You can track and report the actual preparation status of the Deliverables and Work Documents at Implementation > Reporting > Deliverables.

Please note that in order to access a Deliverable and report specified status updates, you must be assigned to at least one status of the Deliverable as a responsible user (or be part of the responsible group). If not otherwise configured, by default EMDESK sets all users of the deliverable leader as the responsible group for all statuses. Users with Coordinator Rights can adjust this at Implementation > Controlling > Deliverables.

Report the Actual Preparation Status of a Deliverable or Work Document

To report the actual preparation status of a Deliverable, open the parent Work Package by clicking the  button. All sub-level Deliverables will appear.

The  icon at a Work Package indicates the user that is required to report an actual preparation status for at least one Deliverable soon, while the  icon indicates that the submission of at least one Deliverable is overdue.

The  icon at a Deliverables indicates the user that is required to report an actual preparation status for the Deliverable soon, while the  icon indicates that the submission of the Deliverable is overdue.

Open a Deliverable by clicking the  button and the preparation status reporter will appear.

To add a new status entry, click on the   button and select the date, set the status, estimated completion and a short description before clicking .

Note that the latest status for each deliverable will be exported to the report as part of the deliverable table. In the report only status entries with a date before the exported report’s due date are considered (e.g. Report M1-M12 with a due date in M13 considers all status updates till M13). Due dates can be defined by users with Coordinator Rights at Implementation > Controlling > Report / Review Schedule.

On the right hand side of the preparation status is the Deliverable Schedule provided by the Project Coordinator (defined at Implementation > Controlling > Deliverables) displayed for each plan as an overview for the Contractor owner of the Deliverable or Work Document in order to notify the deadline. Contractors can only view and add report statuses to Deliverables they were assigned.
