When creating new planning objects or portfolios, the name field in which the name of the planning object can be entered is now focused after you open the core data modules of the respective objects (project, proposal, idea, program, portfolio) since this is usually the first step in the creation of a new planning object.

26315

The preset default period for the display of the data in the My Activities module has been extended.


17302The message which was displayed when attempting to delete records which contain posting records has been extended and a link to the corresponding description in the Online Help was added.

PM Administration
26251An option has been implemented to import persons from an active directory to PLANTA via LDAP technology and to preset some parameters with default values. For further information, please see here
26270

Layout and handling of the Threshold Values module have been improved. 


26288

Load Startup Modules has been renamed Change Startup Modules.


26513

In the Resource Structure and Resource Data Sheet modules a traffic light has been implemented on the Resource structure code field which turns to yellow as soon as the resource structure code does not represent the position of the resource in the structure.


26504

If the resource structure code of a resource is changed, a message is displayed which indicates that the access to the resource is to be checked and adjusted in the Users module.


26491

In the Users module the structure code of the respective resources is now displayed per user. It serves to adjust the structure code which is used when setting the access rights of the users on resources since both values must correlate. A traffic light is implemented on the new field which turns yellow in case there is a difference between the entered values. For further information on setting access rights, see Rights Management.


Hybrid pulse/Jira
26268

In the Schedule module, it is now signalized by specifying 0/0 on the respective tasks that they have already been synchronized even if there are no cards for this task in the corresponding pulse boards yet.


Bug Fixes

KeyDescriptionFrom Server/Client
General
26306

The error message regarding automatic numbers is no longer displayed during login.


24868

The client no longer crashes when data field information is opened (CRTL + F1) without focusing the data field. A message is displayed which informs the user that no data field has been focused.


26546

The search for projects with Go to function (CTRL + G) is no longer case sensitive.


Time Recording



Project
26372 The problem that it was possible to delete the released status reports in the Completed module variant has been resolved.     
26258

The newly recorded or changed remaining effort values below the scale in the Schedule module are now refreshed directly after the schedule has been saved or calculated.     


26358The newly created status reports now receive status "created" again instead of "in process".
26353Released status reports now no longer have status "Last released" but "Released final report".
26278The problem that the name of a created but not yet released status report could not be changed since the name field was at "Output" has been resolved.
26209The cause of the error message which was displayed when clicking on the Generate resource requests button multiple times while switching to other modules of the panel and back has been eliminated.
26272The problem which caused that a project could not be deleted (due to a Python error message) although the portfolio in which it was used had been deleted has been resolved.
26276The cause of the error message which was displayed when clicking on the Risk Trend Analysis and Opportunity Trend Analysis link in the Info Board module has been eliminated.
26257

The problem with the rounding of remaining effort values below the scale has been resolved. The differences between the rounded remaining effort below the scale and the total remaining effort value (in window 2) may still occur under particular planning constellations since here the cause is the distribution of the values per grid below the scale. See also the "Legend resource" in the Schedule module.


26259

The incorrect Deletion not allowed in this data area error message which occurred when attempting to delete resource assignments with remaining or actual data has been corrected.


26410

The cause of the error message which was displayed when attempting to post costs or revenues for a newly inserted but unsaved cost/revenue resource via the context menu in the Schedule module has been eliminated.


26230    

The problem that PPT export from PLANTA project modules did not work in certain constellations has been fixed.


Portfolio
26217If no other yearly tranches are available for selection in the Budget module, now the correct message is displayed: No data available for the assignment.
PM Administration
26502For security reasons, no empty user password is generated automatically anymore when a new user is created in PLANTA project. Instead, no password is generated at all. The administrator must immediately generate a temporary password in order for the user to be able to log on. PLANTA expressly recommends to use one of the proposed security concepts here.
26187When you create a new resource in the Resource Data Sheet module it is no longer saved automatically as soon as you have selected the rsource type.
26457

When you attempt to enter a system variable which does not contain a date in the No status report since field in the Check Status Report Creation and Project Applications module, input is denied since this field only accepts date values or variables which contain a date.


Hybrid pulse/Jira
26533The cause of the error message which was displayed when attempting to click on the Number of pending/all cards link on a task of the subproject in the schedule of a main project has been eliminated.
26213If the epic assignee is changed via the edit button, it is now also correctly synchronized back to PLANATA project. A new resource assignment is created on the corresponding task.
