Troubleshoot projects and tasks not appearing in the Work Queue portlet
Follow these steps to troubleshoot if you have projects or tasks assigned to the work queue that aren't appearing in the Work Queue portlet on the Staff Dashboard for any staff members, or for some staff members and not others.
Check if the project or task meets all of the following criteria:
- It must be assigned to the work queue: Turn onWork queuein theAssignedsection of the project or task.
- IfReady Tasks onlyin the portlet option is marked, the task must be ready to be worked on. A task is ready to be worked on if:
- It has aTarget Start dateeither because theReceived datehas been entered on the project, or theTarget Start dateis based on months and days before due in the task template.
- It's either the 1st task in the project, or the previous task is complete (theTracking Descriptionwas changed toCompleted).
- The task is ready to be worked on ifYesdisplays in theReadyfield of the Manage Projects screen
- If aStaff qualifications filteris applied in theAssignedsection, the staff member's skill set must meet the filter requirements to display in the Work Queue portlet.
- The staff member must be available to do the work. The staff member's schedule includes all scheduled items, including assigned projects, tasks, and to do list items. For each of these items, Practice CS divides the number of planned or budgeted hours by the days between the target start and target complete dates, and distributes the time evenly across those days in the assigned staff member's schedule. Practice CS then determines if the planned or budgeted task hours would fit in the staff member's remaining time. If not, the item won't appear in that staff member's work queue. Hours for meetings and Checkpoint Edge classes assigned to the staff member are also included in their scheduled time, and could contribute to unavailability.
