If your project is appearing in the "Not Started" list in Upvise, it’s likely due to the project’s start date configuration. Here’s how this works:
How the Start Date is Set
When you set a project start date in Workbench, it is configured under the References and Dates section in Job Maintenance. This start date automatically syncs to Upvise and determines when the project becomes active.
Why Projects Appear in the "Not Started" List
Future Start Date:
If the start date is set for today or any future date, the project will be classified as "Not Started" in Upvise.
It will remain in the "Not Started" project list until the specified start date passes.
Transition to Active:
Once the start date has passed, the project will automatically move from the "Not Started" list to the live project list, where it will be accessible as an active project.
Example Scenario
For example, if you set the start date to 25 January 2026, the project will appear in the "Not Started" list until that date. On 26 January 2026, it will transition to the live project list.
My workbench job has no Start date
Jobs with no start date defined in workbench will sync to upvise as a project with the start date set to today. This will appear as "Not Started" until the date lapses.
How to Check or Adjust the Start Date?
If the Project has synced to Upvise, it is suggested that you edit the dates in workbench to resync and align them in Upvise. Follow the workbench instructions below:
- Go to Workbench Job Maintenance
- Click on "References and Dates" tab
- Edit the "Start Date" to be yesterday or a past date of your choice.
- click SAVE
- The project will move from "Not Started" and display in your project list in the next scheduled hourly sync.
