Items in the cats-worklist for responsible resources

[former_member184588]

Hello,

I try to implement cProjects with CATS. Everything is fine except one thing:

Every user has some tasks assigned. The employee is able to record his times to the tasks. This is correct.

But the responsible resource also has the tasks he is "responsible for" (defined in the task general tab) in this worklist. Is it possible to exclude this tasks?

How can I avoid the task's responsible employee to be able to record times to this task if he is not assigned to it directly via task->assign?

Thank you,

Vanessa

Hello Vanessa,

You can try using the user exit CATS0001 to filter out such records from the CATS worklist.

Hello Vivek,

thanks for your answer. Do you have an idea how to identify the records that I have to filter out? At least it would mean to search in the task for an assignement of the ressource or role. This is quite hard stuff, I think.

Is there another possibility to identify this records? Is there a possiblity to use the configuration for this?

Thx, Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

no, it is not possible.

The program explizitly exlcudes such resouce, though the data are stored in the same table as the resource assigned to task.

Kind regards,

Hello Zhenbo,

thank you for your answer. Somehow I don't get the point with "the program explizitly excludes such ressource". I think that it includes the ressources.

There is the boss that is responsible for the projects/phases/tasks. This boss sees all the task he is responsible for. But we would prefer that he only sees the tasks that are really assigned to him. How could this would if we don't want to use two users?

Hello Venessa,

In one of our scenario, we had built up our own worklist logic which discarded the role assignments of 'Responsible' resources.

You may check table DPR_ENTITY_LINK field RESPONSIBLE to filter out such assignments.

Hello Vivek,

thank you for your answer. Filtering with this table sounds good. How did you handle it if a project manager is responsible AND is assigned to the task? Because - IMHO - your suggestion would mean that this is not possible (if you are not checking the assignments of the task and resource).

Thanks a lot and have a good start of the week,

Vanessa

P.S. Is it so unusal that the task/phase/project resonsible person should not record times to the tasks? There would be so many worklist-items if we don't filter.

Hello Venessa,

 How did you handle it if a project manager is responsible AND is assigned to the task? 

In this case, there would be two line items in DPR_ENTITY_LINK. The one with DPR_ENTITY_LINK-RESPONSIBLE NE 'X' is the one which you'd prefer to have in your worklist.

Vivek
