- DASH-1402: Main Menu Changes: We have changed several things in Dash360 with this release. The most notable is that the Estimating section is now called Budget. We also have changed the Cost Estimating Form to Budget Form and the Cost Estimating Reports to Budget reports. You can learn all about it (and the other UI changes we made) in this short video.
- DASH-1417: Schedule → Schedule Builder / Schedule View & Status: Vertical Spacing Enhancement: We have made a change to the vertical spacing between tasks in these 2 reports. Now, we have removed a lot of the white space so you can see a lot more tasks on the screen at one time.
- DASH-1305: Earned Value → Project Explorer: Faster Performance: We worked to make the Project Explorer much faster. This report loads a lot of data at one time. It now will load the Yearly view in seconds and the Monthly view much faster than before. More work will continue in the future to speed this report up even more.
- DASH-1414: Estimating → Staffing Plan Report: New Cost Class Filter: We add a Cost Class filter to the left-hand menu flyout. We also made Budget the default cost class on this report.
- DASH-1430: Admin → Projects → Edit Project: Faster Performance: We sped up this form loading so that only the data that is necessary for editing is pulled from the database. Before this form was taking much longer to load. Now, it is much faster.
- DASH-1284: Estimating → Work Package Report: Real Signature Images in Export: We enhanced the Excel export of the Work Package Report so that if you are using Signatures with images, the actual image of the signature will appear in the Excel file.
- DASH-1433: Reporting → Report Builder: Removed for Now: We have removed this report from Dash360 for the time being. We are working on a much more improved version of this report which will be coming in a future Dash360 release. Stay tuned.
- DASH-1434 / DASH-1258: Admin → Import / Export → Export (Actual) Resource Assignments: Download All Projects: If you tried to export all Resource Assignments for All project in Dash360, the system would throw an error. Now, it allows you to export all of this data at one time for all projects. Please note that you can still only import 1 project’s resource assignments back into Dash360 at a time. Importing more than 1 project at a time in the same Excel file will still throw an error. This change is just to make it easy to quickly get all Resource Assignments out of Dash360 with one click. Please realize this could be a lot of data that you are downloading depending on your system. It is not unheard of for this to return a file exceeding over 100 MB.
- DASH-1392 / DASH-1425: User Views: We have enhanced the Cost Summary Report, Project Explorer and Form 1030 report user views so that they will not break if you have a column in your user view that does not exist for all projects. If the user created a user view with Column A in it, but Project 2 does not have Column A, then loading Project 2 would throw an error. After this change, Column A will load for Project 2, the column will now just be empty. We will be bringing this change to other reports in the future.
- DASH-1351: Admin → Projects: More than 3 Project Favorites: We found a bug where more than 3 Tableau Favorites could be set in Dash360 by copying a project that was already a favorite. We have now fixed this issue. When you copy a project, the Favorite setting is not copied.
- DASH-1362: Estimating → Cost Estimating Form → Import Timephase Data: If you accidentally had a space in the ID column of this imported file, the system would throw an error saying it didn’t have an ID with a space. Now, this blank space is trimmed and a new Resource Assignment ID is added instead.
- DASH-1411: Schedule → Schedule Builder: This bug is specific to Firefox. In the Schedule Builder, the Horizontal Scroll Bar is not appearing at the bottom of the table. This has been fixed in this release.
- DASH-1395: Schedule → Schedule View & Status: This bug is specific to Firefox. In the Schedule Builder, the Horizontal Scroll Bar is not appearing at the bottom of the table. This has been fixed in this release.
- DASH-1429: Cost Estimate Form → Export Timephase Data: Excel File Repair Error Fixed: When you opened the Export Timephase Data file, Excel would sometimes complain that it had to repair your Excel file. We have attempted to fix that error from occurring.
- DASH-1431: Cost Summary Report / Form 1030 Report: If you selected a project that had no Resource Assignments in it, you would get a error that said “Invalid column name WBSLevel”. Now, you get No Data back instead. Both of these reports require Resource Assignments to exist for there to be any data to load in the report.
- DASH-1421: Reporting → Compare Project / Compare Cost Class: These 2 reports both have a Difference column that is calculated by Dash360 in real time. We have had an issue where if the Difference is smaller than +- .000001, the system prints the difference in exponential terms like 1.07e-6 or 1.07e6. We have now fixed this to make these values 0 instead.
- DASH-1424: Estimating → Cost Estimating Reports → WBS Summary Report: The Cost Class filter would sometimes not match the cost classes that were selected by the user. This has been fixed.
- DASH-1285: Admin → Projects → Edit Project → Cost Class: Dash360 used to allow the user to add duplicate Cost Sets and Cost Classes. This has been fixed in this release.
- DASH-1343: Admin → Projects → Codes: If you have a Code File that has Linked Code Files attached to it, then you can attach Codes to other Codes. However, after you assigned a code to a code, it would not appear in the Code listing in the Admin. Now it does.
- DASH-1255: Reporting → Compare Cost Class: The download on this report was broken. We have fixed it in this release.
- DASH-1427: Estimating → WBS Dictionary: Notebook fields that are Code Files show up as drop downs in the WBS Dictionary. When you selected a code from the drop down list, you’d also see a description with that code. However, when the WBS Dictionary then printed that code in View Mode, only the Code would appear. Now, the Code and the Code’s Description appear.
- DASH-1257: Admin → Projects → Codes, Rates, Resources: On these Admin tabs, we show a list of Projects where this Code File, Rate File, Resource File is used. In the past, this Projects list could show the same project multiple times. This was a bug that we have fixed in this release.
- DASH-1416: Schedule → Schedule Builder: We have made several fixes to this report. First, the WBS column would allow you to group by it, but you couldn’t sort it. Now you can. Columns WBS Level 1, 2, 3, etc. did not have any descriptions on the field. Now they do. We also fixed the sorting on the WBS Levels.
- DASH-1405: Reporting → Cost Estimate Detail Report: If you have notebook fields with bullets or paragraphs, then the PDF version of this report was stripping those out. With this change, we have put that data back in so that your PDF export looks more like what you see on the Dash360 UI.
- DASH-1442: Reporting → Form 1030 Report: When you first load this report, the Fiscal Year columns in the report sometimes would not properly load data. This has been fixed in this release.
- DASH-1404: Schedule → Schedule View & Status: Some customers could load their schedule in the Schedule Builder but not in the Schedule View & Status page. This has been corrected in this release.
