Logbook releases

           

December 2025 release notes

Multiple associations feature

This enhancement allows a single Logbook entry – such as a risk, issue, lesson learned, or decision – to be associated with multiple entities across projects, programs, and strategies, which removes the need to duplicate entries and improves cross-entity context and reporting.

The benefits of this enhancement include:

  • Eliminates duplication – a single risk or issue can be linked across multiple projects or strategies.
  • Holistic cross-entity reporting – teams can understand how a Logbook entry impacts various initiatives and communicate interconnected insights more effectively.
  • Better decision support – strengthens visibility and context, enabling more informed decisions and targeted actions.

What Has Changed

New system attributes in Planview Admin

There are two new system attributes for log types:

  • Entity associations
    • allows users to search and select additional entities of the same type as the primary entity.
    • enables multiple associations for all Logbook entry types.
  • Item associations (This attribute was earlier called 'Association')
    • allows users to search and select work items from the plan/WBS of associated entities.
    • strengthens traceability between Logbook entries and execution.

When these system attributes are added to a log type, users can add or manage associated entities directly from the Associations section in the details panel of a Logbook entry. Work items related to associated entities are also accessible through the same view.

Important Technical Notes

This release includes database-level changes. As a result, existing Logbook reporting and datasets may be affected. Updated Logbook dataset documentation is available on the Planview Customer Success Center at :Accessing Logbook data with OData to support teams with migration and reporting updates.
