This video covers the process of accessing timesheets within Clarity, both as a team member and as a Project or Resource Manager. -
This solution provides an administrator the ability to log into the CA Clarity application as any user in the system. This ability is especially helpful when troubleshooting user issues and security settings. (Will not work with On-Demand Instances.) -
The Allow PM to Give Certain Rights modification allows the project manager to delegate rights (chosen by the administrator on the PM Rights object) on his or her projects. This modification eliminates the need for project managers to request additional rights through the PMO/management and simplifies the entire process for everyone involved. The system administrator is able to customize the PM Rights object to pick which rights should be granted to users by the process. The process begins when a change is made on the newly created “Grant / Revoke” field on the project object. The process will then grant or revoke (depending on what option is selected) any rights listed in the PM Rights object to the user in the “Assign PM Rights” field on the project object. -
Allocation Compliance Area Chart provides the resource manager a single place to view the Monthly Resource Allocation compliance for all resources in the form of an Area chart. Allocation Compliance is calculated based on the value of 'Availability to Allocation Hours %' Allocation Compliance is 'Under Allocated (Less Than 80%)' WHEN 'Availability to Allocation Hours %’ is less than 80 Allocation Compliance is 'Appropriately Allocated (Between 80-120%)' WHEN 'Availability to Allocation Hours %' is between 80 and 120 Allocation Compliance is 'Over Allocated (Over 120%)' WHEN 'Availability to Allocation Hours %' is greater than 120 User can further narrow their search by Resource Is Active?, OBS Type, OBS Path and Month Start Date. User can use exact dates or relative dates for Month Start Date filter parameter. -
Course description: “Does CA PPM Timeslice functionality seem like a foreign language to you? This intro to timeslices will cover an Overview of Timeslice Fundamentals, Terminology, Best Practices, Diagnostics, and the basic SQL Constructs to get you started.” -
Course description: “Do you have users that just want an XLS or CSV file emailed to them with data? This session will be a hands-on lab to create a workflow process that will pull data from CA PPM and email that data in a file to a user or group of users.” Download file is the slide deck used during the presentation. -
Course Description: “For clients that have both ServiceNow and CA PPM, passing information between the systems becomes vital for the enterprise with both ITSM and PPM toolsets. One of the biggest areas of interaction is around Demand Management. Come and see Rego's Integration solution which flexibly allows for ServiceNow records (Incident, Problem, Idea, Enhancement, and Demands) to generate CA PPM Ideas or Projects. This lets you control where you want to perform Demand Management, and the work lands in CA PPM's Project either way.” Download is the slide deck used for the presentation. -
The Timesheet Smoothing Process Workflow kicks-off when an individual timesheet is Submitted. It splits each transaction on the timesheet when total timesheet actuals exceed total weekly availability for the resource. Total weekly availability is determined by multiplying resource availability rate by the number of workdays in the week. Non-workdays include weekends, holidays, PTO, and other scheduled days off, as set on the resource calendar. If timesheet actuals <= total weekly availability, then the timesheet remains unchanged. But if timesheet actuals > total weekly availability, then the following occurs. Each timesheet transaction is reduced by a calculated percentage that will reduce the total regular hours to equal the total weekly availability. Then the remaining transaction hours are placed in a “Split” row for that task on that day, with an Input Type Code set based on a process parameter (which parameter can be set within the script action on the process). Note: If a single day has overtime hours, but the total timesheet actuals <= total weekly availability, no splitting occurs. -
This Process sends an email to every Action Item Assignee where the Due Date/Time has passed and the Status is either Open, or In Progress. Users may want to modify this stalker to include Status = Deferred. In addition, the Resource Manager for the Assignee receives a copy of the email. In order to generate emails, the SMTP gateway must be up and running and Resources must have a valid email address. -
A process creating a new Cost Plan. Cost Plan properties:
Pre-conditions:Name Cost Plan created on: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss Grouping attributes Charge Code, Transaction Type Start Period The earliest fiscal period with Actuals (from PPA_WIP table) or current period, if there are no actuals Finish Period The latest fiscal period with a non-zero allocation (from PRJ_BLB_SLICES table, SLICE_REQUEST_ID = 6 Period Type Monthly Plan of Record True Planned Cost For periods in the past – from Actuals (Charge Code, Transaction Type, Quantity (Units), Cost (Amount) taken from Transactions (PPA_WIP & PPA_WIP_DETAILS); For current and future periods – from Allocations (Charge Code taken from the Project, Transaction Class from the Resource, Quantity from allocation slices, Cost from the Rate Matrix (NBI_PROJ_RES_RATES_AND_COSTS table) - the Project must be financially enabled.
- if a new Team Member is added, Rate Matrix job must be run, so the rates are populated in the NBI table.
- if the Allocation changes, allow the timeslice job to finish before running the process.
- the Project should have the Charge Code set.

A process that:- is a weekly email to a project manager. All of the content will be for where the person getting the email is the PM
- shows aggregate data for all of their projects
- sends the PM a reminder email at the end of each week showing the items that the PM needs to do. Maybe call it Weekly PM reminder.
- Shows the mentioned data in sections as follows:
- Past Due issues
- Only active projects
- Only open issues – not resolved or closed
- Show project name, project ID, issue name, issue priority, target resolution date, color (only red or yellow)
- Logic for Yellow = where target resolution is within the next week
- Logic for Red = target resolution date is in the past
- URL LINK: to that issue
- Past Due Risks
- Only active projects
- Only open risks – not resolved or closed
- Show project name, project ID, risk name, risk priority, target resolution date, color (only red or yellow)
- Logic for Yellow = where target resolution is within the next week

- URL LINK: to that risk
- Past Due Status Report
- Only active projects
- Show project name, project ID, report date, most recent overall status, color (only red or yellow)
- Only 1 line per project – show even if there is no status report
