4 Introduction The DreamTeam Suite is a powerful enterprise grade 100% web based project management solution that enables project teams to easily manage and collaborate on their projects, tasks in a user friendly interface. The DreamTeam Suite is native to multiple cloud platforms. The term native indicates that all data entered into the DreamTeam Suite is written and stored natively on each of the cloud platforms. Leveraging a single sign-on, DreamTeam Suite users can easily access their projects, resources, timesheets and documents anywhere. The DreamTeam Suite is currently supported on the Force.com, Windows Azure, Cisco Webex Connect, Intuit Workplace and Amazon Web Services cloud platforms. Each platform has its own Security Parameters. As a result of being a native application, DreamTeam inherits these security parameters. The DreamTeam Suite is extremely scalable to fit any organization. The DreamTeam Suite provides a number of features to assist users manage their projects. Some of these features include: Easily manage projects, schedule tasks, allocate resources, and track issues & risks directly on a Gantt Chart Enhanced reporting module including both Portfolio and Project reporting capability User friendly robust Time & Expense module Promotes project, document and report collaboration Robust document and folder management including: folder synchronization, easy upload and download, drag and drop, ability to launch applications in their native application, document versioning Page 4 of 194

5 The DreamTeam Suite encompasses five web-based applications that dramatically enhance workgroup productivity. All five applications are accessible through a single menu enabling easy navigation. The five applications include: Project Manager The Project Manager is where users create and manage their projects, tasks, resources pools and more. The project manager includes the ability to create read only project portals for users outside of your organization. Additional details are below. Project Calendar The Project Calendar provides a cockpit for project participants to manage their individual activity, including a calendar view of my project tasks, issues & risks, action items, and highlights. Users also log their time and expense from the Calendar application. Document Manager The Document Manager offers powerful document collaboration capabilities for project teams. Its desktop look and feel enables drag and drop of virtual files/folders, double click launch of virtual files with their associated desktop application, document check-in/out, version control, search, and full desktop synchronization for offline use. Moreover, users can share files with anyone inside or outside of the workspace. Timesheet Editor The Timesheet Editor is a manager focused tool enabling Project Managers to easily manage all time and expense entries that are made into the Time & Expense module on the Calendar. In addition, Project Managers can generate timesheets for any resource. Project Reports Users can generate prebuilt and custom project reports with the Project Reporter. Prebuilt examples include: Portfolio Dashboards, Project Costs, Resource Availability, Resource Leveling, Time & Expense entries, Issues/Risks, Action Items and Highlights. All reports can be exported as a csv file, printed and shared with anyone. The focus of this document is to provide a series of best practices designed to improve the user experience of the DreamTeam Suite. Page 5 of 194

6 Project Manager The Project Manager is the hub of DreamTeam where users create and manage projects, tasks, resource pools and more. It is here that users can easily view the progression of the project as a whole in addition to the progression of individual tasks. At the top of the Project Manager are seven menus enabling easy navigation. These seven menus include: Full Screen Allows users to view the Calendar, Timesheet and Expense modules in a full screen view. More Apps The More Apps menu enables users to easily navigate between the five applications. Projects The Project menu is where users can create new projects, delete projects, duplicate projects, share projects, change ownership of projects, import and export project files via csv and Microsoft Project, Manage Archives, Establish Baselines and view the Project Properties. Page 6 of 194

7 Tasks The Task menu is where users can create new tasks, update multiple tasks, delete tasks, copy tasks, select columns, create issues/risks and action items and view task properties. Resources The Resource menu is where users can add new resources, delete resources, assign resources, replace resources and also view the resource properties. Page 7 of 194

8 View The View menu is where resources can change the view of the Gantt chart to be displayed in a Day, Week or Month view as well as select from one of four options to bring their project data out visually. Support The Support menu is where users can access the various support options including Live Chat, Call Support, Training Movie, Product Support, License Manager and the Suggestion Box. This section focuses on the steps necessary to get a project up and running from project creation to resource allocation. Page 8 of 194

9 Creating Projects Prior to beginning a project it is helpful to identify project attributes such as cost, resource allocation, and time frame. Once you have identified these properties, the final decision to make is how to create the project. All projects are stored within DreamTeam and are accessible from the Projects drop down menu located beneath the More Apps menu. You have the ability to manage their project view by using the Edit Project View command that exists within this drop down menu. This feature is described in detail later in this document. There are two ways to create a project in DreamTeam including: 1. Create a new project from scratch 2. Duplicate an existing project or template 1. Create a new project from scratch The first way to create a project is to create one from scratch. To create a project from scratch simply: A. Click on the Project menu and select New Project. Once selected, a three step New project wizard will appear. It is here that users can specify the details of the project. Page 9 of 194

10 B. The first step of the New Project wizard will appear. Here users can enter the following project properties criteria: Project Name Give the project a name. It is recommended that the name be related to the topic of the project. Setting the Project Start Date Next, you want to set the Start Date of the project. The default Start Date is the day you create the project. You can easily change the Start Date by clicking in the Start Date box and manually editing the Start Date, or by clicking on the calendar icon and selecting the desired date. Note: It is recommended to have all projects begin at 8:00 AM to avoid any time bleed over. Entering a Project Description You have the ability to add a project description if desired. This is an optional feature. To add a description, simply type the description directly into the provided box. Page 10 of 194

11 Setting Project Work Days Next you must identify the work days of the project. To set the work days, simply click on the calendar icon and select the default vacation days. The standard default vacation days are Saturday and Sunday. Once selected, these settings will apply to the project going forward. Setting Vacation Days After project work days have been set, you can set vacation days. Unlike Microsoft Project, DreamTeam sets vacation on the Project Level and not on the Resource Level. To set a vacation or holiday: 1. Click on the Edit button. The project calendar will appear. On the calendar, workdays are displayed in white, vacation days are displayed in pink and the project start date is displayed in blue. 2. To change a work day to a vacation day, simply click on the date and change the color from white to pink. 3. To change a vacation day to a work day click on the day and change the color from pink to white. Page 11 of 194

12 Select a Document Folder You have the ability to associate a project with a Document Folder that resides on the Document Manager. To associate a project with a Document Folder, click on the drop down menu and either create a new Folder or choose from an existing Document Folder. This is an optional feature. Select Account Link As a result of being a native application to each platform, DreamTeam allows you to link your project to any Account within your Org/Workspace. To link your project to an Account, simply click on the magnified glass and select the Account you want to link the project to. Then click the Select button. Select Opportunity Link - As a result of being a native application to each platform, DreamTeam allows you to link your project to any Opportunity within your Org/Workspace. To link your project to an Opportunity, simply click on the magnified glass and select the Opportunity you want to link the project to. Then click the Select button. Page 12 of 194

13 Select Project Type You have the ability to select a Project Type. A project type can be used to group or categorize projects. (Ex: Marketing Projects) The Project Type is a customizable picklist that can be edited. Please refer to the Support Wiki for documentation regarding customizing these picklists. Set Defaults You can also click on the Set Defaults button (located at the bottom of the dialog) to set defaults for future projects. By clicking this button, DreamTeam will remember the default settings and apply them to all new projects that are created. C. The second step of the New Project wizard is the Add Resources dialog. Here is where users assemble the resources they want to add to the project. Three resources types are support in DreamTeam including Users, Contacts and Capital Assets. Each one of these resource types are discussed in detail later in the document. Page 13 of 194

14 Search for Team Members You can search for Team Members that they would like to add as resources to the project. By clicking on the drop down list in the top left corner users can search by User Name, Contact Name, Project & Task and Resource Skill Type. Search for Team Members by Name You have the ability to search for individual or multiple resources by name. Simply select the appropriate resource type (User or Contact) and then type the name of the resource and click the search button. Users can type the word All to capture all of the Users and Contacts if desired. Add Capital Asset By clicking on the Add Capital Asset button, you can add a Non-Human resource that they would like to track the cost or utilization of during the course of the project. Skill Attributes - On the right hand side of the screen there are two picklists containing pre-populated Skill Types and Skill Levels. These picklists are completely customizable. Page 14 of 194

15 Cost Attributes To manage costs and revenues for the project, DreamTeam allows you to allocate cost rates and attributes to each resource. Cost rates and attributes are described in detail in a later section of this document. Description A small description text box is available for additional notes. Simply click in the box to enter a description. Set Defaults You can also click on the Set Defaults button to set defaults for future projects. By clicking on this button, DreamTeam will remember the default settings and apply them to all new projects that are created. D. The third and final step of the New Project wizard is the Notification dialog. Here you can notify all Selected Team Members that they have been added as a resource to the project. You can select from the following notification properties: Page 15 of 194

16 Send The first notification option allows you to notify all Selected Team Members by sending them an through the embedded Web Services option. Outlook The second notification option allows users to select the Outlook option. This will automatically launch a Microsoft Outlook template that can be customized. Create a To Do The last option is Create To Do. This enables you to create a non-project task. To Dos are tasks that are complimentary to the project that can be viewed on the Project Calendar. (Note: If you are using the Salesforce.com platform, a To Do is a Salesforce task.) 2. Duplicate an existing project or create a project template The second way to create a project is to duplicate an existing project or create a project template. If the sub tasks of your projects are similar for each project, you might want to consider creating a project template. A project template is a collection of default settings such as tasks and resources that are used on multiple projects. To create a project template, simply create a new project and add the appropriate tasks and resources. Once the template has been created, simply follow the instructions below to duplicate the project: 1. Select the project template from the Projects drop down menu. (Located just beneath the More Apps Menu) Page 16 of 194

17 2. Click on the Project Menu and select the Duplicate Project command 3. Once Duplicate Project is selected, the Duplicate Project dialog box will appear. Here users can select from one of the following three options to duplicate. The current project Another active (not archived) project An archived project 4. Once selected give the duplicated project a new name and then click the OK button. 5. Once the Ok button is clicked the project will be duplicated. Page 17 of 194

18 Project Import/Export DreamTeam provides users with the ability to easily import and export project files in one of two file formats. A. Import/Export CSV B. Import/Export Microsoft Project A. Import/Export projects via CSV file The first import/export option is in a CSV file format. Users have the ability to import and export project files in a CSV file format. Users have the ability to select their desired fields (both default and extra) as well as the ability to select either all tasks or a selected number of tasks from the project. Lastly, users can also select to export out tasks tied to a specific resource. To export a project out of DreamTeam in a CSV file format simply follow the steps below: 1. Click on the Project Menu and select Export CSV Data Page 18 of 194

19 2. Once selected, the Export CSV Data dialog box will appear. Here users can select the fields that they want to add from the Selected Fields box (which will initially display the default fields), or from the Available Fields. Note: Users can now merge data when importing CSV project files into DT. If the user wants to merge updates into the project then you must check the Mergeable Field Only box in the bottom left corner. Only the default fields can be merged. No custom fields can be merged. 3. Once the user has selected their desired fields, next the user can select either All or selected tasks from the Task to Export box on the right Page 19 of 194

20 Users can also select tasks that are tied to a specific resource or multiple resources by clicking on the user icon in the top right corner of the dialog box and then selecting the desireds resources from the Select Resources box. To import a profile file in a csv format: 1. Click on the Projects Menu and select the Import CSV Data command. Page 20 of 194

21 2. Once selected, the Open Text File dialog box will appear. Here the user can select the csv file they want to import. 3. Once the user selects the CSV file, the Import CSV Data dialog box will appear. Here the user can either create a new project or they can merge data by Task name. Note: All data can Note: Users can now merge data when importing CSV project files into DT. If the user wants to merge updates into the project then you must check the Mergeable Field Only box in the bottom left corner. Only the default fields can be merged. No custom fields can be merged. Page 21 of 194

22 B. Import from Microsoft Project DreamTeam also enables you to import project files from Microsoft Project. To import a Microsoft Project file into DreamTeam: 1. Simply export the file out of Microsoft Project as a XML file. 2. Next, select the Import Microsoft Project command from the Project Menu 3. Once selected, the Open Text File dialog box will appear. Here you can select the MS Project file they want to import. 4. Once you click the Open button the selected project file will upload seamlessly into DreamTeam. Note: All resources assigned to an imported project file are imported into DreamTeam as a Capital Asset, and must be adjusted to the appropriate resource type after being imported. Page 22 of 194

23 Managing Resources: Addition and Allocation Resources are generally defined as people, equipment and materials used that contribute to the completion of the tasks on a project. Identifying and allocating the proper resource is critical to achieve the goals of the project. DreamTeam enables Project Managers to easily manage their resources on both the project and task levels. DreamTeam currently, supports three different types of resources including: Users A User is a resource who belongs to the Company s Org or Workspace, which has the appropriate login credentials and license to access DreamTeam on that platform. Users have complete access to all five applications and can be shared across multiple projects. Contacts A Contact is a catch all for external resources. A contact can be a customer, partner, contractor, or anyone who does not have a DreamTeam license that you want to allocate to the project. Contacts are primarily used as place holders for external resources that are allocated to the project. Note: On Salesforce.com, the resource must first be added as Contact in the Salesforce Org. For all other platforms, resources must be added in the Database application that is accessible from the More Apps menu. Capital Assets A Capital Asset is usually a non-human resource that you want to track the cost or utilization of during the course of a project (e.g., a laptop). A Capital Asset can also be used to manage a team or a group of resources. Page 23 of 194

24 Adding Multiple Resources to Multiple Projects DreamTeam now allows Project Managers to easily manage their resources and assign them to multiple projects from one dialog box. The Manage Resource Pool command has been added to the Resource Menu. This feature allows you to easily select multiple resources (Users, Contacts and Capital Assets) and assign them to multiple projects at the same time. To use the Manage Resource Pool feature, simply follow the directions below: 1. Click on the Resource Menu and select the Manager Resource Pool command 2. Once selected, the Manage Resource Pool dialog box will appear. Here is where you can select the desired resource(s) that are assigned to the current project in the box on the left and then select the project(s) that you want to assign them to from the box on the right. Page 24 of 194

25 Projects that appear in the Other Projects box that are displayed in bold have a resource name that matched the selected resource. This means that this particular resource is already a resource on that project. Projects that appear in the Other Projects box that are displayed in gray have a resource that conflicts with one of the selected resources. This means that there already is a resource with that name but it could be a different resource type. 3. Once you have selected the projects you want to assign the selected resource(s) to, click the Assign button. Page 25 of 194

26 Adding Resources to a Project Upon creating, duplicating or importing a project into DreamTeam, you must first add the desired resources to the project. Adding a resource to project can be done at any time and is very easy to do. Allocating resources to a project can be accomplished in DreamTeam in the following ways: 1. Manually add a resource to a project 2. Add a resource to a project from a Resource Pool 1. Manually add resources to a project The first way to add a resource to a project is to manually search for and add each resource. The second step in creating a project is to add resources to the project. To manually add a resource to a project: 1. Select what type of resource you want to add (User or Contact) from the Search for Team Members drop down menu in the upper left corner of the dialog box. You can also add resources by Project and Task and by Resource Skill Type from this drop down menu as well. Page 26 of 194

27 2. Next, type the name of the desired resource in to the search box and click the search button. To obtain all of the Users or Contacts in your Org/Workspace simply type the word All in to the search box and click the search button. You can also use an * or? as additional search options. For Non Salesforce.com users, in order to add a contact to your project, you must first create the contacts in the Database application (instructions detailed in the Creating and adding Resources for Non Salesforce Users section) and then you can easily add them to your project. Note: To add a Capital Asset, simply click on the Add Capital Asset button on the bottom of the dialog box. This will return a list of all of the resources associated with the resource type selected. Once the resource names are populated, select the ones you want to add to the project from the Found Team Members box and then click the green arrow to move them to the Selected Team Members box. Page 27 of 194

28 3. Once you have added the resources to the Selected Team Members box, you can then assign both skill and cost attributes to each resource directly in the dialog box. Once you are finished click the Next button to proceed to the notification screen. 2. Add a resource to a project from a Resource Pool - The second way to add a resource to a project is to select them from a Resource Pool. In order to make this process as easy as possible, a recommended best practice is to create a project titled Resource Pool that contains all of the Resources with their skill and cost attributes prepopulated. To create a Resource Pool: 1. Create a new Project by selecting New Project from the Projects drop down menu Page 28 of 194

29 2. Once selected, the three step Project creation wizard will appear. Give the project the name a name with Resource Pool in the title. Click the Next button to proceed. 3. Next, click on the drop down menu in the upper left corner under Search for Team Members and select By User Name to add Users and By Contact Name to add Contacts. For Non Salesforce.com users, in order to add a contact to your project, you must first create the contacts in the Database application (instructions detailed below) and then you can easily add them to your project. Page 29 of 194

30 4. Once you have selected the resource type, type the name of the resource in the Search for box on the left and then click the Search button. To add all Users and Contacts, simply type the word All in the search box and click the search button. This will populate a list of all of the users and contacts in the Found Team Members box. Note: If you type the word All when adding Contacts, DreamTeam will populate a list of all of the Contacts in your Org/Workspace. It is recommended when adding Contacts to search for the resource individually. 5. Once you have added the resources to the Selected Team Members box, you can then assign both skill and cost attributes to each resource directly in the dialog box. Once you are finished click the Next button to proceed to the notification screen. Page 30 of 194

31 6. Once you have created your Resource Pool, to add multiple resources to a project simply click on the drop down menu under Search for Team Members in the upper left corner of the dialog and select By Project & Task. This will populate all of the resources from the Resource Pool with their skill and cost attributes already intact. Page 31 of 194

32 Creating and Adding Project Resources for Non Salesforce Users For users who are not using DreamTeam on the Salesforce.com platform, in order to add contacts as resources on your project, you must first create the contact in the Database (TableTop) application located in the More Apps menu. To create a Contact on the Windows Azure, Cisco Webex Connect, Intuit Workplace and Amazon Web Services cloud platforms, follow the steps below: 1. Click on the More Apps Menu and select the Database Application 2. Once the Database application loads, click on the first drop down menu directly beneath the More Apps Menu and select Add Record Page 32 of 194

33 3. Next, select Contact from the second drop down menu 4. Click the Add button Page 33 of 194

34 5. Once you click the Add button, the Add New Contact dialog box will appear. Here simply enter the Contacts First Name, Last Name and address and then either click the save button or click save and add another. 6. Once you have clicked the save button, click back on the More Apps Menu and go back to the Project Manager. 7. Once you are back on the Project Manager, select what type of resource you want to add (User or Contact) from the Search for Team Members drop down menu in the upper left corner of the dialog box. You can also add resources by Project and Task and by Resource Skill Type from this drop down menu as well. Page 34 of 194

35 8. Next, type the name of the desired resource in to the search box and click the search button. To obtain all of the Users or Contacts in your Org/Workspace simply type the word All in to the search box and click the search button. You can also use an * or? as additional search options. Note: To add a Capital Asset, simply click on the Add Capital Asset button on the bottom of the dialog box. This will return a list of all of the resources associated with the resource type selected. Once the resource names are populated, select the ones you want to add to the project from the Found Team Members box and then click the green arrow to move them to the Selected Team Members box. Page 35 of 194

36 9. Once you have added the resources to the Selected Team Members box, you can then assign both skill and cost attributes to each resource directly in the dialog box. Once you are finished click the Next button to proceed to the notification screen. Page 36 of 194

37 Deleting or Removing Resources from a Project As displayed above, DreamTeam allows users to easily add resources to a project; DreamTeam also makes it easy to remove resources from a project. To remove a resource from a project, simply follow the instructions below: 1. Click on the Resources Menu and select the Delete Resources command 2. Once selected, the Delete Resources dialog box will appear. Here users can easily remove resources from a project by selecting their name and clicking on the Delete button. The check box at the bottom will also delete task references to the resource. Note: Users can also select Unassigned resources and remove them from aproject from this dialog as well by simply clicking on the Select Unassigned button on to. Page 37 of 194

38 Creating and Scheduling Project Tasks At its core, a project is a set of tasks. Each task represents a piece of work that must be done to complete the project. Tasks can cover a wide range of durations and should be ordered in sequence to the steps necessary to complete the project. The structure of the task list will determine the depth of the project plan. It is here that the user determines the depth of the project plan. DreamTeam provides the ability to break projects into phases making it easier to track each piece individually. Each phase of the project should start with a Summary Task that enables the user to see the progress of that phase. In order to have all of the phase s rollup to a Master Level view, you must use the indent feature with each Summary Task. DreamTeam enables you to create three types of tasks. These tasks can be created in any order, it is recommended to start each project phase with a Summary Task. The three types of tasks supported include: 1. Summary Task A Summary Task is a parent task that inherits the characteristics of all of the subtasks that fall beneath it. The Summary Task summarizes the earliest start and the latest finish date of the subtasks it inherits. It also summarizes the completion percentage of these subtasks. 2. Subtask Subtasks are the working tasks that comprise a project. Each subtask has a start date, an end date and a duration which dictates the length of the task. Users can easily create dependencies by linking subtasks to other subtasks on the project. Linking of tasks is described in detail later in this document. 3. Milestone Milestones are subtasks that serve as a reference point that marks a major event during the course of the project and is used to monitor the progress of the project. Milestones have zero duration and can be created to represent an external task (i.e., a user can create a milestone to designate the completion of contract signage.) Milestones are displayed as diamonds on the Gantt chart. Creating and scheduling a project task is easy to do in DreamTeam. You can create and schedule tasks in a number of ways including: 1. Create and schedule a project task from the Task Properties 2. Create and schedule a project task on the Index 3. Create and schedule a project task on the Gantt chart Page 38 of 194

39 1. Create and schedule a project task from the Task Properties The first way to create and schedule projects tasks is through the Task Properties. The Task Properties enables you to easily create and schedule project tasks in the following two ways: A. Access the Task Properties by right clicking on the Index and selecting New Task from the menu The first way to create a task is to right click on the index and select the New Task command from the menu. Once selected, the Task Properties dialog will appear. Here the user can populate the following properties to create the task: Task Name Give the task a name. It is recommended that the name be related to the topic of the project. Page 39 of 194

40 Type Users can add a Priority Type by selecting the priority level from the drop down menu in the top left corner of the dialog box. Task Description Users can add a Task Description by simply clicking into the Task Description box and typing the description. This description is stored in the Task Properties. Resources Here is one of the places that a User can add a resource to the task. Simply, click on the plus button to add a resource, the pencil to edit a resource and the minus button to remove a resource. Links Here a user can easily link the task to another task by either clicking the drop down menu and selecting the desired task or simply typing the index number of the selected task in the Links box. Indent Here a user can add an indention to a task name. The indention dictates the spacing of the task name. Page 40 of 194

41 Subtask Here a user can indicate if the task is a Summary Task or a Subtask. By checking this box, this signifies that the task is either a subtask or a milestone. Un-checking the box will create a Summary Task. Billable Here a user can indicate if a task is billable or not. Note: If a task is marked as billable, a Revenue figure will be calculated and displayed in the Reports module. Constraint Here a user can add a constraint and Constraint Date to a task. Users can select from the following list of constraints: Completion Here a user can set the task completion by dragging the scroll bar across to the appropriate completion percentage. Task Approval Users can set the task approvals for the individual task by clicking on the clipboard icon. Task Approvals is described in detail later in this document. Page 41 of 194

42 Task Dependency Users can select from one of the following three task dependency options determining the scheduling of the task. 1. Work The most common way to schedule time is using the work dependency. Work is the default task dependency. Work is simply a number of hours, days or weeks that you are going to book the resource to complete the task. (Ex: A task that has duration of 3 days that will fully book the resource for 8 hours each day.) 2. Units Units is an amount of work spread out evenly over the duration of a task. (Ex: 8 hrs. of work with a duration of 2 days. 4 hrs. /day for 2 days) Using the Units task dependency will calculate a utilization percentage to each resource displayed in parentheses next to each resources name. 3. Duration Duration is an amount of work divided equally among the resources allocated to the task. Duration is calculated dynamically based on the resource availability. (Ex: Say three resources are allocated to a task. The first two resources can complete their portion of the work in the first 4 hours of the task. However, the third resource was not able to complete their portion for 2 days. As a result, the task would extend 2 days until the third resource can complete their portion of the task.) Page 42 of 194

43 Set Defaults Users can easily set the defaults for future tasks by clicking on the Set Defaults button. Once set, DreamTeam will apply the default to all new tasks that are created. B. Click on the Task Menu and select the New Task command - The second way to create a task is by clicking on the Task Menu and selecting New Task. Once selected, the Task Properties dialog will appear. Here the user can populate the same properties listed above. Page 43 of 194

44 Allocating Resources to a Project Task Once resources have allocated to the project, you can begin to assign these resources to specific tasks on the project. The goal is to assign the proper resource to the task. To help accomplish this goal, DreamTeam provides a number of resources aimed to make resource allocation easier. These options include: 1. Allocate a resource from the Task Properties 2. Use the Assign Resource feature 3. Use the Replace Resource feature 1. Allocate a resource from the Task Properties The first way to allocate a resource to a project task is from the Task Properties dialog. You can easily add resources to a task by clicking on the plus sign icon directly above the Resources box. Once selected, the Add Resources dialog appears with a list of the resources on the left and the Micro Level Resource Availability Calendar in the top right, and three drop down menus in the top left. Page 44 of 194

45 These three drop down menus, allow you to filter by Skill Type and Skill Level if desired, as well as the ability to select the contents displayed in the Micro Level Resource Availability Calendar on the right. The Micro Level Resource Availability calendar displays resource utilization through color coded boxes. Each box contains a list of project tasks and a list of events that you can see which displays the resources availability. In the top left, the third drop down menu allows you to decide whether to display project tasks only, events only or both. Note: The events discussed above can be viewed and created in the Project Calendar. If you are using the Salesforce platform, these events are Salesforce events. All project tasks are displayed in blue, while all events will be displayed in purple. Clicking on the blue box will display the project, task, hours and utilization percentage for each day. Page 45 of 194

49 Managing Projects Once a project has been created, the next step is to manage each aspect of the project. This section discusses features that assist you with managing the other aspects of the projects. Topics discussed include project ownership, project visibility, task management, sharing projects, printing options, issues & risks management, archiving projects and more. Changing Project Ownership The user that created the project is considered the Project Manager according to DreamTeam. Being the project owner allots certain capabilities to the Project Manager including: the ability to delete a project, delete a task and approve or reject time and expense entries. The current owner of the project is the only person able to change the ownership of a project. Once ownership of the project is changed, so does the ownership of all of the tasks on that project. Note: Any new tasks created after ownership is changed, is owned by the creator of the task. To change ownership of a project: 1. Select the desired project and then click on the Project Menu and select the Change Owner command 2. Once selected, the Change Owner dialog box will appear, displaying the project owner s name in the box on the right. Simply select the new owner and click change. Page 49 of 194

50 Managing Project Visibility Project Managers can dictate project visibility of the users that are assigned to the project. These settings apply to the Project Manager, Project Calendar, Project Reporter and Timesheet Editor Applications. The Project Manager is the only person who can set these visibility settings. To set Project Visibility settings: 1. Select the desired project 2. Click on the Projects Menu and select the Project Visibility command. 3. Once selected, the Project Visibility dialog box will appear for the selected project. Here the Project Manager can choose which users they want to provide read and or write access to the project. To remove project visibility, simply uncheck the box next to the users name. Once visibility is removed, the user will not be able to see that project and any tasks on that project. Page 50 of 194

81 Establishing Project Baselines Before the user starts tracking project tasks, they may want to establish a baseline to be able to compare any changes made to tasks during the course of the project. A baseline is a number of reference points (start date, end date) that can be set to record the original project schedule. As adjustments are made to the project, establishing a baseline will enable the user to measure these adjustments. In the case where a task finishes before the finish date, DreamTeam will manage changes in tasks and costs by establishing the baseline. Regarding managing timesheets to reflect when tasks are finished early, what the resource should do is first establish a baseline to track the changes made to tasks on a project. As far as tracking time for this scenario, it is recommended to check the Automatically Set Complete task approval check box on the Task Approvals box (the clipboard dialog box in Mass Update where you heck the box to require timesheets be generated). What this will do is once the user logs time, the task will automatically be updated as complete. For example, if the task has a 2 weeks duration starting on 4/1 and ending on 4/15 and the user completes their work on 4/10, once they save and submit their time, the Gantt chart will automatically be set to 100% complete if this Task Approval option is checked. Then, when you got the T&E Report, you will be able to see the date the person logged their time. To establish a baseline, simply select the desired project and then select the Establish baseline command from the Project Menu. Page 81 of 194

82 Once selected, the Establish baseline dialog box will appear confirming that the user wants to establish a baseline. To view the baseline and all changes made, simply check the box titled Show Baselines located next to the Projects drop down menu and a gray shadowed area will appear displaying any changes that were made to tasks during the course of the project. Page 82 of 194

83 Collapse and Un-Collapse Summary Tasks Similar to Microsoft Project, DreamTeam allows you to collapse and un-collapse Summary Tasks directly on the Gantt chart. Collapsing Summary Tasks allows you to display the Summary Task and not the sub tasks. To collapse or un-collapse a Summary Task, the user can either click on the minus sign on the Gantt Chart (see diagram below) Or if they wish, they can collapse all or expand all by selecting the appropriate option from the Task Menu. Page 83 of 194

84 Customizing a Project To assist you in tailoring the project display to meet your needs, DreamTeam allows you to customize certain aspects of the application. You can add custom fields to the DreamTeam Custom Objects, which can then be displayed on the Index. There are five picklists in DreamTeam that can be customized to meet the customer needs. These five picklists include: Project Type The Project Type allows you to group projects together for classification and reporting purposes. Project Type is selected on the Project Properties. Ex: You can group all Marketing related projects together and then report on them from the Project Reporting module. Skill Level A Skill Level can be assigned to each resource on a per project basis from the Resource Properties. Skill Type You can assign a specific Skill Type associating that resource for a specific job title. Task Type The Task Type is displayed on both the Time & Expense modules. You can select the task type when logging time or expenses on the Timesheet/Expense menus on the Calendar. You also have the ability to customize the columns on the Index. To customize the column display on the Index, simply right click on one of the Column titles and choose Select Columns from the popup menu. Page 84 of 194

85 Once selected, the Select Columns dialog box will appear. Here you can add, remove and reorder the columns displayed on the Index. In addition, any custom fields added to the DreamTeam Task custom object can be added as columns on the Index. All custom fields will appear in bold in the Select Columns dialog. Lastly, you can populate the default fields by clicking on the Default button if desired. Three fields have been added to allow you to display if a task has an Issues & Risk, Action Item or Threaded Discussion tied to it. By adding the Has Action Items, Has Issues/Risks and Has Discussions fields to the Selected Task Fields box that will add three columns to the index that will display these components in columns on the index. Page 85 of 194

86 Custom Resource Related Fields - Users can also add custom resource related fields within the Resource Properties sandbox.
