Save-Request Effort
This Document can be found in the following categories:
Save New Effort Forecasts
A project manager (WBS user) who has checked out resources (i.e.
who has resource edit rights to the current resource nodes) can
simply select the PDWare Portfolio Database-Save Data
command.
The assignments and changes to Effort Forecasts created by the Convert
ETC to forecast command are saved directly to the database. The next
time the user opens the project WBS, resource availability will be
the same as the current Team sheet.
Request Assignments
A project manager (WBS user) who does not have rights to check
out resources in PDWare Portfolio must submit requests for resource
availability not previously created by resource managers on the Effort
Forecasts sheet.
Changes to level of effort values provided by the resource
manager and new team members added by the project manager are
captured as resource requests for assignments to the project. When
the resource
manager accepts the requests in PDWare Portfolio, the
assignments with the new values will be on the Effort
Forecasts sheet.
When the project manager opens the WBS module, the Team sheet
will show the requested availability (assuming that the resource
manager(s) accepted the requests as issued).
