After processing a change request, if the Total cost doesn't match the Requested cost, a message displays below the Cost group box on the form's General tab stating the difference and referring you to the Explanation field for more information.
To confirm that the message will display on the workflow form when needed, complete the following steps:
On the Navigation menu, click Administration » Workflow Type Configuration.
Select the workflow type for which you want to make a field visible.
Click Form Designer on the form toolbar.
In the Workflow Category Form Designer window, navigate to the General tab and select the Cost Difference label and field.
This field and label should remain not hidden (Properties Hidden = No). PM Compass will automatically hide the field by default and display it only if there is a cost difference.
Drag both the field and its label to the desired location on the form.
Select the Cost Difference field label.
In the Properties panel, replace the text in the Caption property field with the following label/message:
There
is a difference between the requested total and the total applied
– see Explanation. The difference is
This is the message that will display under the Cost group
box. The difference dollar amount will display directly after “The
difference is.”
Click OK.
