Monday, January 8th, 2023 New Features
  • DASH-1156: Estimating → Cost Estimating Reports → WBS Summary Report: Added multi-select checkboxes to the Cost Class filter so you can now select multiple cost classes to show in the report (instead of just one).
  • DASH-1172: Admin → Users → Delete Inactive Users: We built a feature so that you can delete an Inactive User from Dash360. When you delete an Active User from Dash360, it makes them an inactive user. In the past, these inactive users could not be deleted. These users could not logged in, but they were still listed in the Admin → Users area. Now, you can click the delete icon on the Inactive User. This will pop up a modal and will show you the data that belongs to that user. It then allows you to map this data to a new user. Once you choose a new user to map the existing data to, then you may delete the user. The system will map the existing data to the new user and then delete the old inactive user.
  • DASH-1164: Admin → Admin Reports → User Last Login Report: This report will show a list of all of the users in Dash360 and the last time they logged in to Dash360.
  • DASH-1089: Admin → Resources → Resource Code Listing → Has Resource Calculations: Added a new column to this listing that now lists whether or not a Resource Code has a Resource Calculation attached to it or not.
  • DASH-1202: Admin → Import / Export → Import / Export Resources: We have modified the Import / Export for Resources so that you can now add, update or delete Linked Resource Code Codes for a Resource Code. The system will create a separate column in the Export Resources for each Linked Resource Code Code. You can then add, edit or delete the codes for each Resource Code and reimport it back into the system. This hopefully saves time for users who are using these custom fields.
  • DASH-1102: Admin → Import / Export → Import / Export Cost Estimate: We have modified the Import / Export for Cost Estimates so that you can now add, update or delete Notebook Entries for a Cost Estimate. The system will create a separate column in the Export Cost Estimates for each Notebook Category. You can then add, edit or delete the notebook entries for each Cost Estimate and reimport it back into the system. This hopefully saves time for users who are using these custom fields.
  • DASH-1105: Admin → Import / Export → All Exports: Any project filters now only show Active Projects in the filter.
Bug Fixes & Other Small Changes
  • DASH-1210: Earned Value → CPR: When I click on an SV or CV value, the Add / Edit Variance Narrative form appears. At the top of this modal, the CPR section that shows the values for that Work Package always says “No Data” when it should show the CPR data for this Work Package. This has been corrected.
  • DASH-1211: Earned Value → Variance Narrative Report: There were several changes to this report. The Variance Narrative Report narrative entry fields could sometimes get out of order if they were not created sequentially. The Excel and Word files also did not have the variance narrative entries in them. The report was also missing 2 thresh hold filters that the CPR contained. All of these items have been fixed.
  • DASH-1225: Earned Value → Variance Narrative Report: If there is no data in a particular reporting period, the system throws a bad error that doesn’t make sense. We have updated this to say there is no data in this reporting period instead.
  • DASH-1159: Estimating → Cost Estimate Form: Saving a view resets the WBS and Work Package sometimes to where the user has to repick their WBS and / or Work Package. This has been corrected.
  • DASH-1236: Reporting → Variance Narrative Report: The link for this menu item was pointing to the wrong report. It has now been updated to work correctly.
  • DASH-1256 & DASH-1169: Respread Resource Assignments by Activity Dates: There was a bug with this new feature where timephase data would get deleted (instead of respread) when a Resource Assignment had a single Activity attached to it and that Activity had the same Start and Finish Date. This would cause the timephase data for the Resource Assignment to be deleted instead of properly respread. We have also greatly sped up this process so that it is faster. This has been corrected.
  • DASH-1199 & DASH-1204: Schedule → Quick Status: The Quick Status report has been for a lot of customers. We therefore have added a top line CAM filter where you must select a CAM to show the report. There is an ALL option, so you can still load the whole report if needed (which will be slower than if you select a CAM). Also fixed a number of issues around user views and filters.
  • DASH-1221: Admin → Projects → Restore Project: There was an error where the Schedule Status Date in the project backup file could be set to Undefined in the Excel file. This is because the data for this date is set to 1/1/0001 in the database (due to a previous change in Dash360). This would cause an error when restoring a project. This has been fixed.
  • DASH-1109: Admin → Import / Export → Import Actual Resource Assignments: When importing in Actual Resource Assignments, the Comments for actual resource assignments entered through the UI were deleted. This has been corrected.
  • DASH-1260: Admin → Import / Export → Import Resource Calculation: If I have no Form 1030 Code File or Form 1030 Code in my Resource Calculation Import, it sometimes would fail. The feature now has been updated so it works whether you have a 1030 code or not.
  • DASH-1201: Admin → Import / Export → Export: When exporting a file, you are asked to filter your data before you export. These filters have been slow. We have worked in this release to make them much faster.
  • DASH-1194: Admin → Import: All import mapping screens have a field for “Code Order” and should not have this field. It has been removed from all import mapping screens except for the Codes import.
  • DASH-1192: Admin → Projects → Rates: In the Rate History dialog, we have updated the “Boe” label to read “BOE”. We also changed “RatesetBoe” to “Rate Set BOE”. Finally, we added a way to filter the Rates by the Rate Set Name.
  • DASH-918: Admin → Backup / Restore Project (and other imports): There was an issue where the European format of dates in the DD/MM/YYYY format could cause an issue in Dash360 when importing them. We have corrected this issue. To insure that Dash360 handles your dates correctly, please make sure all Excel files have their date fields formatted and are using your prescribed date format. If you are using Dash360 export files, then you should have no issue. If you are building your Excel files by hand, then you can tell a date is properly formatted in Excel because it will automatically right justify the date. If it is left justified, then Excel is treating it like a string.
