Dependencies Status
This section is where the user can add and manage their dependencies.
By using a lookup field, the user can select the most appropriate overall status for the dependencies and provide any associated commentary. This information can be updated in real-time.
Adding Dependencies
Dependencies can be added to the project table via Add.
Dependency information can be entered using the simple form containing lookups, text, date and user picker fields.
Anyone added as an Owner will receive a Verto notification and can set-up their own reminders for completion. They will also see these records in their personal Feed.
VertoSense
Users can create dependency links within and across their projects using the VertoSense ‘#’ function. This function is available in all free text fields. Once added, these links can be viewed via the Network Map option under the project ‘Actions’ Menu. There is also a dashboard widget available too. Click here for further details on VertoSense and the Network Map.
Updating Dependencies
Click on Edit against the individual dependency to amend the information in the form.
The Updates area at the bottom of the form can also be used to record regular progress updates. Click Add to record a new update.
Advice
- The owner of a dependency will have access to the item via their Feed view.
- The project table layout can be changed from ‘Summary’ to ‘Edit All’ view by clicking on the downward arrow next to ‘Add’ and selecting ‘Layout’. Click here for more information on how users can sort, filter or group their data in the project tables.
