fastProject 4.11.3 Released

General

  • General UI improvements on the ribbon

  • Added a new “Remove hierarchy” function (under Tools > Breakdown) than removes the hierarchy (summary task and milestone) of the selected summary task. Typically used when a summary task only has one subtask which itself is a summary task.

  • Added Tidy Up to shortcut menu and moved Remove Constraint next to it

  • Added Copy Target Milestone to Wiggle as a sub-menu item in the right-click menu

  • Added from “Today” in the date difference calculator

  • Date format for exported TP/CP/DEL dates changed to dd-mmm-yyyy

  • Fixed problem where “Close all” would crash if the View was not a hierarchal view

Inspector

  • Selecting “Selected Task” under the Targets dropdown now displays the critical path to the selected task. The sub-menu option allows you to just select the selected task (as before).

  • Critical Path to the selected task added to the right-mouse click (context) menu on the table and the Gantt chart.

Update

  • If there are errors in the Lookahead Report after importing, the Lookahead Report is now displayed immediately after the import.

  • Bug fixed where a task being updated with a duration of >200 days was registered as being 0% complete

  • Bug fixed in the Effort Updater where the Actual, Remaining and Total hours weren’t being updated correctly in the “joint task and effort” updater was being use (turned out to be a Microsoft bug where the Exit function of a TextBox wasn’t invoked if the TextBox was embedded in a Frame).

Wigglechart

  • Formatting of Cause of Change fixed so all text is now wrapped

  • Now includes %Confidence on the label in both the Wigglechart and Dashboard version

  • Milestone name now displayed on the label

  • New format of the label in both the Wigglechart and Dashboard version

  • Fixed bug where “Cause of change” over 255 characters would not be plotted on the chart and would cause an error when generating the Wigglchart

  • Fixed bug where the check boxes for the last milestone weren’t displayed

  • Fixed border formatting problem in Dashboard

Analyzer

  • Extended Test for >10 subtasks removed

Build

  • Create/Import/Export Doneness criteria revamped

Reports

  • Added Task Name Filter label to Late Simulator report

  • Confidence Level

    • Added a “Setup Confidence Level Report” which shows/hides the Confidence Level column

    • Added a Show Confidence Level Assignments which shows only tasks with a confidence level assigned

    • When two confidence levels fall within the same month, the largest is taken

    • The outcome of a plotted experiment is now displayed on the last point plotted on the chart, and in the same color as its chart line

    • The report and chart title is now taken from the name of the custom column Text18, allowing the report to be more general purpose for anything that can be expressed as a percentage (named Confidence by default)

    • Confidence level now reported on Wigglechart and Dashboard chart

  • Targets Report

    • Added Confidence Level (see above) to the report

    • Added a “Targets Report (Concise)” that generates a subset of the full Targets Report information
