New features

Functional area	Feature
Resource & Financial Management	Delete/Activate Group Job Title Users can Delete/ Activate Group Job Titles: as a member of a User Group as a member of a Job Title directly from the Group Job Title as a administrator, via Workflow Rules, Custom Actions or API using the 'Delete Item' action
Resource Management	Changes to Resource Load/ Planning To optimize the load and reduce the amount of data calculated in real time on Resource Load and Planning interfaces, a new set of rules for Resource load and Resource Planning interfaces is being introduced. This change of behavior will lead to alignment of these functional areas with similar tools in the market and best practices for end User interactions. The product behavior will change as follows: Pagination will be implemented to show a limited number of Resources at any one time on Resource Load and Resource planning interfaces. The view period timeframe (Day, Week, Month) is currently set to a maximum limit of 52. The default behavior and maximum limit for each date filter will be adjusted to reduce real time data calculation and optimize page load. The “Save as default” setting will be turned ON by default. Each time the User changes date filters, the page size for pagination, or filters, these new default settings will be updated automatically and used the next time the same page is opened.
Administration	Apply on Member Administrators can apply User Group settings to Users through Configuration, Workflow, or the API by using the “Apply on Members” action.

Controlled Availability Features

The following features will be released soon. Customers with Sandbox environments who would like to enable these new features should contact their Customer Success Manager.

Functional area	Feature
Resource Management	Retain Resource Capacity when Filtering Reports 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:  It is possible to choose whether filters set on Labor or Staff Time Phased Data fields restrict the resources shown in a Report. If they do not, only filters defined using User/Capacity fields will determine the resources that are shown. Resource Capacity is now shown for time periods where resources are not assigned to work items. There are now two Advanced Logic filter sections split between Labor/Staff Time Phased Data fields and User/Capacity fields. Filters need to be contained in the correct section to pass the syntax check and cannot be mixed. This is so that customers can opt to restrict resources shown using User/Capacity fields only. The new functionality will apply only after a report is created or edited. Existing reports will behave as before until edited.
Reports & Dashboards	Licenses information in Reports Administrators can now query License information in Reports & Dashboards, allowing to analyze: license utilization % license distribution by type, by PO trial licenses License information cannot be queried by non Administrators.
	New Standard Folder, Reports and Dashboard With the exposure of license information in reports, we are adding a new standard folder License & User Adoption under Reports & Dashboards that will be accessible by Administrators only. This folder includes: Standard Reports: License Utilization Report User Adoption Report Late Adopter Report Standard Dashboard: License Utilization & User Adoption Dashboard License based reports and dashboards cannot be accessed by non Administrators.
