Release Notes
Function Area | ID | Release Note Descriptions |
---|---|---|
Calculated Fields | 1594834035 | Fixed. After creating a calculated field, an error is no longer thrown after opening the field for editing. The error, if necessary, will now be thrown upon saving the field. |
1595148271 | Fixed. Calculated fields can no longer be based on baselines or baseline entries. Previously baselines were mistakenly presented as an entity on which to base a calculated field. | |
Dashboard | 1595409482 | Fixed. Rapidly editing and saving dashboards works as expected. Previously, in certain situations after making repeated edits, a SQL error was thrown. |
1595403813 | Fixed. Date fields on dashboards now allow text entry in addition to the date picker widget. Previously only the data picker was available. | |
Filter | 1594720380 | Improved. When matching against typed letters, the ad hoc filter will display up to 100 filters. If more filters exist, click the "View All Filters" link at the bottom of the list of filters. |
Import | 1595324461 | Fixed. When updating via data import, lookup list field values that have a leading zero now update correctly. For example, if the existing value in the UI is 060 and the new value in the Excel spreadsheet is 080, after importing the Excel spreadsheet, the resulting value displayed in the Innotas UI will be 080. Previously, the import was successful only if the leading zero was removed. |
Issue,UI | 1594022905 | Fixed. After creating a new Issue/Risk, the new record is visible in the screen immediately after it is saved. |
My Arena (Home) | 1594760668 | Fixed. Duplicate records in Home/Projects/tickets no longer appear. This was happening when the current user was both owner of the project and a member of the project team. |
Permissions | 1595339173 | Fixed. When using profile-based project permissions, the Projects > View permission enables viewing of the project only. Previously the View permission was also activating the Edit > Details permission. |
Project | 1593697629 | Fixed. Expand/Collapse controls activated with single click in all project sections, including Comments and Notes. |
1593949826 | Fixed. When creating a project from a template, no checkboxes are selected by default. The user can choose to copy 0 or more checkboxes. | |
1594047060 | Fixed. The "overbooked" indicators now display when appropriate in the project Staffing screen of a project in Task planning mode. Previously these indicators only display for projects in Resource planning mode. | |
1595142892 | Improved. There is no performance slowdown when opening projects that are integrated with Projectplace. | |
1595202253 | Fixed. When using the compare baseline feature, any variance is displayed in red, regardless of current allocation unit (hours or headcount). | |
1595403889 | Fixed. The "slider" bar that divides the allocations from their contours in the project staffiing screen is now working correctly: it can be adjusted by sliding it right or left. | |
595847999 | Fixed. Staffing screen contours display correctly when setting the display to a low (1080 wide) resolution. | |
Reports | 1594995749 | New. A filter must now be selected when running time reports at the organization level. This will help avoid unintentionally running very large and expensive reports due to forgetting to select a filter before clicking "run". |
1595014894 | Fixed. After copying a column chart report that uses drilldowns, the copied report's drilldown reports render as expected. Previously, the copied report's drilldown links returned the message "No reports defined". | |
1595274815 | Fixed. When creating list reports that use grouping and fields with color names, the background color no longer displays in the grouping header. | |
1595289112 | Fixed. When running reports based on Timesheet report sources, the Final Submit Time field now returns the expected date/time, even if the timesheet has been submitted multiple times. | |
1595362540 | Fixed. Users with "View Rollup" permission in a Division entity can create and view reports based on the All Projects in a Division with Financials report source. | |
Reports,Timesheet | 1594317229 | New. When running Org-level timesheet reports, users are now required to apply a filter. This will prevent inadvertently running reports that return massive data sets that get truncated as well as compromise performance. |
Request | 1594183050 | Fixed. Data dictionary changes are reflected in the Request Item window. |
1594326558 | Fixed. When creating a project from a template, the Create Project wizard displays in front of the project request UI. Previously, a regression in an earlier release caused the Create Project window to display behind the request UI. | |
1594778622 | Fixed. When printing the Request grid, the Create Date field is present. Previously, when the request grid was printed, the Create Date field was omitted. | |
1595320041 | Fixed. If a request is rejected and the rejector includes a reason for the rejection, that text appears in the rejection email. | |
1595434204 | Fixed. With the newest version of Chrome, request fields can now be deleted. | |
Resource Staffing | 1594060790 1595435264 | Improved. The Resource Workbench can now display up to 250 records. Previously, 100 records could be viewed. |
1595300426 | Fixed. Placeholder text no longer appears in Manage Designated Staffers dialog. | |
1595303766 | Fixed. When using centralized staffing, the requestor is always the user who actually submitted the request (clicked the Submit button). Previously, the user who created the staffing request, but did not submit it, was listed as the requestor. | |
1595368729 | Fixed. Centralized staffing email alerts are now formatted correctly. | |
Resource Staffing,Reports | 1595265207 | Fixed. When using centralized staffing and a request is staffed directly, the "Resource Allocation by Project Role: Allocation Status" field should be "Staffed" in relevant reports. Previously, when an allocation was staffed directly, the "Allocated Role: Staffing Request Status" field was showing as "Unstaffed". |
Self Service | 1595412433 | Improved. In SSA, if a user tries to create a new field and give it a duplicate or reserved name, an error message now explains this clearly. Previously, the message read "error during put". |
Timesheet | 1595020084 | Fixed. When using the Manage Resource Time page (as Time Manager), the context is always the selected user. Previously, certain filter fields were operating in the context of the the currently logged in user. |
UI | 1593934942 | Fixed. The Portfolio Association icon is now correct (same as Association icon in other entities). |
1595147830 | Improved. Quick-view cards now appear with resource names in the organization hierarchy. This allows you to see additional information about the resource, and provides a link to the resource record. | |
1595268058 | Fixed. Using the context menu copy and paste now works for IE11. Note that for pasting as plain text into a rich text field, you must ensure script access to the clipboard is not disabled (in Scripting section of IE Security Settings), or click '...' and use the popup window editor. | |
1595303843 | Fixed. Labels and links in the Timesheet UI are displaying correctly, with no random characters. | |
1595311485 | Improved. Integer fields with large values are formatted with comma separators. This has caused some formatting anomalies in fields that don't require commas. To provide some immediate relief, any integer fields whose names end in "ID" (with a space) will be treated as ID fields and will not show commas. | |
1595319701 | Fixed. When Gantt charts are printed to a PDF, they are now given a .pdf extension and downloaded successfully. Previously, the PDF file was given a .pa extension and the download failed. | |
1595331201 | Fixed. Various Firefox version 52 compatibility issues. | |
1595363897 1595275062 1595297575 | Fixed. The Copy to Clipboard feature is working correctly for all text entry fields. Previously, this feature was not working in IE11. | |
1595323969 | Improved. After editing records in a grid, such as the Project or Task grids, the screen no longer "bounces" to the top but instead retains focus on the recently edited record. |
