General

NEW FEATURE: You can now Breakdown a task using the tasks that were stored in the notes from an “Undo breakdown”. If you want to roll-up a task’s subtasks back into a single task and copy the tasks into the notes, then one can perform an “Undo breakdown”. In the past, this simply stored the tasks in the notes. However, this has been recently expanded such that if you breakdown a task that has previously had a “Undo breakdown” performed, then it will take those tasks and recreate the WBS. Points to note:
- It only works on “Undo breakdowns” performed using this release of the software
- You cannot edit the notes when breaking down (do not manually edit the WBS in the notes)
- If a started task was “Unbroken”, when it’s broken down, the first task is used to adjust the %complete
- Includes Targets, Touchpoints, Checkpoints and Deliverables and their dates
Can now select multiple columns to fill down a custom column using the Add/Update Prefix function
Added “Copy Wiggle Name to Target” to the context (right-mouse click) menu
Added “Remove All Duplicate Dependencies” under the Remove Date Constant function under Tools
Converted the dates in the Inspector and Target Review to a standard dd-mmm-yyyy format to avoid ambiguity between different country formats
Added the Organizer to the Tools tab
Problem exporting to Notepad fixed

Build

New method added to create a schedule by importing Doneness criteria:
- Available via Tools > Build > Import Doneness Criteria
- Submenu to Import provides three additional functions: Create, View and Export
- When creating, allows the user to define a Category to classify the intermediate milestones
Bug fixed where fastBuild would crash on export if the user navigated away from the fastBuild entry form

Can now select multiple owners when updating by Activity Owner (or any other selected text field)
Task’s notes added as an option to get exported
Fixed problem where the number of tasks to be updated was calculated incorrectly
Fixed problem where the Last Update Info didn’t report the last update date & stats if there were no active tasks
Bug fixed where updating a milestone to be 100% complete would cause the Update to crash
Bug fixed where doing an update could cause the Num Lock key to be set on a PC keyboard
Bug fixed when importing an Update Report would crash if a task name had been modified with a new line added
Bug fixed when importing an Update Report where a non-started task with a date in the Remaining Duration column was interpreted as a duration, thereby updating the task with a ridiculously long duration!

Date Wigglechart was last run now under Refresh > Wigglechart > Last Wigglechart Run Info
Problem fixed where the Wigglechart could crash when generating the Dashboard if a Wigglchart had been hidden since the last update.

Fixed problem when performing a Critical Path Analysis (All Targets). When the total number of critical paths exceeded 50, it was possible to get a “Merge Cell” prompt, and the Critical Paths would be incorrect.
Fixed problem where performing a Critical Path Analysis (All Targets) when there were no Targets in the schedule would cause an Excel exception error.

Skips End Milestone test now ignores tasks without successors (as these will be caught by te Dependencies test), so the test truly only tests for tasks that have a successor but do not have path to the end milestone
Activity Owner names are timed of leading and trailing spaces automatically
Added an option in fastProject Options to not save the Analyzer before running
Added a check for the Project Calendar (must be set to Standard”)
Updated collateral to support the new Analyzer:
- S-Phone Bad.mpt for training
- Updated slides
Updated icons to be better aligned with test
Fixed bug where a summary task was not detected by the Skips End Milestone test if it’s finish date was earlier than its group’s end milestone
Fixed bug where the Analyzer would crash if in the Resource Pool view
Fixed bug where a Target was not auto-completed if the Wiggle milestone was completed
Fixed bug where a task with a date constraint in the future was not flagged if it was a Roll-up task
Fixed bug where the Analyzer button did not state “Run Analyzer” after a reset
Fixed bug which would cause the Analyzer to crash when checking for problems with the Target/Wiggle milestones
Fixed problem where a Wiggle milestone was the first task in the schedule. Running the “Fix Targets” would cause it to crash.

Fixed problem with Find Duplicate Task Names not working
Removed create macro and create micro, and moved Find duplicate task names to under Roll-up

Consolidated Mark, Unmark and View Resource Dependent into a single split button
