Settings for Critical Path Management

The following sections describe administrative settings for the Critical Path Management tools available in Teamworks Process Portal.

Set up user access to Critical Path Management tools

The following entry in the [Lombardi_home]\[process-center|process-server]\config\system\99Local.xml configuration file defines the Lombardi user group that is allowed to access the Critical Path Management features in Lombardi Process Portal. By default, this group is tw_process_owners:

<action type="ACTION_CHANGE_CRITICAL_PATH">
<role>tw_process_owners</role>
</action>

The tw_process_owners group includes the tw_admin user by default.

To change the default group for Critical Path Management access, you should make the change in the [Lombardi_home]\[process-center|process-server]\config\100Custom.xml configuration file as follows (do not edit the 99Local.xml file):

1. Stop Lombardi Process Center Server or Process Server if already running.
2. Open the 100Custom.xml file in a text editor.
3. Copy and paste the example code inside the <properties> element, and then set the value of the <role> element to the appropriate group name. The final result should resemble the following example:

   <server>
      <portal>
         <default-action-policy>
            <action merge="mergeChildren" type="ACTION_CHANGE_CRITICAL_PATH">
               <role merge="replace">my_role_name</role>
            </action>
         </default-action-policy>
      </portal>
   </server>
   

4. Save your changes.
5. Start Process Center Server or Process Server.
6. Start Lombardi Process Admin Console in your Web browser and then log on.
7. Navigate to the Group Management page and add users to the group that you specified for Critical Path Management access.

Set the default duration for critical path analysis

The following code block in the [Lombardi_home]\[process-center|process-server]\config\system\99Local.xml configuration file defines the default duration for the critical path. By default, it is two days.

<critical-path>
   <default-duedate-increment-amount>2</default-duedate-increment-amount>
   <!-- Must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4 (1=Months, 2=Days, 3=Hours, 4=Minutes) -->
   <default-duedate-increment-type>2</default-duedate-increment-type>
</critical-path>

To change the default duration, you should make the change in the [Lombardi_home]\[process-center|process-server]\config\100Custom.xml configuration file as follows (do not edit the 99Local.xml file):

1. Stop Lombardi Process Center Server or Process Server if already running.
2. Open the 100Custom.xml file in a text editor.
3. Copy and paste the example code inside the <properties> element, and then change the value inside the <default-duedate-increment-amount> element to the appropriate number of months, days, hours, or minutes. Change the value inside the <default-duedate-increment-type> element to 1, 2, 3, or 4 for months, days, hours, or minutes, respectively.

   <common>
      <critical-path merge="mergeChildren">
         <default-duedate-increment-amount merge="replace">3</default-duedate-increment-amount>
         <!-- Must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4 (1=Months, 2=Days, 3=Hours, 4=Minutes) -->
         <default-duedate-increment-type merge="replace">1</default-duedate-increment-type>
      </critical-path>
   </common>
   

4. Save your changes.
5. Start Lombardi Process Center Server or Process Server.
