About P6 Team Member Status Updates

Project managers might need a way to view team member status updates before the updates are committed to the schedule. The team member status updates feature enables you to view, update, approve and reject activity progress captured by users of the P6 Team Member interfaces.

When setting up team member status reviews in Project Preferences, you enable reviews for the project, choose the required reviewers, choose the review type, and choose whether to require reviews for all activity updates in the project. Status updates can be turned on and off for individual activities on the Activities page. In addition to setting reviewers for all activities, you can set reviewers for all activities within a specific WBS on the Activities page.

Users assigned as a status reviewer for a WBS node can view, edit, approve, and reject the status updates for all activities in that WBS node only, but not any of its child, sibling, or parent WBS nodes.
Users assigned as a status reviewer for a project can, by default, view, edit, approve, and reject status updates for activities in the top level of the project and also for any activities in WBS nodes of the project that do not have status reviewers assigned.
Note: When you assign a status reviewer at project level, P6 prompts you to choose whether to assign that status reviewer to all WBS nodes in the project. If you choose No, the user cannot view, edit, approve or reject status updates for activities in WBS nodes to which they are not explicitly assigned as a status reviewer, unless there are no other status reviewers assigned to that WBS node.
Users assigned the Project Superuser project security profile against a project can view, edit, approve, and reject status updates for all activities in that project, regardless of whether they are explicitly assigned as a status reviewer to specific WBS nodes in the project.
Users assigned the Admin Superuser global security profile can view, edit, approve, and reject status updates for activities in any WBS node of any project.

If you do not assign any status reviewers for a project, only users assigned the Project Superuser project security profile against that project or users assigned the Admin Superuser global security profile can view, edit, approve, and reject the status updates for activities in that project.

When a team member assigns an activity or saves a change in a P6 Team Member interface, the change appears in the Status Updates page.

The history of all activity updates made in P6 Team Member interfaces is captured in the Update History detail window on the Activities page.
