DASH-1513: What’s New Popup After a Dash360 Release
We have added a new feature in Dash360 that show a popup modal every time we do a new release in Dash360. Inside this modal, the user will see the most recent release notes. This modal will appear on every page until the user selects the “Mark as Read” checkbox at the bottom of the modal. Then, the modal will no longer appear until the next release of Dash360.
DASH-1728: Activity Ids Quality Check Report
We have added a new report in the Budget > Budget Reports area. This report allows the user to see all activities assigned to Resource Assignments in their project. If an Activity Id assigned to a Resource Assignment is no longer in the Schedule, then the Valid Activity column will be set to No. If it is valid, then this column will say Yes. This report is useful when your project needs to change the Activity IDs in your Schedule and you have already assigned Activity Ids to Resource Assignments.
DASH-1807: Export > Resource Assignments Calculations / Audit Report
A couple of releases back, we built a new Audit report that shows how Resource Assignments are calculated in Dash360. This special report is useful for the NSF and other auditors who need to see how calculations are done using Excel. In this release, we added many new columns such as the first 4 levels of the WBS, Work Package fields and the CAM. Then, we built a pivot table in the export that you can filter by cost class.
DASH-1834: Work Package Report CAM Filter / Make Export All Filter Aware
We have added a CAM filter to the Work Package Report. Now, when you select a CAM from this filter, the report will show you just the Work Packages assigned to this CAM. We also modified the Export All to Excel / PDF to only print those Work Package Reports that match the filters you select. You could use this feature to export all Work Package Reports for CAMs before a monthly review, for example.
Bug Fixes
DASH-1782: Cost Class Curves / Earned Value Curves Start Date & Finish Date Filters Throwing Errors
We have enhanced the Start and Finish Date filters in these two reports. Now when entering a date, you must click a Go button before the filter is applied. In the past, the filter tried to apply with every new character you entered from your keyboard causing errors.
DASH-1813: Risk Register: Filtering Risk Items Datagrid Should Also Filter Heatmaps
When on the Risk Register, the Heatmaps tables with red, yellow and green colors now update as you change the filters in the datagrid above it.
DASH-1822: Cost Class Curves > CAM Filter Showing Same CAM Multiple Times
On the Cost Class Curves report, the CAM filter is showing the same user multiple times in the dropdown. Each user should only appear once and has been corrected in this release.
DASH-1826: EV Curves Not Filtering BAC, EAC and VAC by CAM Filter
When selecting a CAM in the EV Curves, the BAC, EAC and VAC values do not honor the filter. In this release, that issue has been fixed.
DASH-1830: Export > Contingency Source Files Not Showing in Source File Filter
When trying to export out Contingency Source data, the export functionality would not allow you to select a file. We have fixed that with this release.
DASH-1832: Inactive Users Appearing in Budget Form > CAM Dropdown
In the Budget Form, there is a CAM field in the Details section. This dropdown used to show all users in it regardless of whether they are Active or Inactive users. With this release, we are now removing all Inactive users from this dropdown.
DASH-1839: Export Risk Register Needs to Treat Work Package Codes as a String
Some customer have Work Package Codes that look like numbers to Excel (Ex: 1.1 or 2.10). When Excel sees a number like that, it automatically converts the column to a number. Unfortunately, when Excel does this conversion, it actually turns codes like 2.10 into 2.100000000000009 or similar under the covers. The way to fix this in your import template is to always add an apostrophe in front of the value (Ex: '2.10). Then, Excel will treat this as a string. Formatting the column as a string and other such methods do NOT work. We have modified Dash360 so that when you export Risk Items, this column automatically has the apostrophe at the front of the cell to help prevent this error from occurring.
