What's New - April 2021

Fixed. Creating a filter for financial entries works as expected. Previously, an issue cause "Forecast" to appear twice as a filter element.

Fixed. Notifications are sent out as expected if an alert has been configured to notify the immediate supervisor of users who have an overdue timesheet. Previously, an issue prevented the alert from firing.

Fixed. The "is" and "contains" operands work as expected when creating filters for the Designated Staffer and the Route To fields. Previously an issue caused filters using these operands to produce unexpected results.

Fixed. Bill rate visibility on the project Staffing section works as expected: users who are not in the Billing Rates standard group will see the title "Role Rate" but not the value of the rate itself. Users in the Organization standard group can see actual rate values in the project Billing Rates section. Previously, if not in Billing Rates group users were seeing "Resource Rate" instead of Role Rate, and non-permissioned users could see project billing rate values in the Billing Rates section.

Fixed. When the "Notify other pending approvers" checkbox is enabled in the Approval model, the system sends a notification to all pending approvers at the current gate. Previously an issue caused the notification to be sent to approvers at the next gate.

Fixed. The report source 'All Roles Allocated' now runs as expected. Previously reporting on Actual Hours with this report source resulted in a Null Pointer Error.

Fixed. When using the data import facility to update an entity, if the system hits an invalid record, the update will abort and a message will inform the user. Previously, if an invalid record was hit, the system implied the update was successful even though the records had not been updated. 

Fixed. Now adding a filter to a filtered list in SSA gives expected results.

Improved. (Managed Staffing enabled and user has Staff Directly permission) When staffing directly by way of the "quick staff" button on the project Staffing screen, you now have the option of saving the allocation with a status of "New" (click the Save button) or saving the allocation with a status of "Staffed" (click the Save and Staff button). This additional flexibility accommodates organizations' different staffing processes. 

Fixed. When creating a project from a template, including/excluding the  project calendar element now works as expected - if you include the project calendar in the copy, that is the calendar that will be used in the target project. Previously, if you included the project calendar element when creating a project from a template, the system allowed you to select a different calendar in the template project during the copy, but ultimately used the original calendar from the template project, making it appear that there was a bug. We have enough real bugs in our product, we don't need imposters. 

Fixed. Creating request reminder notification messages works as expected. Previously, in certain situations the reminder notification text area in the rich text editor disappeared, only to be found after refreshing or re-entering the editor. S'all good now. 

Fixed. The Cost Budget field in the Task grid reflects the sum of CapEx and OpEx tasks. Previously, the sum included OpEx fields only. 

Improved. The type-ahead/searching function has been improved, primarily when searching for currency codes. Previously, it appeared that certain currencies were not supported, when in fact the type-ahead was not locating and displaying them. 

Fixed. User-defined field titles can repeat across entities. For example, you can have a Project Log field called Calamity, and you can have a Task field called Calamity. Previously, if a user tried to enter a UDF title that was in use in another entity, the system threw the error: Title: Another field already has this title" - to which we now say, so what?!
