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. -

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. -
This training document is a Rego Consulting Quick Reference Guide to assist with Time Entry Administration Settings for Timesheets. This doc references version 16.0.3 views.

This portlet pulls back the Availability and Allocation totals by Role between a user-specified Start and Finish Date, then the user can drilldown to look at the information for Applications. The Time Period filter allows for comparing these values across different timeframes (monthly, weekly, quarterly, annual) as desired. Other filters allow for looking at Active or Inactive Roles (or both) and including Active or Inactive Projects (or both) in the totals. -
Capacity Graph report provides the Resource Managers & PMO a single place to view Monthly Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for one or more active resources. Information is displayed in the form of a line chart. Legend displays the color associated with each metric. Mouse over the line chart displays hours associated with that corresponding metric. This report provides Managers a simple means to analyze: Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability and helps in determining the areas of improvement. User can further narrow their search by OBS Type & Path, Month Start Date, Resource Name, Resource Manager, Primary Role & Employment Type. -
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.
-
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. -
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. -
The Grant Resources Timesheet Edit Rights process will grant each resource timesheet edit instance rights to his or her own timesheets. This process will not remove any existing timesheet edit instance rights. -
