The Turn off Notifications process disables all Email, SMS and Alerts notifications for all users. This process is helpful if users would not like to receive emails from the system regarding actions items, timesheet submissions, etc. The script may be modified to include all users or all users that have been created within the last day. -
The Users Logged In portlet displays all users logged into the system. This portlet is helpful to determine the capacity during peak times, users still working before downtime, and the ability to view users logged in during the day. The portlet will display the resource, ID, OBS unit, OBS path, and when the user’s session was last updated. -
The My Assignments portlet will display the assignments for the logged in user - pulling data from the timeslices. It is used as a quick reference for the users to view their assignments across all of the projects. The portlet also displays work posted against the task, expressed in Actuals, and remaining work to be done, expressed as an Estimate to Complete (ETC). The Effort Variance reflects what the ETC variance is compared to the last current baseline of the project. -
The Allocation Compliance by Person (Project Manager) portlet gives a view of resource allocation compliance for active resources on the team of an investment the logged in user is the manager for. It allows the PM to see resources on their project over the coming months and whether they are over or under allocated. This portlet leverages the daily allocation and daily availability slices as well as only active investments. The portlet provides filters for specific dates, filtering by resource ID, and resource name may also be added. -
The All Status Reports portlet displays any published Status Report related to a project or across multiple projects. The filter then allows the user to narrow their search by Project Manager, Project, Status or Overall Status Category (overall, cost & effort, scope or schedule). The user may also select if they wish to view only current Status Reports, or to include historical reports as well. The portlet provides the project manager a single place to view all of the status reports without having to go into each project individually, and allows for more efficient management and reporting across projects. Note: Only the projects that the user has view rights to will show up in the list. -
The Allocations and Assignments report displays resource assignments and allocations across multiple projects. This report will provide a single view of the assigned data for all assignments across multiple projects in-line with their allocations. The data is displayed by monthly periods. The horizontal and vertical sums provide a cumulative picture resource wise and month wise respectively. Filters provide the user the ability to monitor data across multiple projects. Filters include investment type, investment, resource, active/inactive resource or investment along with OBS type and OBS unit. If multiple projects are utilizing the same resource, the PM or RM can filter for assignments/allocations utilizing that specific resource to prevent over-allocations or under-allocations. -
The Resource Time Summary and Detail report provides insight into timesheet hours and notes for each resource across selected time periods. Data can be grouped by resource manager, time period, or any OBS level to support flexible analysis. Interactive visuals allow easy tracking, monitoring, and review of resource time allocation. -
The Project Status Summary report highlights the overall health and progress of a project by summarizing key information such as current stage, status indicators, major accomplishments, upcoming activities, and resource and cost consumption. It also visualizes risk concentration across categories and includes a high-level Gantt chart showing major phases and milestones. This report provides a clear snapshot of project performance for quick executive or stakeholder review.
