  • The Clarity Health portlet provides a quick glance into the health of key components and critical jobs in the Clarity environment. The following metrics are monitored: Process Engine  Heartbeat should refresh itself every 10 minutes. Process Engine is responsible for the triggering of processes. Green <= 10 Minutes, Yellow 11-15 Minutes, Red > 15 Minutes Time Slices Time Slices are required for accurate reporting. Best practice is for the Time Slicing job to run every minute. Please note there are some jobs that will cause the time slicing to delay so a momentary delay is normal. Green <= 10 Minutes, Yellow 11-15 Minutes, Red > 15 Minutes Datamart Extraction Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Datamart Rollup Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Rate Matrix - Full Best practice is to run a full rate matrix nightly Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Rate Matrix - Incremental Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Load Data Warehouse - Full Load Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Load Data Warehouse - Incremental                      Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours Load Data Warehouse Access Rights Green <= 24 Hours, Yellow 24-48 hours, Red > 48 hours
  • The Creating Dependent Lookups Based On Other Fields On The Same Page document provides the steps needed to allow a user to create lookups whose values are dependent on other fields on the same page. Having the ability to use a lookup field whose list of values change based on other fields values on the same page can help reduce the number of fields that might be required and provide more relevant options to the user based on other data selections.
  • Do you want to improve the success of your CA PPM projects? This class will discuss some lessons learned on making CA PPM projects more successful. We will discuss things like
    • developing robust test plans, creating effective use and test cases, and implementing test scripts that make sense.
    • why failures occur, and what you can do to minimize the impact and plan for success: case study in lessons learned.
    • developing, testing, fine tuning, and executing deployment plans for success.
  • 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.
    • Project Issue Adoption – Measures how well Issues are being used and managed.
    • Project Schedule – Measures how well PMs create tasks and keep the project schedule current.
    • Project Baseline – Measures whether or not baselines exist.
    • Project Zero ETC’s – Measures how well the PM assigns resources to tasks with ETCs.
    • Project Past ETC’s – Measures how many improperly scheduled tasks the PM has.
    • Project Milestone / Key Tasks – Measures how well PMs create and manage Milestones / Key Tasks.
    • Project Schedule Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their schedules.
    • Project Effort Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage their project efforts.
    • Project Budget Variance – Measures how effectively PMs manage budgets or cost plans.
    • Project Unfilled Roles – Measures project roles with allocations that are already started or starting within the next 30 days.
    • Project Data Quality – Measures how effectively PMs complete the Description, Stage, Progress, Objective, and Sponsor/Business Owner fields.
    • Project Commitment – Measures the hard allocations for a project over a two week time frame.
    Resource Metrics consist of the following:
    • Resource Clarity Usage – Measures how often users log into Clarity.
    • Resource Timesheet – Measures if timesheets post in a timely manner.
    • Resource Allocation – Measures how well RMs keep total resource allocations within the expected range for future time periods.
    • Resource Actualy Utilization – Measures how well Resource allocations match actuals.
    • Resource Allocation Date in the Past – Measures how many resources are open for time entry with dates in the past.
    • Resource Data Quality – Measures how well RMs complete the Resource Manager and Primary Role fields and optionally the Skill and Employment Type fields.
    • Resource Commitment – Measures how much resource available time is committed to projects.
  • This Tech Trick provides step-by-step instructions for adding images into Clarity v13+ for use in portlets.
  • Project by Stage is a bar chart that displays count of projects by out of box Stage attribute.  Stage attribute values are plotted on Y axis. Label on the bar chart slice displays the count of projects associated with that respective Stage value.  User can further drill down the information to investment level by clicking on particular bar slice.  You can further narrow your search by OBS Type & Path, Investment Manager.
  • 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.
  • Learn basic administrative tasks in this basic administration CA PPM training, which includes setting up resources, security groups, OBSs, lookups, time reporting periods, fiscal time periods, calendars, jobs, and timeslices. These activities are focused on ongoing support vs. new configuration.
  • Do you want to understand the OOTB configuration and functionality of roadmap management?  In this class, we will review the OOTB objects, views, and functions of roadmap management.
  • Do you want to add REST interfaces to your Clarity instance? We’ll walk you through specific custom interface examples in GEL and showcase Rego’s Data Processor REST capabilities you can leverage to reduce the time and cost of implementation.
  • This training document is a Rego Consulting Quick Reference Guide to assist with the saving and managing of Roadmap views in Clarity’s Modern User Experience.  This doc references version 16.1 views. Document provides detail on the Save As feature for Roadmap views. Detail is provided on views created by others, how to manage existing views and how to save them as favorites. Timeline, Board and Grid view saving options are detailed.
