- Planview sends out status emails in advance of planned and non-planned releases/updates/incidents. These alerts include the date and time window of the releases/updates/incident, as well as a link to the release notes that include a list of the issues addressed in the releases/updates/incident.

Release Notes - Sorted by Release Date
Release Date | Function Area | LeanKit card | Release Note Description |
---|---|---|---|
July 1 | Reports | 1757271797 | Fixed. Financial Summary filters, once created, were not available in reports. Now, Financial Summary filters can be found and selected for use in reports. |
July 1 | Tasks | 1758366477 | Fixed. Adjusting columns in the Task grid would cause subtasks to display 0.00 hours. Now, subtask hours continue to display correctly when task columns are adjusted. |
July 1 | Reports | 1753932936 | Fixed. The italic style setting for column headers in reports was not working. Italic text was appearing as bold instead. Column headers now correctly display italic styling. |
June 17 | Reports | 1742268715 | New. When importing an existing report schema, the modal gives you the option to upload an existing recipe from the Reports Cookbook. This gives you an easy way to quickly generate new, pre-made reports. |
June 17 | Admin | 1753644202 | Fixed. In instances that do not have Legacy Reports enabled, the Publishing section was missing from the Admin entity. This is no longer the case and all instances should have a visible Publishing section. |
June 17 | Tasks | 1687620488 | Fixed. We fixed an issue where attempting to copy a summary task and its children could result in a error. This no longer occurs and users can successfully copy and paste summary tasks into other projects. |
June 17 | Dashboards | 1657810505 | Fixed. Running a reports from a dashboard that contained only that report could be significantly slower when certain filter settings were applied. Now, reports from single-report dashboard run at the same speed as that report normally would from the Report grid. |
June 17 | Resource Workbench | 1757798753 | Fixed. When viewing the resource workbench in weekly mode, hovering over a cell displayed information from the wrong week. This no longer happens and hovering over over a cell displays the correct data for that week. |
June 17 | Resource Workbench | 1752010706 | New. We increased the number of visible weeks when viewing the resource workbench in weekly mode. You can now see 13 weeks instead of 8. |
June 17 | Financial Summary | 1732068379 | Fixed. To reduce confusion, adjusted the label for one the financial summary filters. The new label is Financial Summary: Title string. It filters for string fields. Another label, Financial Summary: Title, filters for multi-select pick lists. |
June 17 | Organization | 1748243895 | Fixed. We updated a label in the Organization tab.The label Add other currencies that projects, requests, and resource and role rates may use instead of the Organization currency... now reads: Add other currencies that projects, resource and role rates may use instead of the Organization currency... |
June 10 (sandbox) June 17 (production) |
Reports | 1731626585 | Fixed. In Gantt reports, child tasks were misaligned. This has been fixed. |
June 10 (sandbox) June 17 (production) |
Projects | 1728651749 | Fixed. User-defined project fields that were set to display as URL links were instead displayed as drop-down fields. This no longer occurs and URL fields are displayed correctly. |
