Overview
The User Status Update page is where administrators review and approve the schedule status updates that CAMs submit from the Quick Status page. Submissions are held in a pending queue until an administrator approves or rejects them. Only approved updates flow into the project’s schedule data and affect earned value calculations.
Permissions
Administrator role required.
How the Workflow Works
- A CAM navigates to Quick Status and submits activity progress updates.
- The submission enters a pending state and appears on this page.
- An administrator reviews the submission and either approves it (which applies the updates to the schedule) or deletes it (which discards the submission and returns the CAM’s activities to their prior state).
What the Grid Shows
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Project | The project the submission belongs to |
| CAM / User | The user who submitted the update |
| Submitted | Date and time of the submission |
| Activities Updated | Number of activities included in the submission |
| Status | Pending |
Approving Submissions
Select one or more pending submissions and click Approve. Approved updates are applied to the schedule immediately. The CAM’s activities update to reflect the new dates and percent complete values, and the data becomes available for earned value calculations.
Bulk Approval
Use the Select All checkbox to select all pending submissions for a project, then click Approve to approve them all at once. This is the typical workflow at the end of a status period when all CAM submissions are ready for roll-up.
Deleting Submissions
Click Delete on a submission to discard it. The CAM’s activities are not updated — their data stays at the previous values. Use this when a submission contains errors and the CAM needs to resubmit with corrected data.
Deleting a submission cannot be undone. The CAM will need to re-enter and resubmit their status updates for that period.
