v3.63

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024 New Features: DASH-1503: Rearrange Menu Items and moved Project Explorer and RAM to Budget Reports: We have Rearranged the menu items on the product to (1) Budget, (2) Schedule, (3) Earned Value, (4) Risk and (5) Reporting. We also moved the Project Explorer and RAM to the Budget Reports area. DASH-1160: Shift Project by # of Months or New Date: For non-Earned Value project, you can now shift the estimate and schedule based on a new date or # of months. You can also do this by WBS, Work Package and Cost Class. DASH-212 Budget → WBS Tree → Export to PDF: We have implemented a new feature that allows users to export their WBS tree for a project to PDF. DASH-1406: Budget → Work Package Report → CAM, EVT & % Complete Fields Added: New fields have been added to enhance the Work Package report. The CAM detail assigned to the Cost Estimate will now be displayed in the Work Package section. This field will only be visible if a CAM has been assigned to the Cost Estimate. The Earned Value Technique (EVT) will also be displayed in the Work Package section. The percentage value will also be shown for Work Packages with Percent Complete as their EVT. DASH-1512: CAM Notebook Field Now Available Everywhere: A feature went out in the last release which allowed Notebook categories to be setup with a new field type called ‘CAM’. Here, we made sure that the feature is accessible in every area where Notebook Categories are displayed across the product. DASH-1269: Budget → Work Package Report → Export to PDF: We have a new feature for generating the Work Package Report in PDF. This enhancement provides users with richer content when exporting the Work Package report to PDF. The system now intelligently optimizes space by determining the best placement for components such as Attachments, Signatures, Contingency, and Schedules in the generated PDF. You can export the PDF a work package at a time, or download your entire project into a single PDF. DASH-1644: Admin → Projects → Copy Cost Class: Replace Existing now really Replaces ALL Data in the Target Cost Class: With this release, we now wipe out all data in the Target Cost Class if you select Replace Existing from the Copy Cost Class modal. Before, we just replaced the timephase data in the Target Cost Class for the Resource Assignments that existed in the Source Cost Class. This feature now does a delete in the Target Cost Class first. With this option now selected, your Source Cost Class Resource Assignments will be the same in the Target Cost Class. We also made a change so your Source Resource Assignments Start & Finish Dates are fully preserved when copied to the Target Cost Class. There was a bug where the Target Cost Class Resource Assignments always had the last day of the month as both their Start & Finish Date. DASH-1498: Schedule → Schedule Viewer: Added Zoom In / Zoom Out Buttons to UI: We added the zoom in & out feature to the Schedule Viewer. This is similar to what is already in the Schedule Builder. Small Enhancements / Bug Fixes DASH-1508: Admin → Projects → Codes: Copying a WBS Code File Looses Tree Hierarchy: When you copy a WBS code file, the new WBS code file often does not inherit the structure and hierarchy from the original WBS Code file in the tree view. This issue has now been resolved. The new WBS code file will now retain the structure and hierarchy of the original WBS Code file when copied. DASH-1602: Admin → Import / Export → Import Cost Estimate Throwing Errors if Change the WP Code and It Already Exists: If you are changing the WP Code in the Cost Estimate import and that WP Code already exists in the system, then Dash360 was throwing an error because it was trying to create another copy of the same code (which is not allowed). This has been fixed in this release so that this part is skipped if the code already exists. DASH-1640: Budget → Budget Reports → WBS Summary Report Throwing Error for some CAMs: If you have CAM users trying to access the WBS Summary Report and that report has the Cost Type graph, then your CAMs likely were not able to see this report. This has been fixed with this release. DASH-1367: Schedule → Variance Narrative Report → Variance Narrative Exports need to export ALL of the Report: Previously, when attempting to export the variance narrative of a project where the report data is paginated, the system would only download the data for the current page you were on. This issue has been fixed and now all pages are exported to Excel or PDF. DASH-1520: Admin → Registry → Startup Page Cleanup: The pages listed in this registry setting’s drop down list were not displayed in the same order as they were in the Dash360 main menu. This has been fixed. This fix has also been applied to the User Profile page as the Startup Page can be specified there, too. DASH-1514: Budget → Budget Form → Add / Edit Resource Assignment → Apply Contingency to All Resource Assignments of a Specific Resource Type: A Bug prevented the application from applying the contingency percent to all resource assignments for a particular resource type (Labor, Non-Labor or Travel). This is a special checkbox on the Add / Edit RA form and has been fixed in this release. DASH-1515: Schedule → Schedule Status Report → Update Export Filename: We changed the Schedule Status Update Report Excel export filename from ‘Datagrid.xlsx’ to ‘Schedule Status Update Report.xlsx’. DASH-1518: Schedule → Schedule Builder / Viewer → Format Dates Based on DateFormat Registry Value: On the Schedule Viewer/Builder today, the date format for Activity Start and Finish dates on default is set to YYYY-mm-dd. This has been corrected to always adhere to the Registry DateFormat value instead. DASH-1517: Admin → Projects → Registry: Setting a Registry Item value to “1” or “0” always displays “On” or “Off”(Admin → Projects → Registry). This should only work for items whose On/Off fields are set to “1”. This has been corrected. DASH-1599: Admin → Projects → Codes: Code Files Attached to a Locked Project Should Not Be Modifiable in the Tree Area: A validation has been added to prevent users from adding, editing, or deleting WBS codes in locked projects. DASH-1493: Budget → Budget Form → Add / Edit Resource Assignment: Checks for Start Date & Finish Date: We have added a check that keeps you from creating a Resource Assignment before the date 1/1/2000 and after the date 12/31/2100. This check was added because some users accidentally entered incorrect years (Ex: 2420 when they meant 2024). This would cause Dash360 to generate 100K+ timephase records that would result in an error. These checks were put in place to prevent that from happening. DASH-1492: Budget → Budget Form: Changed Browser Title to Read “Budget Form” instead of “Cost Estimating Form”: In the browser title, we changed the name of the page from Cost Estimating Form to Budget Form. DASH-1488: Admin → Projects → Resources → Add / Edit Resource Code with Premium Pay Should Only Show Hired Date on Labor Resources: If you have the Premium Pay feature on in your Dash360 installation, then you should only see the Hired Date field on Labor Resource Codes. Before this release, the Hired Date was also showing on Non-Labor and Travel Resource Codes. This has been fixed.
