Note: You can schedule batch Project Actuals recalculations using the PSA Administration tab. We recommend that you run this job when both of these conditions are met:
  • Few users are logged in.
  • The Apex job ActualsCalculateDeltaBatch is not running at the same time.

If your organization uses Shield Platform Encryption, and has encrypted the Contact (Resource) field, your administrator must configure your list views to view the Project Actuals Recalc or Resource Actuals Recalc tabs without errors. An encrypted field added to the first column of the list view causes an error to display and the page to fail to load.

  1. Create a new list view:
    • On Project Actuals Recalc, create a new list view for Project.
    • On Resource Actuals Recalc, create a new list view for Contact.
  2. Name the view a value that will sort first in the picklist of views. We suggest a value such as "AAAAA" or "00000".
  3. Set the new list view to display a field other than a Resource field as the first column (for example, Account Name). Add other columns as needed. You can add columns with a Resource field in subsequent columns.
  4. Save your changes.
Note:

Any list views you retain with a Resource or Contact field in the first column will generate an error when selected.
