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 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 Global Action Items portlet will help users and clarity admins to keep track of action items in the CA PPM system. This is useful to keep track of Timesheet Approval through Action Item or any other Action Item related workflows. The portlet displays Name, Type Assignee, Created by, Due Date, Health and Status of the Action Items as default columns. The portlet provides  Project, Project Manager, Project OBS, Assignee, Status and Due Dates of the Action Items as default filters.

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 thresholds can, of course, be modified.

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 Adjusted Timesheet Stalker process is designed to be run via a scheduled job. The end user will need to set up the job and can choose the frequency at which this job should be run. The process will search the system for timesheets with a status of ‘Adjusted’. An email is sent to the resource manager for any resources identified as having adjusted timesheets. The email will provide: • Name of resource • Time period The resource manager is advised that once the timesheet is resubmitted, they will need to approve it. A link to the timesheet itself is provided in the body of the email.  

The portlet displays posted time by project for the logged in user based on time period and date range.  This allows the user to see at a glance their ETC and actuals on the projects. The portlet displays the Total Allocation and Total Actuals to Date for the user on the projects they are allocated/assigned to.  The actuals are displayed per month in the form of TSVs.
