fastProject 4.10.5 Released
/General
Fixed screen “flashing” when breaking dow a task
Exporting Actions now fits the row to the notes
Add Action removed from toolbar
Fixed bug when changing the duration of a summary task would leave the user in edit mode and then unable to click any other field
Fixed problem where the fastProject ribbon could disappear under certain circumstances when using subprojects
Scenarios
New function (Beta) of Scenarios which allows scenarios to be built based on either different dates (using e.g. Touchpoints) or Activating/Inactivating tasks.
Analyzer
Problem fixed where a problem was detected with the Target date when an External task was linked to the Wiggle milestone, thereby inserting itself between the Target and the Wiggle milestone and therefore indicating the previous task was not a Target. This scenario is in fact legitimate and the Analyzer now correctly recognizes this scenario.
Refresh
PreFresh Report - by using Generate PreFresh Report By…, the user now has the option to:
Generate the report by All Tasks, Core Team Member, Activity Owner or Function
Include a pdf of the Gantt chart of the above selection, looking out ~60 working days
Problem fixed where re-running the Wigglechart on the same day would not update the Pull-in/Slip value
Critical Path Analysis
New function (under CP Analysis dropdown)allows the user to add:
A pdf of the remaining tasks to the selected target and
A screenshot of the Wigglechart to the selected target
The user can select either using Critical Path Analysis Advanced
Actions taken on a task using the Add Action are now automatically exported to the CP Analysis chart. Only the first 3 actions are recorded, the remaining ones can be exported using the Add Action > Show/Export Actions (Dare Range). Note that this is in Beta, so feedback welcome.
Updated CP Analysis chart to make it clearer where to add the actions + general format changes so the space occupied up the the Target date is shrunk, allowing the chart to more easily fit on a slide in a report
New function “Add Cause Of Change” - only available under the right-mouse click menu and on a Gantt bar - to add the cause of a change to the notes of a Wiggle milestone after an update. Notes with the current date are exported to the Wigglechart when run on the same day.
