Projects have a status indicated by the colored dot next to the project name on the Projects page. A project’s status can be:
-
Green indicates an active and progressing project. By default, new projects are set to green. You can unblock a project or reopen a completed project to make it active again.
-
Red indicates an active project that is blocked.
-
Grey indicates a completed project.
Use the Projects Portfolio to track the status of projects to which you have access, including:
-
Projects you own.
-
Projects you have been added to as a collaborator.
-
All projects across Domino (if you are a system administrator).
Open the Projects Portfolio
-
In the top navigation pane, click Govern > Projects Portfolio
The buttons can be used to filter projects by stage or blocked status. The tabs filter by active or complete status.
Use this page to quickly understand the state of work in your projects. To maximize the usefulness of this tool, understand how administrators can configure project stages for their teams, and how to set project stages, raise and resolve blockers, and change project status.
If you are a project owner or contributor, you can mark a project as blocked when you need assistance from colleagues or administrators to make progress. Domino administrators and project collaborators receive an email notification when you mark a project as blocked.
Set a project as blocked when:
-
You need assistance setting up additional tools in a Domino environment.
-
You need access to new data sources.
-
You need hardware capabilities not covered by your current hardware tier.
The same menu used to mark a project as blocked can be used to unblock the project, which returns it to a green, active status.
-
Click the current stage box below the project name at the top of the project menu.
-
Click I’m Blocked or Unblocked and enter a message to describe the blocker.
-
Click Raise a Blocker.
When you change the status of a project, this event is listed on the project’s Activity page with the comment so project collaborators can discuss blockers. A blocked Project will show a red circle.
If you are a project owner or contributor, you can mark a project as complete.
-
Click the current stage box below the project name at the top of the project menu.
-
Click Complete and enter a message to describe the conclusion.
Domino filters out complete projects from the active project views. However, a completed project is still a functioning project. You can modify its files and start runs, but before doing so you might want to reopen the project to indicate that work is continuing.
If you want to see your completed projects, on the Projects page, select the Show completed projects check box. The indicator adjacent to the project is gray.
If you want to reopen the project, click the project name and click Reopen Project. The project returns to a green, active status.
