fastProject 4.10.6 Released
/General
Speed improvements with “Link to last task” and “Link from first task”
Bug fixed where bringing up a form would cause fastProject to crash if the screen resolution was different than expected
Tools
If a Wiggle milestone is selected, the Cause of Delay will be added to that milestone, otherwise the milestone selected in the Inspector is used
Modified Add/Update Prefix so if not on the “Name” field, will fill down the content of that field
Touchpoints/Checkpoints/Deliverables
Export now includes milestone completion status
Import now":
Completes the milestone if it has been marked completed in the export report (previously completed milestones are skipped)
Un-completes the milestone (if previously completed) if marked not completed in the export report
Added ability to determine the number of dependencies between two selected groups without showing them (does not destroy the view).
Breakdown now includes the option to copy the costs to the subtasks. This works like the duration, by dividing the cost of the task you are breaking down by the number of subtasks, adjusting the cost in the last subtask to ensure the original cost is maintained.
Bug fixed where a rolled-up Touchpoint would be converted to a rolled-down Touchpoint if the date was changed
Bug fixed where a Target couldn’t be inserted if the previous task was a sub-project
Bug fixed when changing from a 5-to-7 day calendar + better reporting of which lags need to be manually adjusted
Analyzer
Bug fixed where the “Skips End Milestone” would fail if the last task of the summary was an external task
Update
Added Update Task Progress and Effort for an individual task
Update task as not started added to right-click context menu as an option when updating a task
Improved speed of import
Added a progress update for the import
Fix updated task added to right-click context menu as an option when updating a task
Fixed problem where after doing a “Last Update Info”, the user was promoted if they want to set the current date to the last update date, even if the last update date was today.
Fixed problem when importing a PreFresh report, when a task in the report was not in the schedule
Inspector
Simplified “Change” button - removed all baselines in the dropdown (now accessed via the Scroll through task history if needed)
Clicking the “Change” button now invokes the “Cause of change”
Fixed problem when selecting “Selected Task” from the Targets dropdown, where if the user navigated away from the selected task and click the critical path button, it would display the critical path to the new selected task rather than the one selected through the Target dropdown
Cause of Change defaults to the milestone selected in the Inspector (vs. having to select it first)
Macro-Micro Roll-up
New, more robust updated version:
Faster roll-ups
Handles sub-projects, including determining the correct macro-dependencies and lags when between sub-projects
More comprehensive error-checking
Micro-schedules are now left open after verification to either
Allow for debugging and
Improved performance performing the roll-up/down (don’t have to re-open them)
Added an extra check if trying to roll-up or roll-down a sub-project
Notes of a roll-up task now not rolled up from the micro to the macro
Bug fixed where the date constraint of a Touchpoint, Checkpoint or Deliverable would be used as the update date, causing problems if the date was in the future
Bug fixed where an incorrect start date or a macro task from a rolled-up micro task would occur of the Target date was before the start date of the task
Bug fixed where dates weren’t lined up if a dependency in the micro schedule had a negative lag
Bug fixed where for a micro schedule with sub-projects, if roll-up tasks in two different sub-projects had the same Task ID, the wrong task would have been used, producing an incorrect roll-up
Bug fixed when rolling down to a roll-down milestone in a micro schedule
Bug fixed which caused the Change Report to crash
Report
Bug fixed where running the 3-on-1 Wigglechart after running the Wigglechart would caused fastProject to crash
