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 Project Close Process workflow process aides the Project Manager in some routine close out tasks that accompany every project. Marking the project inactive starts the process and it will continue down one of two paths:
- Once the project is inactive, the process will then check to see if there is no remaining estimate to complete (ETC) still on the project. If there is ETC leftover, then the process will go into a waiting state for 14 days to allow the project manager to cleanup or to cancel the process if it was done in error. After 14 days, the process will check to see if the project is active. If the project is active, then the process will end. However, if the project is still inactive, the process will continue with the closeout activities even if there is ETC still on the project.
- If the project is marked inactive after the initial 14 days of waiting if applicable, then the process will immediately move to the closeout activities.
- Turning off time entry for the project, tasks and project members
- Updates the ETC, proposed ETC, and pending estimates to 0
- Updates the task status and assignment status to Completed
- Sets the task, assignment and project finish dates to today’s date only if the finish dates are after the process run date
- Sets all Risks and Issues to Closed with a resolution of “## This was closed automatically as part of the project close process ##”
- Set future hard allocation and allocation finish dates to today when the date is after today’s date

The Open and Close Periods process closes the earliest open time period and opens the first closed time period after the latest open time period. This process may be used for a non-administrator to open and close time periods without having access to the administrative side. The process is executed through the job Execute Process. For example, our oldest time period is January 6, and our most recent is May 1, it would close out January 6, and open a time period for the week after May 1.
