Updated

Added Package Actuals Data Source Definition

The Schedule configuration table enables companies to define a package’s actual progress and hours. How the calculation is made is determined by the Method (Tracking Status or Report Field). One use for the hours Method is to use a Report Field that extracts MCA hours. Once configured, the package data is calculated on the Package’s > Properties > Actual section.

Configure Package Actuals Data Source

1. To configure actual progress and hours, go to Admin > Company > Settings.

2. Phase - For each Package Phase (Office, Purchasing, Shop, Field), the Progress and Hours can be configured.

   1. Progress

      1. Tracking Status -

      2. Report Field -

   2. Hours labels include:

      1. Spent Hours - Defined by your company.

      2. Earned Hours - Defined by your company.

      3. Remaining Hours - Defined by your company.

      4. Custom - Enter your own label.

3. Method - The method of how the row will be calculated.

   1. Report Field - When the method is set to Report Field, a report field will be selected in the row’s Source column.

   2. Tracking Status - When the method is set to Tracking Status, the actual data will use the Phase percent configured for the package’s tracking status under Admin > Company > Tracking Statuses. that's considered Start, while End is when the package was in a Tracking status of 100% for that phase

4. Source - When Report Field is the method, a source (the report field) is selected.

Example - Progress set to Tracking Status

In this example, the following Phase percent complete values will be used.

1. The Progress Method for all Phases has been set to Tracking Status. As a result, the actual Progress ( % ) will use the Phase percent configured for the package’s tracking status under Admin > Company > Tracking Statuses.

   

2. In the Package’s > Properties > Actual section:

   1. A package has been created and the initial Can Package tracking status is Issued hich is 20% complete for the Office phase. No other phase has started so 0% displays.

      

   2. Once the package’s tracking status changes to Packaged, the Office Progress ( % ) changes to 60%. No other phase has started so 0% displays.

      

   3. When the package’s tracking status changes to Fabrication in Progress, Office is at 100%, Purchasing is at 100%, and Shop is at 20%.

      

Example - Hours Report Field

In this example, the following Phase percent complete values will be used.

1. Select a field that provides the hours for any given phase.

   

2. In the Package’s > Properties > Actual section the values, if any, will display.

   

Added Multi-select Drop-downs

Added the ability to some drop-downs to multi-select options.

Examples:

1. Filters

2. Assemblies > Dashboard > Packages - Allows for multi-select of packages to add to an assembly without the collapsing of the drop-down between every selection. To remove a package from the selected list, either click the item in the drop-down or click the x associated with the package name.

   

Container Updates

Manually Add Part to Container Contents and Remove it from the Drop-down List

1. In this example, the 4 highlighted parts will be added to the container by selecting each and clicking the Add part to container button.

   

2. After adding each part, the part is removed from the drop-down list.

   

3. By clicking the Remove button associated with any part, the part will be removed from the container Contents and available in the Part drop-down list.

   

STRATUS.Part.ContainerType Update

1. Add the STRATUS.Part.ContainerType field to a report will display the hierarchy of containers and parent containers in a semicolon-separated list.

   

Fixed Assemblies > Dashboard Tracking Status Updates

Fixed an issue on the Assemblies > Dashboard where updating the Tracking Status of (1) part that was attached to an assembly would update the parent assembly. With this change, the Tracking Status between parts and the parent assembly update correctly when changing/updating the tracking status:

1. When the assembly is updated to a new tracking status, all parts will update to match.

2. When (1) part attached to an assembly is updated, only that part’s tracking status will update.

3. When all parts attached to an assembly are updated, the assembly will update to match.

4. When the assembly and parts are in a tracking status like “Shipped”, then one or more parts are changed to a lower-numbered tracking status like “Issued for Fabrication”, then the assembly will update to reflect that lower tracking status “Issued for Fabrication”.

   

Fixed a Generate CSV Issue

Fixed a Generate CSV/Excel issue when in Packages > Items on a specific package, and the user switches from package A to package B, then clicks the “CSV” generation button, the generated data would be from package A. With this fix, when switching to package B, the page is refreshed so that the correct CSV file is generated.

Fixed Project Role Disabled Issue

Fixed an issue under Admin > Company > Project Roles where a Project Role became disabled after the “Project Admin” project role was selected under the Select Roles to Display dialog.

Fixed a Window Select Issue

Fixed an issue when using the Window Select tool in the Models Viewer that all parts were not selected, specifically gaskets and solder joints.

Fixed a Project Role Sort Issue with Tracking Statuses

Fixed an issue under Admin > Company > Project Roles > Tracking Statuses where the list did not sort alphanumerically.

Fixed an Issue Displaying Dates in Properties

Fixed an issue in the viewers' Properties panel displaying the STRATUS.Part.CreatedDT and STRATUS.Part.ModifiedDT. The issue below is fixed.

Researched Length Discrepancy STRATUS vs Revit

Researched a length discrepancy where STRATUS reports length as 4'-11" but the Revit length reports it as 4'-11 1/8".  Andy found that STRATUS directly reflects what Revit is reporting, however, Revit is displaying contradictory values compared to MAJ/FabReports within Revit. This issue has been logged with ADSK as a bug with Revit.
