Release Notes - Sorted by Release Date

Release Date	Function Area	LeanKit card	Release Note Description
March 11	Financial Summary	1703828382	Fixed. When changing a date range to Monthly in the Financial Summary, the order of the columns would shift. Now, date range changes do not affect the ordering of the columns.
March 11	Financial Summary	1701435776	Fixed. The order of the columns in the Financial Summary settings did not match the ordering of the actual Financial Summary. Now, they do match.
February 25	Reports	1699660756	Fixed. Timesheet Entry field level filters were missing from Resource Time series reports. They now show correctly in report configuration and produce correct results in rendered output. Due to this issue, the fix for actual hours on time series reports not exporting correctly to Excel (card 1666185533 below) had to be reverted and will be addressed in a future release.
February 25	Reports	1657922503	Fixed. Users were unable to drilldown in Timesheet crosstab reports if the report had resource entities in the left axis. Drilldown functionality has been restored for these reports.
February 25	Reports	1686997345	New. Users can now configure background colors in a wider range of fields. Now, all numeric fields (both non-Time series and Time series fields) in List: Basic and List: Time Series support conditional background colors.
February 25	Financial Summary	1699464150	Fixed. Financial Summaries were displaying currency data using the Organization currency instead of the Project Currency. Now, Financial Summaries display data in the correct currency for each project.
February 25	Legacy Reports	1670261234	Fixed. When running a legacy report with the Target and audit start date filters, the report would return values that did not match the filters. This no longer occurs and the filters work correctly in legacy reports.
February 18 (production)	Requests	1648658017	Fixed. Editing request gates would reset the day counter for alerts that were set to trigger Daily every X days. This caused alerts to be sent within 24 hours of any edit to a request gate. This no longer happens and request gate edits do not affect the timing of alerts.
~~February 18 (production)~~	Reports	1666185533	~~Fixed.~~ Just kidding. We fixed an issue with time series reports which caused actual hours to be exported incorrectly to Excel. Now, when exporting to Excel, actual hours match the values shown the in the original time series report. Note: The fix for card 1699660756 above required that this change be reverted. It will be added back in a future release.
February 18 (production)	Alerts	1683217214	Fixed. There was a German translation error in Alerts. On this page, On has been retranslated to Activ.
February 18 (production)	Projects and Portfolios	1677262250	New. The following fields for financial summary totals have been added for projects and portfolios. Project fields: Total Budget (Financial Summary) Total Forecast (Financial Summary) Total Actuals (Financial Summary) Portfolio Fields: Total Project Budget (Financial Summary) Total Project Forecast (Financial Summary) Total Project Actuals (Financial Summary) Note: These fields are currently visible but will not be fully functional until the February 18 Release.
