out of the office. The portlet provides several pieces of information related to the resource including: resource names, proxy, start date, end date, days remaining, total days, and if the proxy is active.  The user may filter by resource name, proxy name, proxy status (defaults to Yes), and start/end dates (defaults to the current date).
  • The Allocation Compliance Pie Chart portlet gives a view of active resources' allocation compliance within a date range and OBS displayed in a pie chart.  It allows the user to the percentage of resources over, under, and adequately staffed on projects over a selected time period.   This portlet leverages the daily allocation and daily availability slices as well as only active investments.  The portlet provides filters for specific dates (required) and OBS.
  • Process provides the RM with assigned resources availability percentage for the next four weeks.  Grid displays all resources with their total allocated hours by week, and an average availability percent (4 Wk Avail %) for next four weeks.  If % Available is negative, this indicates an over-allocation.  Zero% Average Availability indicates fully allocated (no remaining availability).  Links at the resource name allow for modifications by the RM.

  • Assignments by Task Over Time report display all assignments by task for all resources.  Information can be drilled down to yearly, quarterly or monthly level. This report helps in determining the tasks a user is assigned to or how many hours a user is assigned to a task. You can further narrow your search by OBS Type & Path, Project ID, Project Name, Task Name, Assignment Resource, Is project Active?, Is Template? And Month End date.
  • The Timesheet Smoothing Process Workflow kicks-off when an individual timesheet is Submitted.  It splits each transaction on the timesheet when total timesheet actuals exceed total weekly availability for the resource.  Total weekly availability is determined by multiplying resource availability rate by the number of workdays in the week.  Non-workdays include weekends, holidays, PTO, and other scheduled days off, as set on the resource calendar.  If timesheet actuals <= total weekly availability, then the timesheet remains unchanged.  But if timesheet actuals > total weekly availability, then the following occurs. Each timesheet transaction is reduced by a calculated percentage that will reduce the total regular hours to equal the total weekly availability.  Then the remaining transaction hours are placed in a “Split” row for that task on that day, with an Input Type Code set based on a process parameter (which parameter can be set within the script action on the process). Note:  If a single day has overtime hours, but the total timesheet actuals <= total weekly availability, no splitting occurs.
  • A Resource Calendar sub-object is populated by a non-object-specific process, executed by the “Execute a Process” job, which can be scheduled. The first 7 rows of the sub-object display the standard week from the base calendar, including columns for Day of Week, Is Workday (checked/unchecked), Shifts, and work Hours available. The remaining rows display calendar exceptions, including columns for Day of Week, Exception Date, Is Exception (checked), and work Hours available.  If exception changes to a workday, Is Workday column is checked, and Shifts also display.  If exception changes to a non-workday, Is PTO column is checked. Resource Calendar object is filterable by Calendar Entry Type (All, Calendar Exception, Day of Week), Day of Week, Exception Date Range, Is Workday, Is Exception, Is PTO, and power filter.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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:
    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) approves the action item, then the process will approve the timesheet and unlock the timesheet. However, if the RM 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 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 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.
