Release Note Descriptions |
---|---|---|
Admin |
1594029007 |
New. There is now a field on the resource record which allows email to be temporarily disabled for a given resource. Enabling this feature will disable all email to a particular resource - alerts, timesheets, manual sending, and so on - but not places where you type an actual email address like in the published dashboard notifications. The email field remains populated so you can disable the feature later and the email will become active again. |
Admin |
1595690062 |
Improved. The ID column has been added back to the lookup list and lookup list values grid. |
Calculated Fields |
1594761895 |
Improved. The Description field for calculated fields now accepts 2000 characters. If you reach that limit, you will be prevented from entering more text. Previously, when the 200 character limit was reached, a message appeared and the contents of the field were deleted, rather than trimmed. |
Dashboard |
1595248501 |
New. Now entity level dashboard alerts display the subject in the format "Dashboard <dashboard name> on <entity name> is ready", so users can quickly identify the project on which the dashboard is based. |
Dashboard,Reports |
1595702500 |
Fixed. Color schemes are rendering properly in dashboards. Previously, an issue with the new lookup list feature caused some charts to render in brown. |
Data Dictionary |
1595696222 |
Fixed. Data dictionary changes are reflected in lookup lists. |
Expenses |
1595638969 |
Fixed. When using profile-based permissions for projects, users can enter expenses for tasks they are scheduled to in projects they can view. Previously users were unable to enter project expenses when profile-based project permissions were enabled. |
Filter |
1594978977 |
New. Users can create resource filters based on email addresses. The "contains" operator is provided. |
Filter |
1595617400 |
Fixed. Projects can be filtered by scoring profile. Previously, "Scoring Profile Is..." did not present the list of scoring profiles. |

1595390384 |
Fixed. User with French/Canada locale will no longer receive an error in the Resource Workbench. |
Import | 1595780151 | Fixed. Basic importing from MSP 2016 is now supported. |
Issue |
1595476258 |
Fixed. "Project" is no longer pre-pended to the title of the Issues/Risks grid (or whatever you have renamed it). That naming convention only made sense if the entity did not already contain the word "project". So now if you have renamed "issues/Risks" to Project Logs, you will no longer see "Project Project Logs." :) |
Permissions |
1595209530 |
Fixed. A problem with the All Users group suppressing permissions for viewing reports has been fixed. |
Project |
1594175845 1594131880 1595384690 |

Project |
1595189834 |
Fixed. When there is one baseline, deltas are calculated automatically without requiring you to select the baseline from the droplist. If there are multiple baselines, deltas are calculated automatically using the default baseline, unless a different baseline is selected. Deltas are displayed regardless of allocation unit (hours or headcount). |
Project |
1595453259 1595384690 |
Fixed. Inactive users proposed to be staffed to a project are displayed in italics and strikethrough. When the inactive user is replaced with an active user, the proposed active user is displayed with italics only. Previously, the active proposed user that replaced the inactive proposed user was displayed with italics and strikethrough. |
Project,Resource Staffing |
1595422296 |
Fixed.The split screen divider is working correctly in Project staffing page. It can be adjusted by sliding it right or left. Previously, the divider would bounce back to the center of the screen after being adjusted. |
Reports |
595609835 |
Fixed issue causing resources with names like "Green" colored green. |
Reports |
1594441556 |
New. The Unit Manager field is now available in the Related folder of Resource Planning reports. |
Reports |
1595021211 1595296327 |
Fixed. When exporting a report or dashboard to Excel, the report details use the correct date and time based on the user locale. Previously, the details used the pacific timezone regardless of user locale. |
Reports |
1595332128 |
Fixed. Titles and drill down links now render and behave as expected in bubble charts. |
Reports |
1595655126 |
Fixed. If a report is rerun with different filters, the printed details reflect the last used filters. Previously, the printed details displayed the filters that were used with the initial run, not the most recent rerun. |
Reports |
1595682852 |
Fixed. Gantt chart reports configured with Color By the RYG Overall field work as expected (renders with the expected colors). |
Reports |
1595685226 |

Fixed. The contours pane in the Resource Workbench can be sorted Ascending/Descending. Previously, these menu options were inactive. |
Self Service |
1593472511 |
Improved. Renamed the autocomplete subtype 2 "Current Resources" to "All Resources". The pick list contains active, inactive, and terminated users, so the new name is more accurate. |
Self Service,Permissions |
1593522163 |
Fixed. Restrictions placed on fields are also respected in the bulk editor. Previously, fields restricted to certain users were editable by all users in the bulk editor. |
Task |
1594566965 |
Fixed. The ID inspector works as expected from all task areas (locked fields, unlocked fields, Details panel. |
Task |
1594758902 |
Fixed. The task Budget Cost field value now renders correctly. |

1595198042 |

New. Users can now unsubmit timesheets, make changes, and then resubmit.
