Pending Estimates Portlet

Depending on whether less or more time is required for a task, a team member can increase or reduce the ETC on a task. They can do this using Timesheets. However, the project manager approves the modifications before the change is reflected in CA Clarity PPM. The Pending Estimates portlet lets you view all the variables associated with a task. Based on the variables, you can accept or deny any modified ETCs.
