If there are individual charts in your system, you must also convert them using the PLANTA Chart Customizer. If you have any questions, contact your PLANTA consultant. | |
| 27221 | Information on the validity of the license file and the PLANTA secure component has been added to the License level field in the system information (CTRL+B). | |
| Time Recording | ||
| 25013 | In the Time Recording module, adding additional tasks to already selected and displayed projects has been facilitated. You can now add additional tasks via the context menu. | , |
| 27309 | A new time-controlled event Notification function for missing postings was implemented. If this is activated, postings for the working days of the previous week are checked every Monday. If the working hours are exceeded by the presence time, the person concerned is informed by e-mail or, if activated, via adaptive cards. For further information, please click here.

| Portfolio | ||
| 27210 | When zooming in to the bar scale in the Simulation module, weeks and days no longer become invisible. | |
| 27154 | Effort outside the simulation period is no longer hidden, but is retained and highlighted with a traffic light. This way, effort can be identified and redistributed more quickly. The traffic light is also implemented on the Simulation: start and Simulation: end fields and turns red as soon as effort outside the simulation period incur as a result of moving the project. | |
| 27076 | Now projects without a schedule (Gantt) can also be assigned to a portfolio. | |
| Project | ||
| 26956 | In the Risks/Opportunities module of the programs, links to risk and opportunity trend analysis modules were added. | |
| 27308 | Users without multi-project manager rights who have created new ideas, can now delete them as well. | |
| 27271 | In the Utilization module, links to the Utilization with cause module are implemented on the resources in order to see the scheduling of the respective resource in the projects, as well as activities on the timeline as a date bar. | |
| 27273 | In the Status and Status Report project modules, the project image is now displayed. | |
| 27364 | In the Status and Status Report program modules, the program image is now displayed. | |
| 27298 | If, during the creation of a new project, no default image is found in Global Settings, a message will be displayed indicating this and the project will be created without image. | |
27127 27149 | For project managers, an option was implemented which allows you to manage all requests submitted by you across all of your projects in the My Resource Requests module. | |
| 27328 | A new time-controlled event Notification function for missing status report has been implemented. If this is activated, the system checks whether all projects in the current month have a released status report. For projects without a status report, the project manager is informed by e-mail or, if activated, via adaptive cards. For further information, please click here. | |
| PM Administration | ||
| 27222 | The time-controlled Nocturnal replanning event now also calculates costs, budget, and portfolios. | |

Hybrid pulse/Jira | ||
| 27158 | The connection of PLANTA project to Jira Cloud with Oauth integration has been implemented. | |
| 27184 | When posting hours via pulse or Jira in a hybrid system, the cost element of the corresponding resource assignment in project is now taken into account and not the default cost element of the resource. | |
| 27082 | Display of the pulse statistics (number of pending/all pulse cardsof the user) also for synchronized tasks in the My Activities module. Via the link on the number you switch to the corresponding pulse board. | |
