  • Pick Ticket Set Source/Destination - Added a right-click option to Set Source and Set Destination so you can highlight and change the value for multiple rows at once.

  • Timeclock Folder - Modified the desktop Timeclock app to convert Project folder paths that start with %USERPROFILE%.

  • Timeclock Note - The desktop timeclock lets you enter a note prior to clocking so you don’t need to go to the summary to enter it.

  • New Reporting Functions - See the following link https://crowsnest.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CNHELP/pages/1353547783

  • Fix: Clock In Error - Clocking in for the very first time for new employees was throwing an error after a recent release.

  • Fix: Adding New Employees - In some circumstances, adding a new employee threw an error, but didn’t prevent adding the new employee.

    • UDC Columns - Added functionality to add User Defined Columns. See Settings with Names starting with ‘ProjectColorUDC’

    • Added ability to select more than one Color/Part when adding new records

  • Address Field Aliases - Added settings to change the titles for the address fields. Search for the settings on the All tab in Options. The setting names all start with ‘ColumnAlias_Address_’

  • Pricing History - Added a shortcut to the Purchasing dropdown menu to open the Pricing History window. Added a second view on the Pricing History window to view Project Pricing records instead of PO Items.

  • Employee Labor - Added a new computed field name Date to the Employee_Labor table and a new Inline Table Function named udf_LaborDetail to speed up the loading of the Timeclock form.

  • Project MR Filter - Modified the filters at the top of the MR list. MRs with no line items will always show in the list. Others will be included based on the enabled filters using the following logic.

    • Show Submitted - include MRs in the list where all line items are submitted

    • Show Unsubmitted - include MRs in the list where all line items are not submitted

    • Show Partial - include MRs in the list where some items are not submitted

  • New Employee Permissions

    • Can Edit License Seats - Off by Default - Only users with this permission turned on can right-click on the View License Seats Used window and affect the licenses.

  • PO Summary - Added another filter option for ‘All’ to load a list of all POs in database in one list

  • Dashboard App - Modified the error handling so errors are logged in the Crows Nest Application Event Log and the timer will restart and attempt to run the report again after the set interval period.

  • Change Order to Phase Budget - When linking a Change Order to a Phase, the user will receive a prompt asking if the Budget records for the Change Order should be linked to the Phase. To remove the prompt so it links without asking the user, change the setting named “Budget_ChangeOrderToPhase_Prompt” to False. To enable/disable this behavior change the setting named “Budget_ChangeOrderToPhase_Disable” to True or False. It is disabled by default.

  • Drawing to Phase Budget - When linking a Drawing to a Phase, the user will receive a prompt asking if the Budget records for the Drawing should be linked to the Phase (and vice-versa depending on the situation). To remove the prompt so it links without asking the user, change the setting named “Budget_DrawingToPhase_Prompt” to False. To enable/disable this behavior change the setting named “Budget_DrawingToPhase_Disable” to True or False. It is disabled by default.
