Nonscheduled team members are people who have a role on a project team but whose time is not specifically tracked. For example, you may have extended team members that support the administrative aspects of the project and who perform tasks such as reviewing candidates and providing backup support. You can also have client contacts as nonscheduled members.
Note: Team members are also referred to as key members.
You can use nonscheduled team members and their associated roles when you set up project-based security in Oracle Projects. For more information on project-based security, see Security in Oracle Projects.
You can designate nonscheduled team members at the project level only. Subject to the functions that are associated with their login responsibility, a nonscheduled team member can view and update all project information except labor cost details. To permit viewing of labor cost details, team members must have function security that expressly allows query of labor cost details.
Note: A user with cross-project update access does not need to be defined as a nonscheduled team member in order to view or update project information, or to view labor cost details. A user with cross-project view access does not need to be defined as a nonscheduled team member in order to view project-level information.
Effective Dates
Oracle Projects uses effective dates to control nonscheduled team member and nonscheduled team member role assignments. You can inactivate a nonscheduled team member’s role at any time by specifying an ending effective date. You can reactivate the nonscheduled team member or redefine the nonscheduled team member with a new role by reentering the nonscheduled team member with a beginning effective date that is after the previous ending effective date. You can also associate a nonscheduled team member with more than one role on a project. You do not need to define each person who is doing work on the project as a nonscheduled team member–only those who need to maintain project data and/or view project expenditures.
When you enter a nonscheduled team member, the system provides a default start date based on the following precedence order. At each precedence level, if there is no value for the date, the date at the next level is the default date:
- Project Actual Start Date
- Project Scheduled Start Date
- Project Target Start Date
- System date
Future-Dated Employees as Team Members
You can enter a future-dated employee as a nonscheduled team member. A future-dated employee is an employee who is starting employment on a future date. For more information, see Defining People, Oracle Projects Implementation Guide.
