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?

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.

Managing Milestone Roadmap Options?

Aside from the action menu ‘Roadmap Visibility’, is there any way to see how Milestones are set for display in roadmaps within a grid view like a normal field? Or to see how multiple milestones are set without having to actually launch a roadmap to see it.  By needing to make 2+ clicks just to see the option for each individual milestone (when not inside of a roadmap) is mind numbing.  Where is the setting stored and can it be exposed / managed via a field? Hoping there’s a better way… or maybe there will soon be a better way?

Skills - Proficiencies and Capacity Planning

As of right now, the only way that I think I’d be able to track skill proficiency levels is by creating a new skill for each level of proficiency. It would be great if Adaptivework had a way to track proficiencies within each skill.Also, being able to sort the capacity planning module by skill would help identify future demand/internal capacity for hiring decision making.

Custom Action to change views

Hi Everyone,Hoping this is an easy answer.  Is there a way to utilize a custom action to change the view of a project?  I have a couple use cases where I need to have a user change from a project details ‘overview’ view to a gantt chart view and would like to have that fire off via custom action rather than have the user manipulate the ‘project details’ view manually.I am leveraging the Dynamic Layouts to manipulate the project details, but need to move to a gantt view. Thank you!

Document Publisher interactions with Targets or Contributions

I have been trying to generate a document publisher report on a Project that creates a related table from the Targets module. Every approach I’ve tried has caused the file to be corrupted with the error “Word found unreadable content in test.docx. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? Approaches triedTargets via AssociatedItem (the obvious answer) Targets with my own reverse reference Targets via ContributingWorkItems (not sure if this is a real capability) Contributions AssociatedItem TargetHierarchyLink with my own reverse referenceI noticed the doc publisher macro template doesn’t include any reference to Targets or Objectives, so I’m wondering if perhaps it’s just not supported?I did verify that Slide Publisher can pull the same data out, so definitely just a problem specific to makin word docs.Interested to hear from anyone who has managed to generate a related table of targets in document publisher, and what sort of comment syntax you’re using :)

How to use a 'Portfolio Project Link' as Evaluation Criteria

Looking to create a Custom Action that is only available on projects that are associated to a particular Portfolio.  I was encouraged to attempt to reference portfolios by the ID field, rather than by name or use of a toggle, but a custom field(toggle) has been the only way I’ve been successful thus far.  I’ve tried using multiple syntax variations of the GetLink function but that doesn’t seem to support a Portfolio Project Link.  e.g. GetLink($ProjectPortfolioLink,'PF-101',CurrentObject()) » Error: Invalid field name: 'ProjectPortfolioLink'.   I’ve tried other Work Item-to-Work Item links without success.  Is a custom field on the project the way to go?  Should Reporting and KPIs be driven off of the toggle as well?

Splitting Resource Assignments on a Project (e.g. by different skills)

Hello, We have a case where some of our resources have multiple skills. How can we specify which skill is potentially being utilised on a Project when a resource is assigned?For example a PM adds Resource 1 who has two skills. On this particular project they are only utilising one skill. The PM adds Task Assignment over the required period etc. In reports, we can’t specify which skill is being utilised on the ProjectDoes anyone have any ideas to manage this or potentially another solution potentially through a custom field? e.g. a picklist in the Resource assignment panels when the PM can select which of the users skill is being utilised etc. Many Thanks

Exception Categories

Hello everyone 👋 We are setting up our instance of AdaptiveWork and can see some great functionality with individual calendars using the exception types to put in their leave etc. However, although we have been able to add our own categories, we have not been able to work out how to delete the other items in the pick list. We are finding that the categories are adding confusion that are already in e.g. PTO and vacation for us would be the same definition.  We have changed our categories to have numbers at the beginning so that they go to the top but is there a way to delete the other options?

Adjusting a Resource’s Capacity with an Effective Date

What’s the best approach, if any, to set an effective date for a new capacity so that future tasks reflect the updated capacity, while past assignments and capacity remain unchanged? We pull capacity reports and are transitioning a full-time employee to part-time. When we update the capacity in the and dates in their calendar, it ends up affecting the capacity for past dates as well.

Non Labor - How to have multiple times the same non labor item (name) within a project, with different additional fields

I need to distinguish in my projects different non-labor expenses categories. This distinction shall be done per location. Example : “non-labor resources A” for location A, and “non-labor resources A” for location B.One of the solution would be to differentiate in the non-labor resources list them (ie “non-labor resources A location A” and a second one “non-labor resources A location B”). Doing so, the list of choices proposed to the project manager will explode (in my case more than 60), which will not be that easy for the userIve seen in the last AW documentation (see below) that there is an example with “vendor” column, whcih can be edited. Does it mean that i can have (to stay in the example below) multiple times “Telephone” with different vendor? Or there is still the limitation that the non labor resources can be used only once ?Any idea how i can solve my issue?

Approvals Module - Ability to Sort

Hello, Our PMO are Superusers within AdaptiveWork but will also be approving timesheets and supporting other staff with their timesheets. As we are superusers, we can see all timesheets within the system as a big list. However, when we go to the approvals module, we cannot filter effectively on items such asApprover User type ManagerThis will lead to issues in supporting staff effectively and would prefer to have the functionality that is available in the other areas where you can set a view and filter. Any help or development in place?
