The new project wizard in the Navigator now has a Finish button on each step. This allows you to quickly start a new project without having to go thru all five wizard screens.

When printing the WalkThruAvery5263 report, the location field and manufacturer fields sometimes contained more information than fits. These fields have been expanded.

In some cases work order data was being lost when a project was checked in. This has been corrected.

When a project was closed the Navigator list was refreshed. This was taking some time on with a large number of local projects. Now only the project row that was edited is refreshed.

In some cases data was being updated even if the user closes a project without saving changes. This has been corrected.


533: Component IDs in Visio drawing no longer match those in the data matrix

582: Descriptions in PO report is Truncated
The description for products in a "Management\PO by manufacturer" report is limited to two lines of text. This is true for the "Page Wise" PO report under Management as well. These have been modified to show the full description of the items in the PO.

Some Middle Atlantic shapes were not being automatically dropped when used as accessories. This has been corrected.


416: Phase rates and tax rates Zeroed out in a project
Some project information was lost if a network connection lost during a check-in operation. Now if the network connection is lost during a check-in all project information on the server is rolled back to its previous state and changes are preserved locally.


613: Category Change Issue
If you change a product's category and it is attached to another product as a accessory it did not change and still showed the original category which causes error when adding the parent product into a project. This has been corrected.


599: Project hours in PDM don’t match reports
In some cases labor items in a package with "Ignore Labor" checked and "Use the labor cost and selling price based on phase" checked did not calculate Design and Mgt hrs in reports and include the costs in the report totals. This has been corrected.

Some project information was lost if a network connection lost during a save operation. Now if the network connection is lost during a save all project information is rolled back to its previous state.

653: Crystal Lists Item Multiple Times When Grouped By Category
The Line Item List Price and Line Item Installed Price reports were showing duplicate items when the project included a parent product with accessories and parent product had accessories summarized and the report was grouped by category. This has been corrected.

529: Discontinued Problem when Dropping Shape
When adding an item to a project there is now a column in the item list that displays a red "X" icon to indicate that an item is discontinued.


617: Insert system Issue
When using Insert System to import Project Information the client name was changed. This caused an issue when archiving the project. This has been corrected.
