- Queue Topic
- A routing rule inside a request queue that determines which custom form fields appear and to whom the request is assigned.
- Routing Rule
- A rule that automatically selects a queue topic and default assignee based on criteria such as custom form answers at submission.
- Convert Issue to Project

- Business Case
- Intake artifact holding cost, risk, ROI, and alignment data used by the Portfolio Optimizer to rank and score projects.
- Duration
- The number of working days between a task's planned start and planned completion, excluding weekends and schedule exceptions.
- Predecessor Types
- Finish-Start, Start-Start, Finish-Finish, and Start-Finish relationships that control how task dates depend on other tasks.
- Lag
- A delay added to a predecessor relationship in days; negative lag, or lead, allows the successor to overlap the predecessor.
- Milestone
- A task with zero duration and zero planned hours, used to mark a significant date such as an approval or deliverable.
- Critical Path
- The longest chain of dependent tasks with zero float; any delay on this path delays the project completion date.
- Constraint Type
- A scheduling setting such as Must Start On or Start No Earlier Than that overrides dependency-driven date calculation for a task.
- Duration Type
- A task setting controlling whether changes in work, assignments, or dates affect duration; options include Calculated Assignment and Fixed Dates.
- Commitment Date
- A user-entered promise date for task completion that can differ from the system-calculated planned completion date.
- Percent Complete Mode
- A project setting determining whether project progress is derived from duration, effort, or manual entry across child tasks.
- Updates Tab
- The collaboration area on an object holding comments, mentions, approvals, and system change records that are reportable.
- Bulk Task Edit
- Selecting multiple tasks in a list and changing fields at once; triggers schedule recalculation when automatic recalc is enabled.
- Resource Planner
- A tool comparing planned hours by job role against available capacity across a date range and portfolio filter.
- Workload Balancer
- A view showing assigned work per user with over-allocation highlighted, including an unassigned backlog section for reassignment.
- Available Hours
- A user's capacity computed from schedule working hours, reduced by FTE percentage, time off, and schedule exceptions.
- Scenario Planning
- Saving alternative planned-hour allocations per job role in the Resource Planner to compare options before committing to a plan.
- Over-allocation
- A condition where a user's assigned hours exceed their available hours for a period, typically shown in red.
- Text Mode Filter
- Report filter syntax using field, operator, and value rows; an OR:1 prefix changes the default AND between rows to OR.
- valueexpression
- A text mode attribute that builds a calculated column from other fields, often combined with aggregation settings.
- Prompt Filter
- A runtime filter presented to report viewers that can be configured once and shared across multiple reports on a dashboard.
- Dashboard Sections
- Layout containers on a dashboard that hold reports; a dashboard supports up to 25 sections arranged in columns and rows.
- Scheduled Delivery
- A recurring email delivery of a report that runs with current data and the report's saved filter settings at send time.
- Velocity
- The number of story points a team completes per iteration, averaged over prior iterations and used to forecast future capacity.
- Burndown Chart
- A chart plotting remaining story points or hours per day across an iteration against the ideal line, revealing scope changes.
- Iteration
- A time-boxed work period belonging to one Agile team; iterations for the same team cannot overlap in dates.
- Proof Automated Workflow
- A proof workflow with stages and deadlines where each stage advances when its configured minimum decision count is reached.
- Proof Decision Types
- The responses available to proof recipients: Approved, Approved with changes, Changes required, and Not relevant.
- Access Level
- A user's maximum permission tier, such as Planner or Worker; object sharing can only narrow it, never exceed it.
- Layout Template
- Configuration controlling visible tabs, sections, and fields, assignable to users, groups, job roles, or set as default.
