When you open and save projects, CA Clarity PPM Schedule Connect coordinates updates between CA Clarity PPM and the scheduler tools, even when changes occur concurrently.
To enable this coordination of data, Microsoft Project fields are mapped to CA Clarity PPM fields. You can do this using Studio.
Note: Contact your CA Clarity PPM administrator or see the Studio Developer's Guide for more information on how to use Studio.
Keep the following in mind when working in Studio:
Open Workbench is completely integrated with CA Clarity PPM. No field mapping is required.
Key information such as resources, calendars, and the costing rules is controlled in CA Clarity PPM. Any changes to global information from a scheduler tool cannot be saved back to CA Clarity PPM. You can only save changes to global information locally. For example, if you create a resource in the scheduler tool and then reference it in your project. you can only save the project back to CA Clarity PPM if you create the resource in CA Clarity PPM first.
Certain types of information are protected and cannot be updated or edited from either scheduler tool. For example, you can edit actuals when resources are configured to use CA Clarity PPM timesheets. When you submit actuals, the project plan is recalculated when the actuals are merged with the estimates.
