fastProject 4.10.3 Released
/General
Date problem fixed where in some instances, when selecting a date, the date did not appear in the correct format for the region
Fixed issue where a user upgrading from fastProject with the old licensing scheme to fastProject with the new licensing scheme would get an “Invalid Timeout” message and be unable to request a license key
Added a “Hide Summary Tasks” to the Toolbar
Problem fixed with versions of MS Project 2019, Build 13801 and later, where the MS Project Feedback window would open vs. invoking the Inspector
Report
** NEW **
All reports moved to a new Report Tab for which there are two groups: Team reporting and Executive reporting
New step-by-step utility to walk through generating the reports for a project
Update
When importing LARs:
Can now select multiple LARs when importing “Only Updated Tasks”
At the end of an import, Update Progress is only invoked if an import occurred, i.e. it won’t be invoked if there was an error importing a LAR or an import did not occur
Fixed a problem where some milestones were not being exported
Number of tasks to be updated in the Update Progress startup window now better reflects the number of tasks that will be updated
Added an option to display Progress in the Update window status bar, which shows the number of tasks that have been updated and the total to be updated (e.g. 7 of 56)
Fixed problem highlighting a task from within the Update window when navigating away from the task being updated (bit the task being updated and the selected task were highlighted)
Fixed problem when updating a Touchpoint/Checkpoint or Deliverable where the milestone would move to 8:00am (beginning of the day) of the date rather than 5:00pm (end of the day)
Fixed problem importing a PreFresh report, where the Core Team Leader (Text1) and Function (Text3) values were overwritten based on the value in the Activity Owner (Text2) column.
Fixed bug where the report under Last Update Info was incorrect reporting some tasks that had not been updated
Bug fixed where the core team owner was not imported when importing a PreFresh report
Bug fixed where the Notes weren’t being imported when importing the PreFresh report
Macro-micro Roll-up
Activity Owner from and Notes now roll-up from Micro > Macro rather than Macro > Micro
Roll-up now leaves all micros open unless the roll-up is successful
Change Report now not generated by default
Fixed problem where a micro task was not started (sub-tasks updated as not started), but the rolled-up macro task was not rolled-up as not started
Fixed problem where -ve lags were not being calculated properly in the macro schedule
Fixed problem where a summary was being incorrectly reported as being without and end milestone when the last task was an external task
If an error was found rolling up, the micro files are left open (this saves having to re-open them again to fix the problem)
Inspector
Target dropdown now includes a health icon against each Target
Icon for the critical path to “Project” changed
CP Analysis
Can now set the default location to save the CP Analysis chart and works according to the following rules:
If a location is not set, the default Excel save location will be used
If a location is set, the location will be used and the file will automatically be saved in that location with a date stamp in the filename
CP Analysis & Actions.xltx renamed to CP Analysis and Actions.xltx to avoid problems with Sharepoint
Wigglechart
fastProject Options > Wigglechart now allows you to customer performance to schedule by using a custom absolute +/- weeks or a likelihood of hitting target metric (same was Wigglechart)
Hidden Wigglecharts are now not reported in the Dashboard
Update and Analyzer stats now not reported in the Dashboard
Analyzer
Improved “Fix all Targets” under the Target test dropdown
Removed ability to view and set Target and Wiggle milestone settings
Reporting
New REPORT tab added
Exec View now includes Completed tasks and Summary rows now hidden
