How to manipulate Project Highlight Report to show Task Resource(s)

Hello Community, I am stuck and need some config guidance on this one. I am using the Project Highlight Report to send an HTML formatted report showing Project data. The specific issue is with the Tasks tables (Last week Actuall Start date/ Actual End Date) and Next week (start/Due date). Issue: Regardless of the code I use, I am not able to show the Task Resources associated with each task in the list. It seems the variable that pulls the Resource is capturing the resource on the first task and then uses the same resources for every other task.  I need a solution that will iterate on Tasks (from PHR custom action on Project) that meet the PHR criteria and show the unique resource from each task. Is this possible? Current usage is the PPR: ResourcesDisplay field but that pre-populates every time the # of resources changes. This does not show the true Resource on the Task. I changed this to run as a variable to pull the task resource but ran into the issue above where the resource for e

Can a reviewer add more reviewers in project himself?

I have added few persons as reviewers by default when a new project is created. Project manager can add more reviewers later on also. But can a reviewer add another reviewer to same project? Is this functionality directly available or do we need to think to provide editor access to that particular reviewer to achieve this?

Resetting user-set filters on a report

Hi Community,I have a report which is expected to be run via a button on a view of the project - the button (which is a custom URL field) passes in the Project name to an action which generates the report - see bottom of this email for how this works.My problem is that occasionally, the more enthusiastic users try editing the filters on the report so generated to see the data in a different way. Unfortunately, if they remove the filter, running the report via the button causes an error as their instance of the report is not expecting the field which is passed in. As an Admin, is there any way to reset the filters on user’s instance of a report remotely? Alternatively, is there any way to prevent users editing the filters on a report?ThanksJulian For information, the URL button code is:HyperLink(GetCustomActionUrl("Project Resource Profile Report", GetRuntimeParameter(currentObject())), "Run")

Management Job Title

Hello, good morning,If we manage rates by Job title in the system, we have seen that changing the job title modifies the project rates in the past, present and future.Is there any parameterization that allows the project finances to be maintained with the rates of the job titles that the resources had associated at some point?If the client changes the resource's Job title, what would be the best practice to rate the projects so that this situation does not affect the finances of previous periods in which the resource had another job title? RegardsJhon

How do I switch an inactive user to be active again - at task or project level?

When using the ‘replace resource’ function, we note the individual being replaced is automatically set to 100% and marked as an ‘inactive human resource’. However, we wanted to reinstate them on a project as staffing arrangements had changed, but we couldn’t do this. We had thought an Administrator might be able to override the default setting to 100% or that the individual themselves could override this but neither was successful. How do we reinstate them to tasks or projects where they have previously been replaced using the replace resource function?

JB ICE Duplicate tasks in the schedule

Hello, Issue Adaptive WorkPlease review the following project and the attached image, as we were unable to identify what caused the activities to appear duplicated in this schedule. It can be verified in the images that the activities are the same as they have the same ID.We tried to recreate the situation using the Copy/Paste option and we tried the export and import option in Excel and in neither situation were the activities duplicated, so we do not understand what caused this problem.  Regards Jhon

Suggestions for a project not adding hrs accurately?

I have a single project that is not counting all of the hours logged in it (all approved). 10h were worked but the project sums are only recognizing 9h. I submitted a support ticket which was escalated to Tier 3, who hasn’t responded in more than a month.  Has anyone else experienced this with a project?  Was there any solution provided?

Custom Object for dynamic scoring

Hi All!I am brand new to AdaptiveWork / Clarizen and trying to grasp how something like this would be built, and/or how easy it would be.Use Case:  We have about 20 fields with associated score values, and we wish to use the score values in a formula to calculate another field.Approach:  Rather than hardcoding the score values within a formula, I created a Custom Object with the possible field values and the associated scores. This seems easier to maintain than a ton of code. Also, I’m trying to learn how the product works so it’s also just for my curiousity.Question:  How hard is it to create Business Rule that looks at a field value, and then does a lookup to a record in a Custom Object and retrieve the Score value? I was able to get as far as retrieving a value from the Custom Object by using the GetObjectByID function, but only when I hardcoded in the ID.  I am looking to do a join on the Name field rather than ID between my request field and the possible entries of the Custom Obje

Renaming Objectives and Targets

Hi Planview community,We are introducing benefit realisation into our organisation and are interested in keeping language and terminology coherent throughout.We’ve noticed that the whole Objectives, Targets, and Contributions module is fit to tailor, and we love that 😍. However, we have encountered some cases in which customisation wasn’t possible.We were able to rename Targets to Benefits but failed to adjust the terminology in the “Related Items” section.Maybe some of you have found a way to adjust this? Would you kindly walk me through it?Thanks!Maca

Risk Assignment Email Notification

Hello PV Community, Seeking some advice on how to configure an email notification for when a new owner is assigned to a Risk and Action. I’ve got the action configured but could use some help on configuring the email notification.  What field can I input so in the email it shows the Risk’s associated Customer, Project and Link? When I select Formula Options, Project nor Customer is available to select.  I am sure there is a field somewhere that links the risk to the project it’s created under and I won’t have to create a new custom field.Appreciate any guidance. Thank you :)

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?

Financial Planning | Baseline

Hello everyone! I’m reaching out to gather some insights on how you manage to set a budget baseline for your projects after the initial project baseline has been established. Specifically, I’m curious about the following:Does setting a new budget baseline overwrite all the existing information? Is there a way to set a new budget baseline without affecting other baselines?Your experiences and tips would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and best practices!Thank you in advance for your help.Best regards,
