- Schedule BuilderYou can now Edit Resource Assignments from the Schedule Builder! In the Schedule Builder, show the Resource pane from the left-hand menu flyout. Then, click on an Activity. Every Resource now has a pencil icon that allows you to edit that resource assignment.
- We have added a Resource bar to the gantt chart area. You can now see your full resource start and end dates displayed and how they match to your activity start and end dates. The Resource view in the bottom pane also allows you to see any mismatches between your cost estimate start and end dates and your activity start and end dates. In this pane, we show the units or costs and how they are applied. Values in orange are cost estimate values that fall outside your activity date range.
- We also add every resource result as an option for your Resource activity view. Now, you can choose to see your activity broken down by Hours, FTEs, Direct, Escalation or any other result you use in your calculations.
- The Gantt chart now also displays the Previous Month Start & End Dates as bars to the view.
- We also added filters in the left hand menu flyout so you can easily show / hide all of the new bars in the Gantt chart. This way you can see all the bars at once or declutter your view to your liking.
- Resource Assignment Notebook FieldsYou can now add notebook fields to your Resource Assignments. Add a text field, drop down list from a code file or any other notebook field to your Resources. Just go to Edit Project and add your notebook field to your project. Then, visit the Cost Estimate Form and Add / Edit a Resource Assignment. You will now see your notebook field on the Add / Edit form. So far, we have added the output of this field to the Project Explorer and Cost Estimate Detail Report, but it will be added to the Cost Estimate Form & Work Package Report displays soon.
- Staffing Plan: We fixed the Scale → Monthly view of the report. It was throwing an error but is now fixed. Also, the Scale → Yearly view now shows all FTE amounts divided by 12. Several customers had reported strange numbers appearing on this report. This fix should correct that problem.
- Cost Estimate Form: The Restart Signoff Process button in the Signature Approvals area is now only visible to admins. It used to also be visible to CAMs which caused issues for some customers.
- Schedule Builder: The schedule builder was not depicting finish dates properly. The bar now extends fully through the finish date of the activity.
- Schedule Builder: In the daily view, non-workdays (weekends) are shaded gray. However, when using the Month or Yearly scale, entire months or weeks were also shaded. This was a bug that has now been corrected.
- Schedule Builder: On the Add Activity screen, the WBS and Work Package dropdowns are now sorted. The Work Package dropdown also is now filtered to show just the Work Packages that are in the WBS you selected.
- Schedule Builder: When a blank schedule exists in Dash360 and you add your first task, two tasks appear. The one you created and another task named “New Task”. Refreshing the page removed the task. This “New Task” activity has now been removed with this fix.
- Schedule Builder: We added Help & Notification icons to this page.
- Schedule Viewer & Builder: Fixed an issue where clicking an Activity in Resource Code view would throw an error. This bug has been corrected.
- Schedule Builder: The Schedule Builder was not starting Finish Start successor activities on the next day. This has been corrected.
- Schedule Builder: On the Add / Edit Activity form, the Predecessors and Successors were still showing links to activities when those links had been deleted using the Schedule Status Update feature. This has been corrected.
- Dashboard: We added the Fiscal Year Start Month and the Fiscal Quarter Year to the Dashboard datasource to make it easier to build dashboards with quarters data.
- Increased timeouts on all queries to 10 minutes. We had a few queries for some customers that were taking more than 1 minute to return. This should help solve the customer from being able to use a feature while we diagnosis the performance issue.
- Cost Estimate Timephase Export: We added the following fields to this export file: Is Currency flage, Fiscal Year, Resource Result Sort Order, Cost Class and Resource Assignment ID.
- Cost Estimate Form: In the Add a Milestone or Task modal, the Add Resource Assignment button threw an error. This has now been corrected.
- Cost Estimating Form: When deleting activities, an error occurred. This error has been fixed.
- Empty Timephase Records Removed: Dash360 stores generated timephased data to speed up the product. This data is stored per resource assignment. We previously created empty timephase records for the gaps between the cost estimate start date and the resource assignment start date AND the cost estimate finish date and resource assignment finish date. These empty records are no longer created. This should help speed up the product and allow features like Copy Project and Backup Project to work for customers like CMB-S4 and other customers with large datasets.
- We removed 30 stored procedures that are no longer used by Dash360 as we transition away from stored procedures and more towards Entity Framework for easier code management.
