- In the Resource Calculations area, the first result in a calculation no longer shows a Rate Set dropdown field. The Resource Calculations never supported a rate set for the first resource result. However, some users set one accidentally which caused confusion when their calculations did not calculate properly.
- The Copy Project feature now allows you to copy Permissions from one project to another. There were also 13 more tables added to the Copy Project functionality - most of them new Earned Value tables that existing customers have not started using yet.
- If you had 2 or more projects with different rate files but the same rate set names, then changing a rate set name in one rate file would accidentally change that name in all rate files. This even occurred with locked projects. This has now been corrected.
- When an admin changes a rate set name, the system now looks for the old rate set name in any resource calculations for this rate file and updates it to it’s new value. This means you can now change rate set names without breaking your existing resource calculations.
- There is now a Registry item to turn on Format 1030 Reports. It is turned off by default. If it is turned off, the system does not show the Reporting menu item or the Format 1030 Report menu item. If it is turned on, both show up. In the Admin, you also get the ability to assign a Format 1030 Code File and apply it to Resource Results, Resource Codes or Resource Calculations.
- There is now a new section on the Cost Estimating Form called WBS Dictionary. This section allows any user with write access to a Work Package to edit the WBS Dictionary fields. If a project has no WBS Dictionary Notebook fields set for the project, then this section does not show up on the Cost Estimating Form.
- The Admin → Resources area now shows checkboxes next to each Resource Code. If you click a series of checkboxes, the Bulk Edit and Bulk Delete options will appear. Clicking Bulk Edit allows you to assign new values to all of the resource codes selected. Important: This does overwrite any values previously entered for these Resource Codes, so please use sparingly. The Bulk Edit Resource Code Form also allows you to bulk assign Resource Calculations to all selected Resource Codes. A great way to quickly update all resource codes of a specific resource type.
