fastProject 4.11.6 Released
/General
Cleaned up button names on the Toolbar (thanks Marianne!)
Added additional task name fixes to Tidy Up (also performed when the Analyzer is run)
Added ability to expand just a single summary task (only available on the right-mouse click menu) called “Expand Selected Summary Task”, with the option to hide completed tasks
Added additional verbs
Name Last Milestone now available when the entire row is selected
Added “Show Summaries On Selected Tasks Only” that shows the summary bars, only in the selected tasks.
Updated documentation
Bug fixed where fastProject would crash if an Action was added on a task with no notes, no changes were made and notes were exited
Bug fixed where selecting to update Touchpoints, Checkpoints or Deliverables only would update all of three types, regardless of which was selected.
Bug fixed in fastProject Options where the Resources tab was hidden.
Refresh
Resurrected “Convert to Micro” which converts the selected Summary task to a micro schedule. Improvements made to minimize the amount of “fixing” needed to after conversion.
Does not automatically add a Cause of Change after an update if one already exists (this occurred if, e.g. a schedule wast updated more than one on the same day)
Now displays a more friendly error message when attempting to open an Update Report that does now not exist, because it’s either been moved or deleted
Review Targets now invoked, even if no tasks are updated, i.e. if after an Update Report is imported and no other tasks need to be updated.
Added “Show tasks not updated today” under the Update Progress and Import Updates dropdowns
Analyzer
Fixed bug setting Effort Driven to No if Task Type was Fixed Work
Fixed bug where if a Target milestone was no 0 days, running the Target Errors test would cause fastProject to crash.
Inspector
Added a check box in Review Targets so when changing the Target the critical path is automatically displayed. This is checked by default.
FTTM Dashboard
Upgraded the Dashboard so it can now handle up to 200 Targets (from 50)
Can now import Wigglecharts from Sharepoint
Minor formatting improvements
Fixed bug where selecting an import file would position the cursor at the end of the Import File box, thereby hiding the import file selected.
Documentation
Updated FTTM Self Paced Tutorial & Reference Guide which is more comprehensive than the previous version and contains most of the current thinking.
Added Resources guide
fastROI
Fixed template where the y-axis on the Sensitivity Analysis chart was labeled 1-5 rather than Time, ASP, etc. It is important that the chart stays visible when exiting the file, otherwise you will have to manually reset the labels.
