In previous versions, entering planned hours in calendar periods in Project View or Resource View was slow because DPS needs to do calculations and update amounts as you work in the grid. All of those calculations were performed on the server, so the data had to travel to and from the server, delaying your ability to make your next entry.

 

In this release, this process has been streamlined to speed up entry of hours in calendar period columns on a work breakdown structure assignment row in Resource View or on a resource row in Project View. Calculation of calendar period values are now performed by the client software. DPS still sends data to the server, but does not wait for refreshed values to be returned from the server before allowing you to make your next entry. (This enhancement applies only when you are entering calendar period hours on an assignment row or a resource row. It does not apply when you are entering summary amounts to be allocated to calendar periods for an assignment.)

 

Be aware that the displayed assignment dates and plan dates could be temporarily incorrect if you enter hours for a calendar period outside of the current assignment date range for the row. If that occurs, the next refresh with data from the server will correct any invalid dates. All values and dates for an edited grid row are fully refreshed when any of the following occur:

• You switch to another grid row.

• You use the arrow icons in Project View to load another set of 50 calendar periods into the grid.

• You change the scale.

• You or another user checks in the current plan.

 

The following do not cause a full refresh, so any invalid dates will remain invalid after these actions:

• Selecting or saving grid settings.

• Expanding or collapsing grid rows.

Defect 1055268: This issue applied if you have user-defined hubs and you searched for records from a user-defined hub using a lookup in the DPS desktop application.

Defect 1023339: If your only activated module was CRM, the Information Category - Contacts list was not available on the Lists form (Settings » Labels and Lists » Lists), so you were unable to define the values that you wanted in that list.
