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 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 Timesheet Approval - Auto process is an auto-start process that begins once the resource submits his or her timesheet. This process bypasses a Resource Manager approval and allows the user to post his or her timesheet. 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:- The timesheet has less than 40 hours.
- The timesheet has 40 or more hours.
- The resource’s availability is less than 8hrs/day.
-
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. -
A Process run via Execute a Process job; sends an email to active resources, containing a facsimile of their Resource Allocation Detail page. It shows the next six weeks of allocations by investment, with a column total. The email also contains a click here link to this page in CA PPM, to enable editing of the data, as appropriate. -
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
