Introduction 

All projects from contract execution through commercial operation must submit quarterly reports through the LSR portal.  Reports are due March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. The quarterly report consists of an updated project schedule and project narrative, plus attachments where applicable.

Updating the Project Schedule

Log into the Salesforce Portal and access the Projects Tab. Access the Project Record in Salesforce by clicking the link in the Project Name column.

From within the Project Record, click the Manage Milestones button above the Project Details section.

Review each numbered Milestone (1-41). You can filter the milestones using the Development Stage drop-down or view all milestones by leaving this drop-down on None.

While reviewing each of the 41 Milestones, double-click any cell to edit the cell's contents, or click the Pencil icon in the Edit Column to edit the entire milestone record.

Update the following fields for each milestone as needed:

Field NameRequirements
Start/End DatesInput actual or expected dates. Start and End dates can be the same for discrete events.
Percentage CompleteUpdate the progress towards the milestone completion.
StatusProvide a brief status description (1-3 sentences).

When all required changes have been made to all milestones, click the Save Milestone button to save your changes.

Once saved, click the Back to Project link to return to the Project Record.
