Navigate to the "Status Reports" tab and select "Create New Report" from
the right-hand side Actions box. You will be prompted to specify a
date the report is due, as well as whether to create the report for you
and your group, you only, or just your direct reports. Simple
Status will automatically copy existing status report items (that have
not been removed) into the new reports, unless you check the "Create
Empty Reports" box.
In many cases you may wish to include your direct reports' status items
in your own report to your manager. You can easily promote an item
from your direct's status report to your own. It will become a
part of your report that you can change and edit without affecting the
corresponding item in your direct's report. For example, you may
decide to edit out unnecessary detail. A small indicator will show
on your report that the item was promoted, and from whom.
Simple Status can help you monitor status report items from start to finish. Instead of simply having some status items "disappear" from one week to the next, you will see all the status items your direct deleted at the very bottom of the status report review screen, which allows you to see what items will no longer be tracked in the weeks to come.
Not presently. Future updates are expected to include new enhancements like this.
Only your manager. The security is set up so that the only other person that can see your status report is your manager. Even users assigned the role "
Super User" are not able to see your status reports unless they are also your manager.
