  • 1.  Hierarchy not in Audit

    Posted Sep 14, 2018 10:34 AM

    The child projects which are added in Hierarchy tab, doesn't seem to have Audit on it.

     

    Can we expect Audit on future ? or currently if any one using Process to track the updates made.

     

    Thanks,

    Santosh.

    Do you meant when the project was added under hierarchy you want to find out that? As audits are only at Object level and Hierarchy is not an object. Having said so we do have enhancement program feel free to raise a request https://communities.ca.com/community/ca-ppm/blog/2018/01/12/new-customer-innovation-process-for-ca-ppm

    The approach implemented for one PPM Client:

    Create an custom attribute Parent Project

    Have Auditing turned on the custom attribute Parent Project

    Have a custom Process that is regularly run that updates (when required) the custom attribute Parent Project.

     

    Though you won't have the full history of who removed the parent relationship from the Hierarchy, at least you will have the history of what it originally was.

     

    Also review if you need the 'Hierarchy Tab' enabled on your Project Layout.  If not, disable it, as this will be one less place the user can remove the Parent (though note, it can still be modified on Sub-Projects page).  For the above PPM client, we have a Project Admin Layout which has 'hierarchy' enabled, so that they quickly modify required project to enable the hierarchy tab, modify the hierarchy for that project, and then set it back to Project Default Layout where the 'Hierarchy Tab' is disabled.
