- Activity Steps: A new feature has been built into the Cost Estimating Form → Schedule, Schedule Builder and Schedule Viewer that allows you to add activity steps to any task in Dash360. There is also a new field in the Add/Edit Task form that allows you to set an activity to calculate it’s percent complete from it’s steps. This means steps can drive your task’s percent complete if you’d like. These steps can also be imported / exported out of Dash360. It is also part of our backup and restore of a project and the copy project function.
- K Value / M Value: A new feature has been added to over a dozen reports in Dash360. This feature is implemented as an individual filter called Currency Format on many reports. Changing the filter to “K Value” will divide all currency values on the report by 1000 and denote that the currency value is in K dollars / euros (or your chosen currency). “M Value” will do the same thing as the K Value, but it divides everything by 1,000,000. This feature is also setup as a User Setting and a Registry value so you can set a default for yourself (user settings) or all of your users in the registry (if you are an admin user).
- Admin → Export → Schedule Resource Assignments: Changed this export so that all tasks and resources are exported even if the task and cost data is not in sync (different start / finish dates). In the past, this export only exported those tasks and resources that were in sync (had the same dates). Added an extra column to the export called “Cost Schedule Sync”. This field contains a Yes or No value. If Yes, then the Cost & Schedule for this task / resource are in sync. If not, a No value will be in this column. Use this data along with Excel filters to find Cost & Schedule data that needs to be corrected.
- Admin → Export → Primavera Schedule Resource Assignments: Built a new export that is in the format that Primavera requires for importing data.
- Admin → Codes → Delete Code: When deleting a code from the admin, an error message appeared and the system did not delete the code. This has been corrected.
- Estimating → Cost Estimate Form: Dash360 allows for dynamic columns names that can be as long as you want them to be. This sometimes caused issues inside the Labor, Non-Labor, Travel and Schedule datagrids on the Cost Estimate Form. This could result in really tall columns in the datagrid. An attempt has been made to expand the columns so that this does not occur.
