Hybrid Work Management |
Custom Panels We are excited to announce that Hybrid view of Projects now supports the view of Custom Panels.

Group Job Title Administration |
Creation of JTIGs The creation of Group Job title is ONLY available from the Job Title and Group modules. It means that you are no longer managing Group Job title from the "Add Group Member" popup from the Project Work Plan or Resource load/planning views. |
Dataloader |
Use JTIGs as Resources in Work Plan Dataloader allows to upload an entire work plan with user resources. This new capability will allow to include JTIG type of resources in the upload of a work plan via dataloader.

Data Science [New] |
Sentiment Analysis (to be enabled upon request & registration to Inner Circle) We are excited to bring to you Sentiment Analysis to help you • quantify previously unclassifiable unstructured textual data • provide actionable insights and early indicators of risk on project delivery • assess text inputs in seconds to gain the ‘opinion’ or ‘view’ of the work being carried out • use natural language processing, text analysis, computational linguistics, and biometrics to identify, extract and quantify previously subjective information

Resource Planning |
Idle Time in Assignment Edits (to be enabled upon request) The idle time for updates in Resource Planning can now be adjusted, allowing more time for selecting and manually updating staffing requests and/or project/task assignments per resource per time phases before data is sent to the database and thus providing an enhanced user experience. |
Resource Management |
Retain Resource Capacity when Filtering Reports (to be enabled upon request) We are enhancing the treatment of Resources when Capacity Time Phased Data is included in a report and related to Labor or Staff Time Phased Data. There are three main changes:
The new functionality will apply only after a report is created or edited. Existing reports will behave as before until edited. |
Resource Management |
Capacity Records (enabled in all Sandboxes) Capacity calculation are critical to understand the assignment of work for Resource Managers. When Capacity calculation is not accurate based on the User’s availability, decisions on resource assignment may be affected. AdaptiveWork now supports out of the box scenarios. Learn more about Capacity Records When the User is temporarily suspended, deleted and subsequently active, Calendar Exceptions can be added to AdaptiveWork. However, it is a manual intervention that can become quite complex if trying to automate through configuration. The Calendar exceptions functionality doesn’t allow Users to setup all scenarios. AdaptiveWork now supports out of the box Capacity change management across all the User lifeclycle scenarios:

Important Announcements
Removal of Resource Load |
