[Video] Turning Texts into Trends: Sentiment Analysis for Smarter Project ManagementProduct Release

In AdaptiveWork, projects often include text fields, such as comment boxes, where users can share their thoughts or observations.While this provides valuable insights, manually reviewing and evaluating these unstructured texts can be time-consuming. Sentiment analysis uses natural language processing (NLP) powered by a large language model to automatically assess the tone of these entries—categorizing them as positive, neutral, or negative.This automated analysis helps you quickly gauge the overall sentiment, serving as an early risk indicator. Negative sentiments can highlight potential bottlenecks, while positive feedback can confirm project health and progress.  For more details on the basics, setup, and current limitations of Sentiment Analysis, check out the Sentiment Analysis Release Notes

Document Publisher Template formatting for URL Links

Hello AW community, Another Document Publisher question to find the right way for this advanced configuration…Use Case:I have a DocPublisher template that requires links back to Project in four ways…Project Link - Link in Word docx that will allow the reader to link back to the Project details page. Roadmap Link - typically DocPub uses a format thumbnail that shows the roadmap within the word docx. However, I am looking for a basic URL link back to AdaptiveWork that will bring up the Roadmap view only Gantt Link - Same as Roadmap Link above.  Tasks Link - This is at the task table level that runs through and lists all tasks that meet the criteria for the current/next period, etc. Looking to set the Task name column as a url link back to the task in AdaptiveWork.  A possible secondary solution could be to have a static custom field that shows the task URL and pull that into a separate column with the caption “Task Link” or similar. However, I would likely run into the same issues as abo

Capacity Confusion for Part-Time Staff

Hello,We have many employees who are part-time and we have adjusted their work schedules in the individual calendar so that their capacity is less than 100%. For example, a resource that works 30 hours per week (out of 40 hours total) will have a capacity of 75%.Our users get very confused when reviewing the Resource Planning module/view and compare capacity and assignment when Units is selected. The capacity of the resource might be 75%, so our users think that all of the assignments should only total to 75% or less. Actually, the assignments should total to 100% or whatever the target utilization is for the resource. Unfortunately, our users consistently fail to remember this and we have to retrain them continuously.Does anyone have any suggestions for how to help users remain that assignments, when viewed in Units, can be more than the capacity of the resource if the resource is part-time?Thank you,Carey

What to do when you aren't able to create a multi-select reference to object (Resource) field?

I am trying to create a field that can be manually updated within a task with users, in the same way that ‘Resources’ can have users added. I am able to create a new field as ‘reference to object, user’ and this allows people to populate the field with a user name however it only allows a single user name. Is there a way to create a duplicate of the Resource field?I am not able to view the Resource field in configuration and have been advised this is intentional because of its field type.

Multiple Calculated Fields for Highlights

Hello community, I’ve created a report with several calculated columns across multiple tabs for various capacity and billability metrics (i.e. 50% capacity calculation, 80% capacity calculation, screenshot below). Some of our resources have different billability targets hence “Billability from 100% capacity vs. Billability from 50% capacity” metrics.  I’d like to have an overall summary tab with a Highlight showing all the totaled capacity and billability. So a highlight totaling all the Green highlighted below fields and Yellow highlighted below fields. Is there a way to do this so the highlight pulls all the capacity fields from each tab and totals?  Tabs:

Enhance Project Efficiency: Utilizing Placeholder Resources in PlanningNews

As a project manager, you use placeholder resources during initial project planning. This means you can assign tasks to roles (like developers) instead of specific people. This is helpful because you might not know exactly who will be working on the project yet.Here are the benefits of using placeholder resources:See how much work is planned for each role on the project. Get a better estimate of the project costs. Easier to assign tasks to specific people once you know who will be working on the project.Activating Resource PlaceholdersBefore you begin, enable Placeholder Resources in System Settings under Resource Management.Note: After enabling this setting, you will not be able to disable it.On activating Placeholder Resources, you will be presented with instructions to update installed apps and review existing Configurations that may require modifications.

Capacity Planning | Staffing request automation

Hello everyone,I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to our community to gather insights and advice on automating staffing requests within our system. Specifically, I'm exploring ways to streamline the process of filling staffing requests automatically, and I'd greatly appreciate your input and expertise on this matter.Here are some approaches I've tried so far: Custom Action: I attempted to create a custom action for staffing requests, but encountered difficulties when trying to link to time-phased data due to the presence of nested fields. Project Template: Another approach I explored was creating staffing requests from a project template. While this method successfully generated staffing requests, the values appeared incorrect or unusual. I'm eager to learn from your experiences and discover if there are alternative methods or best practices for achieving automated staffing request fulfillment. Have any of you successfully implemented automation in this area? If so, what
