Blueworks Export To Excel

There are two things.

  1. We're leveraging value add and cycle time to calculate efficiency savings in both time and cost but have to combine data from multiple tabs

  2. We'd like to be able to sort space exports by things like date edited but have to use complex text formulas to convert text to an actual date.

    We also have the same problem when analyze multi process in space

    Could you pls add unique ID at activity level in each "items" "Process items" "Stakeholders" "Systems" "Cycle Time" sheet or have combine sheet so we can analyze all in one sheet ?

    There is an external solution that might work for this. Please reach out to Brian Longstreet/US/IBM or John Larson/US/IBM on the Enhanced Project Launch team for more information.

    Thanks for your request!

    Please note that we recommend creating a separate Idea for each requirement. That simplifies management and communication, since each one would be assessed individually, each would likely have different priorities and delivery timelines. And you may even have different subscribers for each, or a different set of voters.

    For your first item, as I'm sure you can imagine, each client will have their own formulas and will have different sets of data that they use in their calculations. Longer-term we do have plans to allow clients to design and extract custom reports out of the product. We believe that is the right solution for what you've described here, but we don't have a timeline that we can communicate at this time.

    For your second item, we agree that it is an issue. We'll add an item to our product backlog to address.

    Thanks again!

    The Blueworks Live team
