Enhancements


API

Expose Accounting Company Configuration API Endpoints

Use the new Accounting Company Configuration API endpoints to retrieve and update data in the Accounts form. These API endpoints honor existing validations and restrictions as well as security requirements at the application level.


Cloud ODBC Changes

Updates to the Users Form

This change applies for cloud customers who have the Flex Cloud ODBC Connectivity module activated.

In Settings » Security » Users, in the Cloud ODBC Settings section of the Users form, the Password field has been removed. As a cloud administrator, you see this change when you configure your company's cloud users with ODBC access. Now when you select the Enable Cloud ODBC Connectivity checkbox in the Cloud ODBC Settings section, only the Email field is enabled and required.

Removal of the ODBC Password field in the Users application does not affect your ODBC credentials. The Password field has been removed because Deltek now manages the password for the ODBC service. If you need to change your ODBC password, contact Deltek Support directly.


Smart Summary

Updated the Smart Summary Tooltips

The client Smart Summary tooltips [image] were updated in the following locations: Hubs » Firms and Settings » General » Options.


Software Issues Resolved

Vision to Vantagepoint Upgrade

Defect 2026994: When you upgraded to Vantagepoint from Vision, a “Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint” error displayed in the error log if the upgrade encountered a project plan where an expense, consultant, or unit assignment was on a WBS level and that same WBS level had planned labor codes under it on the Labor tab. After you encountered the error, no more project plans were upgraded even if the plans didn’t have the same condition.
