  • AdminProjects → Edit Project → Calendar: A new Calendar tab was added that allows you to set the Project Start Date, Project End Date, Work Days & # of Working Hours per Day. You can also add one-off and yearly holidays. Then, this tab will allow you to generate an Hours or FTE rate set that matches your calendar. This feature creates a rateset with a rate entry for each month in your project and varies the hours or fte rates based on the number of working days in each month.
  • ScheduleSchedule Builder: You can now add resource assignments directly from the Schedule! To add a resource assignment, first double click on an existing activity or click the Add a New Activity (+) button on the Schedule Builder. A new Add Resource Assignment button is located at the bottom of the modal. Clicking this button will bring up the same Add a Resource Assignment form that is used on the Cost Estimate Form and Project Explorer. Add your Resource Assignment, and it will also show up on your Cost Estimate!
  • EstimatingCost Estimating Reports → Cost Summary Report: You can now add Fiscal Year columns to the Cost Summary Report. These columns will show you total values for that year.
  • Cost Estimating Reports → Cost Summary Report: You can now see linked code files as columns in this report. Linked code files can occur on notebook fields or resource codes. This new feature allows you to select those linked code files as a column and display them on this report. This also can be done on the Contingency Assignment Report, Staffing Plan Report and the Cost Estimate Detail Report.
  • Cost Estimating Form: CMB-S4 requested a feature that would allow an Admin to hide the External Links feature from Dash360. We added a Registry setting called CostEstimatingForm-Hide-External-Links and CostEstimatingForm-Hide-Internal-Links which allows you to hide either internal or external links from the cost estimating form. This feature just hides the form fields that allow you to add these files.
  • Cost Estimating Reports → Cost Summary Report: We made this report even faster! Some customers whose projects had grown over the last year were seeing very slow performance. We worked on speeding it up for you and are happy to report it should be much faster.
  • Bug Fixes & Small EnhancementsAdmin → Projects → Restore Project: When an admin would restore a project with WBS Notebook Entries, the system wrongly created Notebook Categories for every WBS Notebook Entry record in the Backup file. This had the effect of creating 100s of bad notebook category fields in the Admin for some customers. This has been corrected.
  • Schedule → Schedule Viewer & Schedule Builder: We fixed a bug that kept resources from showing up in the Resources view. Now, if the Resources view is turned on for the Schedule and you click on an activity, you will see the resources assigned to that activity in the lower pane.
  • Estimating → Cost Estimating Form: This bug applies to all customers calculating contingency at the Work Package (WP) level. When adding or editing a Resource Assignment to the Cost Estimating Form, the Contingency set for that WP was accidentally being applied at whatever value you set * 100. If you modified a Resource Assignment and then went and looked at the Cost Summary Report, you could see a wrong Contingency %. For example, your WP has a 16% contingency. When looking at it on the Cost Summary Report, you would instead see 1600%. If you went back into your WP, clicked on Risk Factors and then clicked Save, then the contingency for this new record would be fixed. If you went to Admin → Projects → Recalculate Project, this would also be fixed. This bug has been corrected so customers will not see it in the future.
