There’s lots to celebrate in this release, we followed through on quite a few customer requests! There are new columns in Timesheet Export, Portfolio and Package views now include Rate Sheets, and there’s more visibility around scope and filtering on Dashboards. Uploading and managing Files is the biggest feature we’re delivering this month.

NEW! Upload Files 

You can upload files to any Package, Project, Sub-Folder or Task by going to the Files tab on the item’s edit panel. Drag & Drop up 10 files at a time or Browse to select them from your device. File types aren’t restricted, so you can include everything you need. Read more here.

Timesheet Export now includes scheduled hours

Timesheet Export makes it possible to analyze hours based on costs, data fields, people and groups, plan items and so on. Timesheet Export is located under People in the left side navigation. It’s a premium feature on the Professional and Ultimate Plans. Customers asked us to add columns for scheduled hours to help with forecasting. We loved the idea and jumped on it right away!

NEW: Columns for scheduled hours and related data including costs and billing.

NEW: Export schedule columns via API.

Rate Sheets in Portfolio and Package Views

Rate Sheets are located under Administration in the left-side navigation. Org Admins and Workspace Managers customize Rate Sheets to establish billing rules. Once the Rate Sheet is associated with a project, rates are applied when people log progress on tasks in the project. Rate Sheets are a premium feature on the Professional and Ultimate Plans. In this release we made it easier to see which Rate Sheets are associated with projects and make changes if needed.

NEW: Rate Sheet columns added to Portfolio and Package Priority Views, Grid Views set to Projects, and Project List Widgets on Dashboards.

NEW: Rate Sheet column add to the bulk editor. When editing projects in the Bulk Editor, the Rate Sheet associated with a project can be viewed by members with Project Editor access and edited Project Managers and above.
