Auto Health - Overview

 

The enterprise administrator can configure a workspace type with auto health rules. When there are Auto Health rules for a workspace type, any workspace of that type inherits those rules.

Auto Health rules define what conditions within a workspace are sufficient to automatically change the health of the workspace. For example, an administrator could define a rule that says the health of the workspace should be set to In Trouble if five or more tasks in the workspace are overdue.

If a workspace has Auto Health enabled (if a rule is defined for the workspace type), the project manager can still update the workspace Health manually but the way those updates are handled depends on the workspace's Auto Health settings. When an auto health rule is applied, only the projects in State "In progress" are modified. All others (Archived, Cancelled, completed, not started, on hold) are not modified.

Note: If a workspace is a parent, the Health option is unavailable. The Health of a parent workspace is always determined by the poorest health of its child workspaces.

For PPM installations hosted by Changepoint, Auto Health updates and Parent workspace health updates occur every two hours.
