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.
Please see the Progress Report Template for Sellers for the narrative portion of the progress report. If your progress report narrative exceeds the character limit, you may upload a pdf of your Progress Report to the Progress Report page.
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 Name | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Start/End Dates | Input actual or expected dates. Start and End dates can be the same for discrete events. |
| Percentage Complete | Update the progress towards the milestone completion. |
| Status | Provide 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.
Locate and access the Project Record in Salesforce. If you are continuing the steps from the section above, you will already be on the Project Record.
At the top of the Project Record, above the Project Detail section, click the Project Progress Reports option. This will auto-scroll you down to the Project Progress Reports section.
From the Project Progress Reports section, click Edit for the latest progress report row. This opens the Progress Report edit page.
In the Progress Report edit page, update the following fields
| Field Name | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Completed Date | Input the date you completed the progress report. |
| Completed By | Input the individuals name who completed the progress report. |
| Status | Update the status to:
A status of Completed indicates to NYSERDA staff that the report is ready to be reviewed. |
