  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Course description: “Is there a way to simplify time tracking? Time is a function 90% of companies use. What are ways to have time be less of a burden to users? How can you minimize the negative perception? This session will discuss options within CA PPM or outside CA PPM to make time tracking less of a burden for all.”  Download file is the presentation slide deck.

  • 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.
