Managing Metric Trend Events for Projects

Trended metrics can be managed for projects including scheduling metric trend events, deleting metric trend events, and displaying available trend events in a table. Scheduling metric trend events allows you to schedule project trending without having to remember to run a trend to capture trended metrics. The Event Type filters the trended event list so you can quickly find events. Trended metric events can be deleted for projects which can be helpful to avoid cluttering the view and database.

Process Managers with Manage Process rights, Project Managers and Idea Managers who own the project, and Team Members with extended project edit rights, can manage trend events for projects. Only Project Managers can set a schedule for trended metrics.

The table displays:

• Date – Date of the trended event.

• Event – Type of metric trend event. Custom trend events will display.

• Project – Project name for the entry in the event table. Displays only projects with user rights.

• Description

  • Migration – A project was migrated to a new process model.
