[#53127] New Report:  “Timesheet Error Report – Parent”

It is often a time-consuming task for Project Managers to close Projects that are Child-Projects to a Parent Project because they may not have complete visibility from the parent level where time is still pending/not yet sent to Agresso.

Therefore, we have introduced a new report called ‘Timesheet Error Report – Parent’. The report is the same as the ‘Timesheet Status Report – Parent’ but excludes any successful timesheet entries.

This means it will only show Timesheet Records that need to be actioned before you can close the project.

This report is available to Project Managers & Operation users. Access the report from the Summary Actions menu.

Timesheet Error Report – Parent

[#52042] Replace various linked job blocks by unified “Associated Projects” in Project Passport

We have introduced a new Associated Projects section on the Project Passport, so a User can better understand if the current Project is related to other Projects via concepts like Parent Project, Main Job, Master Job, Campaign, Phantom Job, Finance Master etc.

This section replaces the following blocks with a new unified block:

  1. Parent / Child Projects
  2. Linked Projects
  3. Agency Project
  4. Linked Jobs
  5. Agency Job

FIXES

 

[#52779] Approve Own Time Override Config logic issue

Recently changes were made to the business rules for Users and the approval of their time. In cases where the ‘Can approve on time’ override was enabled, this caused a change in the visibility of the project time for Project Owners who are at the same time Supervisors.

Business Rules:

  1. Project Owner is responsible for Time Approval on Projects where they are set as the Project Owner.
    1. Unless Specified Time Approver is enabled for the office. Then it is them.
  2. Project Owner can’t approve their own time unless they have ‘Approve own time’ enabled.
  3. If ‘Approve own time’ is disabled, and they are the Project Owner on the project, the time is assigned to the user’s Supervisor to approve
  4. Supervisors are responsible for Time Approval on Non-Charge Projects
  5. An Operations user can approve any time unless it is their own time

 

[#53037] Bug: Hide the right-click menu from Pulse Planner

Hide the right-click menu from Pulse Planner.

 

[#53144] Brand Cat filter in Project list broken

Fix – In the Brand & Brand Category (Client Group) filter in the Job List users should see:

  1. Brands and Brand Categories mapped to their Primary Office if they have ‘Local Admin’ access
  2. Brands and Brand Categories mapped to their Secondary Office if they have ‘All Projects’ aka ‘Local Admin’ access
  3. Any brands mapped to them as a user (Edit User > Product Mapping).

 

[#50786] Design Bugs: Fix CSS issues across UI

Fix some minor CSS issues that need to be amended to bring the new Invoice Composer UI into line with existing standards.

 

[#51231] Hide the Files tab on Planned Projects

When trying to upload files to a planned project the upload fails and there is no feedback to the user. This is because there are no folders present in the newly created planned project.

We do not want to allow users to upload a file to a planned project because the project folders will be created for the project when the project is converted to a real project.

The fix for this was to hide the files tab on planned projects.

When viewing the task form from outside the Task List eg Inbox or Dashboard it was not showing the KPI icon.
