Control Center / Resource Management Integration - Start / End Dates Required But Dont Update

Zeb Loewenstein

Integrating Resource Management with Control Center requires the use of an Intake Sheet with populated Start / End Dates. These fields flow into the Project-level setting in Resource Management.

However, when the schedule template (e.g. project plan) is connected these overall dates do not get updated in Resource Management to reflect the actual start / end dates in that template. Instead, I have to create a net new project.

Is this expected behavior? If so, the Control Center automation doesn't make sense with RM integration turned on.

Hi @Zeb Loewenstein,

In doing some testing, I was able to reproduce what you explain and this seems to be the integration current default behavior. Intake initial Start and End dates will be used to create the project in Resource Management but after the project is created, only the updates that can be pushed through the Resource Management panel will update assignment information in your Projects. When you have a moment, please let our Product team know about your feedback by filling in this form, here.

I hope that this can be of help.

Cheers!

2 years later and it still functions this way…. So many things about RM make no sense, are cumbersome, clunky, and require too much manual work to update. Even the "Advanced Reporting" that just came out is absurdly limited. I don't even know why it's called "Advanced."
