The Project Manager Dashboard provides the project managers with quick reports of time card exceptions, and category wise time reported for their projects. The dashboard displays time card reports only for the projects managed by a project manager.

The dashboard can be activated using the Performance Analytics - Content Pack - Project Portfolio Suite Dashboards plugin (com.snc.pps_dashboards). You require Performance Analytics license to use this dashboard.

The reports in the dashboard are filtered based on Project, and Date selected.

The project manager dashboard consists of these components:

Project time card exceptions report

The Project time card exceptions report lists the users who did not submit their time cards, and the time cards which are not yet approved for the selected project and time range. The exception report is generated for the users who are assigned to a task in progress, or hard allocated to the project/task in that time range. The report displays the following data:
  • User: The time card user assigned to the selected project, or hard allocated to the resource plan associated with the project. If there are more than one time cards for a user in a given date range which are not submitted or require approval, then multiple entries are listed for the user.
  • Week starts on: Starting date of the time card week in the selected time range.
  • State: State of the time card. Time card entries with state as Not Submitted are also listed if a time card is not created for the week.

The report is generated from the project_timecard_exception table. It requires the schedule job Project Time Card Exceptions to be running to get the up-to-date information.
