Using MS Project Add-In

We have a few users testing importing projects from MS Project to Portfolios using the MS Project add-in.  When trying to upload a MS Project plan (.mpp) to Portfolios, users are experiencing an error that I’m not sure how to troubleshoot. “-General Failure: Unable to update projects with tasks:  Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection .Parameter name: index” Anyone have any tips on what could be causing this error?  Thank you,Sonia Varney

Baseline Time Phased Data

I have been trying to find a way to better present the ‘expected progress’ of a project. The default calculations are soley based on durations, however, most project efforts are not perfectly linear like that, but rather more of an ‘S-curve’. What would be great is if there was a way to save the Time Phased forecast data when a project is ‘Baselined’, so that I could create a custom expected progress field to measure against the ‘baseline forecast’. I have tried created a custom field to capture this via a worfklow, however, it does not seem these time phased fields can be updated via a workflow, or even manually. Am I doing something incorrect?I also realize there is a field called ‘Original’ that may have been intended to serve this purpose, but I am struggling to figure out how this field is calculated, and it appears it cannot be changed once its populated.Anyone have any ideas on how to create this custom functionality, or have some other solutions for the main goal here of produc

Permission settings for Templates

Hi, How / Where can I manage the permissions related to templates? I have one superuser who tried to update a template via the “Save as template” and override existing functionality, but she is stopped via a validation rule. I am unsure if this is a default validation rule activating based on her permissions or a custom one set up by the previous product owner. The validation rule seems to stop her from deleting the previously made Template.Does anyone know if the templates have a separate permission configuration and where I can find it or if I should keep looking for a custom validation rule? E.g. does she need to be set as owner on the project she is trying to save as a template?Kind regards, Mathias

Approval flow with discssion / comments

Hi, I am looking for any best practices or examples in creating an approval flow for decisions made at certain points of our projects. I know there is an approval flow using e.g. Ziflow but I don’t have access to this one, and is wondering if anyone has had any success with something else, perhaps more simplified?The process is roughly.[Capture project data] → [Add manual comments] → [Send for review] → [Review & Discuss] → [Approve/Decline] → [Lock & Archive]The outcome would be a locked object showing the frozen data, with comments and names of the approvers.I’ve tried using the Document publisher to create a pdf that could be attached to an internal request and perhaps a related “discussion object” but I don’t know if this is the best idea.Any ideas would be welcome. 🙂/Mathias

Resource Capacity Adjustments

Hello,Is there any way to update a users capacity (or create a new custom capacity) without having to update a users calendar? E.g. a resource has 80% capacity for Project work. Trying to reflect this in a users calendar is near on impossible due to the admin overhead month by month. Alternatively can anything like this be achieved via a custom method? e.g. not using calendars or the capacity module but being able to state a capacity e.g. 80% and then reference this in reports?Many Thanks,Sean

Utilization vs Cost

Is there a way to capture hours on a salary employee that is more than 40 but only capture cost for 40 in the financial plan. We want to understand the true hours people are working on projects, which can be more that 40 hours but we also need to have the financial plans recognize the true cost for salary employees (which will always be 40) This can not be a global setting because we have Salary, Fixed Fee and Time and Material employees.  Thank you

Changed Custom action form size

Today, the custom action form size on some of our custom actions changed? Wondering if anyone else has seen this change and if something was changed in the system to do this? Also, I can’t remember how we set the size of those forms. I think it was in global css but if someone has the solution, please can you let me know so I can change them back to what we had before. Thanks!

While managing change, how are you identifying your early adopters and change champions?

When there is something new introduced most people resist the change(fear of the unknown).Or want to wait and watch.And then, there are those curious few who want to try it out first - the early adopters! Once they try it, they share their excitement and can’t stop talking about it with others.The next few want to try it due to word-of mouth or the fear of missing out. Take for example, when there’s a brand new flavour in your coffee vending machine. Your co-worker Jill tries it and can’t stop raving about it. You want to try it too.  Then, you tell others, there’s a ripple effect, you get the drift….In my experience, identifying change champions - those early adopters/super users of your new tool/platform can go a long way. What’s been your experience?

Understanding Your Organizational Readiness & Defining Your Success Plan (with a Planview Expert By Your Side!)

Are you wondering if you have untapped the full potential of your Planview platform and are looking to understand how you can take your organization to the next level of maturity?

Controlling Adjustments to Already Submitted Time Sheets

We have a unique actual time billing process that requires us to pull actual time data from Planview Portfolios before the end of the month for some, but not all of our groups reporting time.  This is typically in the last week of the month.   We attempt to use the Cutoff Date to limit user’s ability to disapprove and edit timesheets that have already been billed.  Other groups however,  do not bill and would prefer to apply a different cutoff date,  typically further in the past.  We don’t see a way to adjust cutoff dates by Providing Org, Resource Node, or some other Resource Attribute.   Curious if anyone has a similar Use Case and/or ideas to solution this scenario.
