Submitting Status from Project Data

This Document can be found in the following categories:

The project manager can make changes on the Project Data sheet to fields in one or more projects, set the As Of date, select cells in those rows, and use DATABASE>SUBMIT STATUS to report status.

Since milestones are not present on Project Data, this method should be used only if milestones are NOT being tracked or there has been no change to milestone dates since the last report,

Projects do NOT have to be checked out. A user can submit status for a project if:

  • The user has Project Manager rights to the project, or Project Edit or higher rights to the node of the selected project, and the selected node is not checked out by someone else, or
  • The project node is checked out by the current user.

(Although any field on the Project Data sheet can be changed by a project manager during a PDWare session, only the standard status fields and fields defined as editable by an administrator in the Status Optional Fields list will be saved to the database when status is submitted.)

POS (Project Objective Statement) and Status Notes can be edited directly in the cell or by right click in a cell on the project row and selecting menu Show Status Comments to launch a dialog with both fields.

When all edits have been entered, select the projects (single or multiple row selection) and select the DATABASE>SUBMIT STATUS menu.
