>>The Project DB now facilitates the production of the Quarterly Reports that
>>deal with project accomplishments and goals. Specifically:
>>
>>1. Two new fields were added to project information, namely, "current quarter
>> achievements" and "next quarter goal."
>>
>>2. These fields can be modified by authorized users, i.e., project
>>leaders and
>> process owners, by accessing the Modify This Project form.
>>
>>3. These fields' contents will now appear on any query that fetches the basic
>> project information, e.g.,
>>
>>https://arachne.mit.edu/pdb/db.cgi/pdb.pdb_user.show_project_by_id?projid=25 4
>>. These two database fields have been initialized with the value NONE.
>>
>>5. This is a stopgap modification to the Vers. 1 data schema/UE, and
>> there is no compilation or history of quarterly accomplishments/goals
>> maintained. These two fields contain a snapshot of the "last three
>>months"
>> and the "next three months."
>>
>>6. The main page
>>https://arachne.mit.edu/pdb/db.cgi/pdb.pdb_user.frontpage now
>> has a new button: QReport. Accessing the QReport button will produce a
>> display report of all projects with their Current Quarterly Achievements
>> followed by all projects and their Next Quarterly Goals.
>>
>>7. To get a Quarterly Report for only those projects in a given process,
>> use a URL like:
>>
>>https://arachne.mit.edu/pdb/db.cgi/pdb.pdb_user.show_quarterly_process?proc
>>ess=d
>>elivery (or integration...service.. support...discovery).
>>
>> We are working with the maintainers of process Web sites to have such
>> queries added to their pages.
>>
>>Please send bugs, questions, impressions, and comments to
