This is workflow that allows you to copy documents from one item to another. This can be altered to move documents from any place they are stored to another. In this particular instance, the focus is on moving documents from one risk to another. When creating a risk that you want to copy from, utilize the attachments section of the page and the associated lookup. The lookup is filtered to only show those risks that already have documents associated with them. Upon clicking the save button, a process runs in the background to copy the requested documents from the requested risk to this newly created risk. -
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

- 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
- Logic for Red = target resolution date is in the past
- 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)

- Logic for Red = where last updated date of the plan of record > 30 days ago
- URL LINK: to cost plan
- Allocation Summary for the Project Team
- Past Due issues

This process, Shift Project Dates, helps Project Managers change an entire Project / Idea’s dates to a new start date. Once the three attributes are added to the Idea /Project Views, the PM can trigger the process by entering a date in the New Start Date field and checking the Shift checkbox. The process runs automatically on Save. The process calculates the date difference between the original Start Date and New Start Date then shifts all Allocation, Task, and Assignment dates by the calculated difference. For example, if a Project is set to begin on January 1st and needs to be pushed to a February 1st start date, the process first determines that there are 31 days between the original start date and the new date. Next the process increases the start date for each Task, Allocation and Assignment by 31 days. NOTE: The process will shift Allocation dates regardless of resource restrictions such as a Termination Date or non-working time as marked on their calendar. The Team page will reflect the Available Start and Finish as shifted by the process, but the Allocation hours and % will take unavailable time into account. For example, if a shift process sets the start date for a resource to be after their date of termination the dates will change by the date difference, but the Allocation hours will correctly be calculated as zero. -
Based on the pre-determined schedule frequency, this job will send an email to Project Managers that have a project meeting the criteria of: project(s) are active and scheduled finish date is less than the current date. This serves as a reminder to Project Managers to keep their schedules true. The contents of the email include a message indicating the project manager has at least one project meeting this criteria and a table indicating the Project ID, Project Name and Scheduled Finish Date. -
The Grant Team Project Edit Rights workflow allows a project manager to grant Project – Edit Management rights to all users staffed on the project. This workflow saves not only the project manager time by allowing all users on the project to update information, but also saves the administrator time from granting each resource these rights individually. The process will also remove any rights from members that have been removed from the project. -
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.
