Improvements made to the timeline:

The timeline view has been improved to help visualize the portfolio's timeline better. The project critical chain bars are now thinner and are the color assigned to the project, while the stages are now easier to see in contrast to the critical chain as they are a different size, color, and state the stage names more clear. It is also possible to filter the timeline to see either only the stages, only the critical chain, or (the default) show both.

New function in reporting:

A new function is added in the reporting module to retrieve all tasks that are in the chain of a buffer. The function is GetTaskIsInBufferChain(ProjectID, TaskID, TaskID). An example of use to return the buffer LUID, buffer description, and a string of all (descriptions of) tasks in the bufferchain can be seen here:

SELECT

WHERE bf.IsBuffer = 'True'

New space feature: Autocomplete assignments:

A new feature has been added to the "Turn features on/off" in the Space Properties settings. This feature "Set status of a resource assignment to completed when last card is closed" does as described.

The default behavior of workpackages (task type) which contain cards is that once the last card is closed, the workpackage (task) status is set to completed, and so is the resource requirement's status.

There are now two features to control this behavior, one to control if the task status is automatically set to completed (this is an old setting), and the other is to control if the resource requirement's status is set to completed (this is the new setting).

Improvements:

• Improvements have been made to the debuffered mode including updated debuffered behavior and removing the buffer bars completely.
• Tasks with zero duration used to have an empty field for the task duration. Now it's stated "0 days".
• The size of the workpackage is now stated in the cards view under the workpackage's details.

•  Debuffered values for the resource hours and the remaining hors are now added to the project statistics tab.

Fixes:

• Issue with adjusting employee number in TameFlow cards has been resolved.
• Issue with release wizard has been resolved.
• The buffer bar no longer shows in the debuffered mode and the ignore resource contentions mode.
• In the tasks lists (My Activities and Active Tasks views) the column showing c/m now shows arrows with cm to indicate that the task is on a milestone buffer chain, in addition to c to indicate the task is on the critical chain.
• Issue with removing and updating the budget lines is now fixed.
• An issue with importing not showing the correct task dependencies, resource requirements and task priorities is now fixed.
• An error occurred when trying to save stages to a project when the budget module isn't activated. This is now fixed.
• Issue with feeding buffers giving errors when the project is set to re-scheduling based on current plan is fixed.
