Usage notes:

  • If a step has a Slingshot cost center specified, it must have a value for Slingshot milestone status to report the status to Slingshot. When the step runs, if one of the two Slingshot properties has a value and the other does not does not, RICOH ProcessDirector writes a warning message to the job log.

  • If you set this property to In progress for one cost center, you must set this property to Complete in a subsequent step for the same cost center. RICOH ProcessDirector reports the time spent in both steps and all the steps between them to Slingshot. Using this information, Slingshot calculates the time spent in activities associated with the cost center.

  • If you set this property to Complete for a cost center, but you do not set this property to In progress in a prior step for the same cost center, RICOH ProcessDirector reports only the time spent in that step to Slingshot for the cost center.
