Working days vs Calendar days on Lag Duration Import (DependencyLinks)

I am importing a project WBS and I am building a data loader import to capture the predecessor information for each workitem as a DependencyLinks import. In the source data, some of the Lag durations are in workdays (d) and some are in calendar days (ed). ed basically includes weekends, holidays, etc.  Is there a way to indicate the difference between these two duration types for my import?

July Release Work Details Screen Not accessible

Anyone else having issues after the July Release?  Our user base cannot view the entire Work Details screen. Our screen is configured to use Smart logic - Sections of the screen are visible based on work classification type. Our end users are not able to see sections based on work classifications, only the top section which is open to all. Strangely, admins cannot see this issue, which makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

Notifications for documents uploaded to projects in Portfolios

Hello,We have a team that reviews documents associated with a project; this is initiated by a lifecycle step.  Sometimes they have to send it back to the user for revision.   They would like to receive an automated notification when the file has been updated and re-uploaded...sometimes more than once.  Have any of you have been able to make this happen without creating additional lifecycle steps to loop the document/content review process?  Thank you.

Planned Hours Remaining and Revised Estimate

Now that the Planned Hours Remaining field has been fixed, we turned it back on and noticed that there was an alert when a user has negative hours. This alert instructs users to enter a new estimate in the Revised Estimate column but we don’t have that column turned on as it does not alert the project manager who is usually not the resource manager that they need more hours.  How could we do one of the following?Update that message to instruct them to reach out to the project manager Turn off the alert when we don’t use the Revised Hours column Add Revised Estimates field as a reportable field either in an existing or new report or in a tile

Planview Timesheet Warning for May 30th – Expected 10 Hours Instead of 8

We ran into an odd issue with Planview on Monday, May 30th, which was the start of our workweek (we run Monday–Sunday). When submitting timesheets, the system flagged a warning expecting 10 hours to be reported for that day, even though everything seems to indicate it should be 8 hours.Here’s what I’ve checked so far:The calendar setup looks correct. Timesheet hours per week are set to 40 hours. Planned effort for that day was 8 hours.I can’t figure out where the 10-hour expectation is coming from. Has anyone else encountered this or have ideas on what might be causing it?

How to know who is current time approver (Project time, StandardTaskTime, RequestTime) for any resources through DB table/view.

How can admin user know, who is current project time approver, standard task time approver, request time approver as per project or standard task allocation to user to submit their time sheet.There are multiple setting including delegation in changepoint throgh, time sheet aprpover can be defined. But my question is that, if any user ask where is my time sheet is pending with, then admin user must have some DB table/view, so that query can be answered immediately rather than checking which seeting has been applied for that user.Also, My request to product team, take it as an enhancement, time sheet approval pending with “column” must be included in all core tables: Time, StandardTaskTime, RequestTime.Meanwhile, if there are any wayaround please let me know.

Time Off - Standard Activities

We have an issue when putting time off for individuals - Lets say two weeks in July.  Any assignment they are assigned doesn’t respect this time off. If just doubles the hours.  If they are mark as already having 100 utilization as being off, why does the system just add 40 hours to this any time the task is adjust or if they are assigned something new.  As people schedule for vacations it just puts them as over everywhere in the system.  Any thoughts on how to make this easier.

How to resolve grayed out records in transfer module.

while transfer the records/entity from one resource to another resource, we found some records are in grayed out and unable to transfer that records. but there is no “notification” or “help” is avaialbe to know the reason behind this, why these records are not able to transfer. For example: transfer all those opportuntiy where user “A” is salesrep to user “B”. but while searching that records from resource “A” to To Resource “B”, multiple records comes with gray out and unable to transfer. As a product enhancement, all relevant features/right must be auto grant/revoke while using transfer module or there must be clear message for not able to transfer records. so that admin/user can work out on that part and transfer the records. Also we found that, while using transfer module, there is no history is being maintained on UI level, while history is enabled for “sales representative” UDF field.
