All that time moving between your projects and reports really adds up! So you might be delighted to know you can create status reports form within your Clarity PPM (CA PPM) Project.
This technique, one of the many quick-wins featured at regoUniversity, is easy to do. Just add status report functionality to one of your Project tabs in Clarity PPM.
Create Status Reports from a Project Tab | Clarity PPM
Would you like to create status reports right from a tab on your Project? Whether you're a functional person or HTML master, we can help you make it happen.
Here's how it looks.
1. Create a HTML portlet on a project tab with a button.
2. Click on the button, and it pulls up the status report screen. (This is a new status report for this project, in a new window.)
3. Submit and see the new record in the status list view.
Other Applications
You can do this for any custom project sub-object. Think how great it would be to have a button to add every "Lesson Learned" in a list view portlet on your Lessons Learned tab.
Here's the code to make it happen.
