Copy Logged Time in Weekly Timesheets
- Now, when copying activities from the previous week, users have the option to include not only the activities but also the logged time. On a new week, select the option to copy logged time along with activities when copying from the previous week. As a result, the same activities with the same logged time will appear on your current week’s timesheet. This means that if your time logs tend to look similar week after week, this update will save you time and effort.
April 10, 2024
Changed Workload Color in Group by Job Role
- We’ve implemented a color update for Unnamed resources workload in the Job roles grouping in Planning. Previously, if unnamed resources were potentially overloaded, their workload displayed in gray color, even when it exceeded the threshold. To enhance visibility and alert resource managers, we’ve changed the color from gray to red. This change will make it more obvious when unnamed resources are facing workload challenges.
April 9, 2024

April 3, 2024

March 27, 2024
Resource Requests for Unnamed Resources
- This update comes in response to valuable feedback from our customers, and we’re thrilled to provide this enhancement to improve your experience. When creating an allocation for an unnamed resource, it is generated as a soft allocation with a “Waiting for approval” status indicated by a large yellow circle. If the allocation for an unnamed resource is rejected, its status changes to “Rejected” with a red circle, while remaining as a soft allocation. Upon approval of the allocation for an unnamed resource, an approver must select a real user to replace the unnamed resource. The allocation is then transferred to the real user with an “Approved” status, represented by a large green circle, transitioning into a hard allocation. We believe this feature will streamline your resource management process and provide greater flexibility in resource allocation.
March 25, 2024

Mandatory Spaces Field for New Users
- In today’s minor release update, we’re making a small but significant change. Now, when inviting a new user to the account, the “Spaces” field is required.

February 27, 2024
Improved Space Creation Process
- In response to valuable feedback from our customers, we’ve enhanced the space creation process. Previously, all users had the ability to create new spaces upon release.

October 3, 2023
Improved Tracking of “Hours Left” Field Changes
- We’ve made significant enhancements to how we track changes in the “Hours left” field for activities and projects.

This eliminates the need to manually navigate to Activity Center > Sort, streamlining the process and saving you time.
August 10, 2023

August 4, 2023
Improved Dependency Control
- Users can now create more than 5 dependencies using this control, and tabs within it are scrollable via arrow buttons.

This improvement ensures smoother creation and navigation of dependencies, enhancing your overall workflow.
August 1, 2023

ETC Expenses Calculation Update
- We have implemented a new calculation for Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) Expenses, which now equals Planned Expenses minus Actual Expenses, or zero if the result is less than or equal to zero. Please note the following changes in related metrics:
ETC Billable Expenses: Billable Planned Expenses minus Billable Actual Expenses.
ETC Not Billable Expenses: ETC Expenses minus ETC Billable Expenses.
- For projects and parent tasks, ETC Expenses are now the sum of ETC Expenses of their child tasks rather than the sum of Planned Expenses minus Actual Expenses of all child tasks. Similarly, Billable Expenses and Not Billable Expenses follow this new calculation logic. While ETC Not Billable Expenses may yield unexpected results at times, we are considering a future change to calculate it as Planned Not Billable Expenses minus Actual Not Billable Expenses. Please refer to the updated help section for detailed information on the changes.
July 18, 2023
Internal Hourly Rate for Job Roles
