v3.62

Friday, May 31st, 2024 New Features DASH-1272: Budget → Budget Reports → Cost Summary Resource Report: We have built another version of the Cost Summary Report at the Resource Assignment level. The Cost Summary Report only goes down to the Work Package level. This new report goes down to the Resource Code and Resource Assignment level. With this new version of the report, you can now include Resource Code Codes and Resource Assignment Notebook fields on your report (somethin you cannot see on the Cost Summary Report). DASH-1409: Admin → Projects → Notebooks: Help Text for Notebook Fields: As an admin user, you can now add help text to all of your notebook fields. If you add help text to a field, then a small info icon will appear next to the field. Then, when your users roll over these icons, the help text you entered in the Admin area will appear. DASH-1444: Admin → Projects → Notebooks: Add a CAM Notebook Category Field Type: We have added a new notebook category field type called CAM. When you set this notebook category up using this field type, Dash360 will automatically create a dropdown list with all of the Dash360 users in the list. This allows you to attach a CAM field anywhere that a notebook field can be used. Before this feature, you had to maintain your own User code file. DASH-1407: Admin → Import / Export → Export Contingency Assignments: Add Resource Code Fields to Export: We added 3 read-only fields to the Export: Resource Code, Resource Code Description and Resource Assignment Description to this export. These fields are for Export only (read-only) and cannot be imported back into Dash360. They are used to help you when pivoting this data in MS Excel. DASH-1491: Admin → User Activities Report: We have added a column to allow you to show / filter by a Project Name field in this report. This can help to make it easier to find activities just on specific projects. DASH-1496: Budget → Work Package Report → Hide Contingency: We added a registry setting called “WPReport-Hide-Contingency” that allows you to hide the Contingency section from this report. By default, it is turned off and the Contingency will appear on the report. Bug Fixes / Small Enhancements DASH-1499: Admin → Import / Export → Resource Assignments: When exporting Resource Assignments from Dash360, the system would automatically set the Start Date field to the first day of the month and the Finish Date to the last day of the month even if your Resource Assignment didn’t start on the first day of the month or end on the last day of the month. This has been corrected both on the Export and the Import Resource Assignment areas. DASH-1482: Admin → Import / Export → Resource Assignments: If you tried to import a Resource Assignment file with over 100K rows in it, Dash360 would sometimes throw an error. We have made modifications to this import to keep this from happening. DASH-1391: Admin → Import / Export → Resource Assignments: When importing Resource Assignments, Dash360 would allow you to enter any value you wanted for the Resource Type column. This then caused issues when using the application because Dash360 only really supports 3 Resource Type values: “labor”, “nonlabor” or “travel” in all lowercase. With this ticket, we have added error handling to insure that only these 3 values are used for this field. If you try to use something else, you will now get an error. DASH-1318: Budget → Budget Form → Add / Edit Resource Assignment: When adding supporting links to a Resource Assignment, sometimes the system would attach links from one Resource Assignment to a sister Resource Assignments when it was not intended. This issue has been fixed in this release. DASH-1506: Earned Value → Project Explorer: The Unit Cost field in the Project Explorer was not showing the correct values. This has been corrected in this release. DASH-1352: Admin → Projects → Calculate Earned Value: When Calculating Earned Value, Dash360 shows you your project’s current Reporting Period. The Reporting Period value should only ever go forward (never backwards after EV has been calculated on a project). This new change has added a new No-Rollback-of-Reporting-Period registry setting that prevents you from being able to pick a date in the past. This flag is turned on now for all projects and you will receive an error in Dash360 if you try to set your Reporting Period to a date before the current Reporting Period. DASH-1490: Login Failure: Some users were having issues logging into Dash360. This was because their default page was set to the Dashboard page which no longer exists in Dash360 for most customers. We also have removed the ability for this to be your startup page. We will be removing the Dashboard from all customer sites at a later date. DASH-1494: Budget → Staffing Plan Report: Some users experienced a red box error in Dash360 when scrolling through the Staffing Plan Report. This has been fixed in this release. DASH-1495: Reporting → Form 1030 Report: We have had multiple reports about the Form 1030 not providing the correct values when users are trying to load the Report Type: Group by Resource ID. This typically happens because the user modifies this layout and tries to turn the Resource ID grouped report into a WBS Level report (which we have another Report Type for called Group by WBS / Work Package). To help simplify things, we have made the WBS / Work Package grouping the default Form 1030 report. We also have changed the Resource ID grouped report to return all WBS Levels and Work Package fields as empty. If you want to see the Form 1030 Report with WBS Levels and Work Packages, please select the WBS / Work Package report type. DASH-1511: Earned Value → Project Explorer: The Unit Cost field should only show a value for the Direct Resource Result (like it used to in a previous version of Project Explorer). This has been corrected in this release.
