Application

Features

• The layout design of PLANTA project (colors, symbols, icons, backgrounds, 3D-effects, etc.) has been changed. #22660 #22438 #22437 #22680
• In the course of general design changes, the design of the menu item symbols have been changed, some of the menus were resorted, non-required menu items were removed, or menu items were renamed. Read more ... #22804 #22757 #22721
  • The Capacity scheduling and Unload menu items have been renamed Calculate schedule and Unload schedule and all dialog messages, text constants and data fields have been adjusted in accordance with these name changes. #22435
• The "Copy marked" function for the assignment of objects (e.g. stakeholder to projects) via dialog modules has been standardized system wide. Now assignment objects are now selected via a checkbox in the selecion dialog modules and subsequently copied to the source module by clicking on the respective button. E.g. Assign Stakeholders to Planning Object #14469 #22729
• The code of the persons (resources, managers, stakeholders, etc.) has been hidden in the user modules system wide (except the master data modules). #22436
  • Due to the changes mentioned above, the renaming of the master data object fields (for resources, users, cost types, etc.) was adjusted in the master data modules insofar as the ID fields now have the prefix ID in their headings and the name fields no longer contain a name prefix. E.g. resource ID = R41, resource = Daniela Hart
• In the Program Applications module, the Project status reports area has been added, in which the assignments of the program to portfolios are displayed and can be maintained. #21415
• It is no longer possible to create requested start and end dates by clicking in the scale area. However, moving remains possible on task level. Read more ... #22445
• The Resource ID Change module has been renamed Change Person ID. #22631

Bug fixes

• The performance of budget functions and modules after the update of DB versions < DB 39.5.0 to the latest DB version has been improved. #22611
• The split of the records exported from PLANTA project to PowerPoint (e.g. milestone records) per page now works correctly (there are no more overlappings with the footer). #20747
• The export of cost type group records to PowerPoint now works correctly. Now, all cost type group records (also newly created ones) are exported completely. #22787
• The incorrect behavior during PPT export, which occurred when several users tried to carry out a PPT export simultaneously, has been corrected. If a PPT export is carried out by a user, each further user who tries to export at the same time is informed by a message that the PPT template is currently used and the export is to be restarted.
• A problem has been resolved due to which loads which were exported in another session could still be changed. #22373
• The cause of a Python error message which occurred during the creation of working hours in the Reporting Hours Worked when using MSSQL has been eliminated. #22743
• In the Work Reporting module, the locked projects and tasks are no longer displayed. #22789
• The problem in the Simulations module, that despite selection of a status report for a planning object which was newly added to the portfolio the The following projects do not have a valid report assignment message was displayed, has been resolved. #22687
• In the Risks/Opportunities (Projects, Proposals, Ideas) and Risks/Opportunities (Programs) modules, listboxes have now been implemented on the Damage extent, Gross profit level, and Probability of occurrence fields in the By category and By priority variants. #20036
• The check of the user rights for deletion or changing of an ID of the planning objects works correctly again. #22653
• An error due to which empty yearly tranches were not deleted entirely by the budget scheduling has been resolved #22588
• Fields for numbers with decimal places are now listed correctly in the generated PLANTA weblink documentation.#22769
• Users who have no customizing rights but rights to archive the projects, are now allowed to fetch them from the archive. #22587
• The cause of the Python error message which occurred in the Cost Posting and Revenues Posting modules when trying to post costs or revenues has been eliminated. #22638
• The Python error message which occurred when you tried to open the Resource Data Sheet module of a resource again while it was already being opened has been resolved. #22658
• After detaching the Subprojects module from the structure, it is now updated correctly. #21749
• In the Resource Data Sheet module, the following behavior has been corrected: If the up to field was filled first and you tried to jump to the from field afterwards, an alert was displayed, informing you that both fields must be within the calendar, although the date entered in the up to field was within the calendar. Now the filling order is of no importance as long as the date entries are in line with the calendar. #22320
• The cause of the Python error message which was displayed when attempting to delete a project the cost center of which did not lie within the access area of the user, has been eliminated. #21564
• The display of the scale in the cost and effort trend analysis graphics in the Info Board and Status Report modules has been extended. Now the scale goes as far as the planning data of the project (previously only up to the end of the current year). #22470
