I am creating a project template in which i added 5 milestones. I have given the dependency for milestones as predecessors and successors. Still it allowed me to complete the milestone 3 before I completed milestone 2. How to put restriction? Do i need to write workflow rule? Then what is the use of setting dependency in workplan?

I am working on a validation rule that stops Project Managers from updating task progress before activating the project. I’m running into issues with the Evaluation Criteria and I am hoping you all might be able to help. The trigger is only working if I manually update the % complete at the project level. If I update a task below and it rolls up the % complete, the validation doesn’t trigger. What do I need to add so it triggers when I update % complete at the project or task level? 

I’m thinking about using Placeholders to help with planning future resource loads.  Reading this Placeholder Resources – Clarizen Success I notice that it says:   Before you begin, enable Placeholder Resources in System Settings under Resource Management.       Note: After enabling this setting, you will not be able to disable it.Is there any downside of having Placeholder Resources enabled?Even if I decide not to use the idea after all?Just a bit worried I’m committing to an irreversible change without knowing the impact!Also, is anyone aware of a video demonstrating their use?

Does Project Financials have impact based on the work item states?For example: Part of my project is on-hold, so those work items on-hold - we do not want project financials to roll-up or calculate into total project financial. Is there any state of work item which will help us to uncount the financials?

Hi all, I need help with a custom action that creates a new Issue record from an existing Risk record. The custom action works but I need to add the reference to the associated records. So, if I’m looking at the Issue record, I should see the risk record that it was created from and vice versa. It only seems to work one way. Plus, on the newly created Issue record, the reference to the associated Risk record is incorrectly labeled as ‘Issue Record’. It should be labeled as ‘1 Risk Record’. Screenshot below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Here are the current choices for "Exception Types" that we see in AdaptiveWork and would like to edit (to match our actual time-off reporting system).Is this list configurable? :  I thought it might come from the “Resource Utilization Category” picklist mentioned in another topic but it doesn’t seem to be related to that Work Item property (which IS customizable).

Hello Community, When our admins add a new user to the system, is there a way for this new user to be automatically added as a resource to certain work items in a project?Our use case is, when we have a new employee join, there are a set of work items/timecodes that they’ll need, and it gets a bit tedious adding each new resource to the 10+ work items. I’ve tried adding them to a user group, where it’s listed as a resource to those work items but it doesn’t appear to work. Maybe through data loader?Any advice? Many thanks! 

Hello, I’d like to create a custom workflow that adds an Expense Sheet every time a new user is added to the system, assigning the newly created user as the owner of the expense sheet.I’ve gotten this far (screenshot) on the custom workflow, but when I tested it, the owner defaults to me, not the newly created user.Any ideas on what I may be missing?Also a bonus if anyone knows how to update the description to include the name of the newly created user.  Many thanks!

I am creating a project template. It will have 3 milestone and 1 task in each milestone. I want to add resources to the task automatically based on user groups created region wise.if region is UK then resource should be user group from UK region. If region is APAC then the resource should automatically pick the user group from APAC region. How to save it in Project template and milestone template.

Hello, I would like to bulk upload expenses within referenced expense sheets/containers. In my spreadsheet I’ve referenced the related expense sheet/container to house the expenses (2024 Expenses for Kayla) but when I upload them, it ends up creating new individual expense sheets rather than within the referenced expense sheet. For example, below I’ve used the external ID of “2024 Expenses for Kayla”  But when I upload, it creates the expense as an expense sheet/container instead: Does anyone have experience with this or what I may by missing? Thank you!

We have a department-wide project with multiple resources each assigned their own task under 1 milestone. The project spans several months. Each resource records their time on their timesheet whenever they work on the task. At this stage, a lot of the work is filler work. Staff works on this project whenever time allows. I’ve been asked to create a monthly report to see each resources’ weekly timesheet activity. Example:JuneResource 1 (1.75 Hrs)6/04: .25 hrs 6/05: .5 hrs 6/18: 1 hr Resource 2 (9 hrs)6/11: 3 hrs 6/21: 5 hrs 6/25: 1 hr I cannot edit any out of the box Time Tracking reports, and I’m struggling to create it myself. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you,Cory

Hello community,I would like to know if you are aware of any alternatives for creating copies of projects in Adaptive Work. Here are the challenges we’ve encountered with the existing methods: Copying and Pasting Schedules: When we copy and paste the schedule from the original project to another project, dependencies are created between the activities of both projects, even altering the original schedule. Excel Import/Export Functionality: While using the import/export functionality in Excel, the activity IDs remain linked between both projects. If we remove the IDs, it affects the hierarchy of activities and subordinates. MS Project Import/Export: When importing MS Project files into Adaptive Work, the dates are restricted as “user-defined,” preventing automatic planning calculations (such as dates and durations). When attempting to make copies of projects with a large number of activities using any of the three alternatives mentioned above, it requires a very tedious and complica

I have created a custom object and link is created at project level and task level. In my project the PM should enter the rows at project level. And team members should update different columns for same rows. But same rows are not reflecting under milestone tasks. The custom object at task level is showing blank even though the rows are added at project level.Is there a way to sync the data?let me know in case i need to share the custom object sample here for better understanding.

Hello,I would like to configure the Calendar view shown in this link:  Calendar View - Planview Customer Success CenterBut it is not clear what the step by step I need to do to enable it in Adaptive Work 

Can I assign and delete tasks at the user level? Use Case: We have hundreds of projects and if someone new joins, or terminates, I have to manually go into each project and add or remove them. There has to be something I am missing that I can simply add bulk projects to one project and not have to go in to each one.

Hello! My team has been playing around with capacity planner lately and found that as a resourcing manager, you’re able to make changes to a resource's demand manually in the planner and then submit. This seems to update the capacity planner without making changes to the project, which is good since able to be we want to forecast what is the real projected demand per resources which might not be reflected in the project plan. The problem is that it seems that once you submit, these hours seem to disappear from the capacity planner by the next day. Is this a normal behavior from the planner? 

Hi Team,I need to know if there is a possibility to create read only account within Adaptive work. Ask here is to map permission to use this account for  where account should only be able to read all the data from system without capability to update anything. This account will be used as Integration user. I tried giving super user rights to the user however giving super user rights gives the ability to update projects of other user also. We are using Basic authentication. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has experienced issues when using multi currencies for projects. We have our organization’s currency set up for EUR, but have projects in different currencies. We have noticed that when Non Labor costs are entered into the financial planning non summary view, the aggregated value is incorrect. However, the summary view, shows the correct aggregated value. This is a very annoying issue, since the value rolled into the work item’s fields (the ones showing in the property card) is the non summary view. Has anyone else experienced such an issue? Thanks!

Good afternoon everyone:This requirement is to know the population process for multiple selection lists, using the dataloader or mass loading in Adaptive Work.Thank you for your time.
