March 2021 Release Notes

25th March Patch Release

Every Fluid update contains improvements and fixes. We’re also regularly adding features that have been requested by Fluid users. The improvements released in this new version are based on client feedback. 

IMPROVEMENT: Add an executive summary update to your status reports

• Status reports are used to provide a status update of your projects to your sponsors, stakeholders or project team. What you report may therefore varied based on the audience the report is targeted to.
• We have added a new Executive Summary field to project status report to give you the ability to add an additional status commentary that you can use as an alternative status strapline. Toggle between the status report views to display the strapline you need.

IMPROVEMENT: Assign board tasks to projects and workhubs

• You can now assign board tasks to projects and workhubs. This can be done by using either the user interface or the bulk edit functionality.
• These tasks can then be viewed and edited from the actions dashboard fo the project or workhub they are assigned to.
• Only the tasks that belong to an active sprint or a Kanban board are displayed in the project or workhub actions dashboard, backlog tasks are not.

OTHERS:

• Improved schedule image layout on project workspace.

• Meeting is set as the default assignee when sending pre-session actions with no assignees.

• Added validation message if the impact title is over 510 characters.

16th March Patch Release

IMPROVEMENT: Apply filters on project dashboards

• We have been working on improving project dashboard performance, especially when more than 200+ projects are included in the view. 
• As a result, we have introduced the Apply button so that the query to retrieve the projects matching your filter criteria is only fired once you have finished setting all the project filters you need.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed rate card dropdown list on create and edit user pages.
• Fixed board task rank border when tasks are created as a follow-on task.

13th March Patch Release

BUG FIX: 

• Resource plan upload functionality was not setting the reportable flag on custom properties correctly.

7th March Patch Release

NEW: Export Wort and PowerPoint templates as PDF.

Listening to the feedback and feature request messages we receive from our community of users is key in helping us understand how we can improve the tool to better meet our client needs.

This new release addresses the feedback we received around sending customised meeting minutes or project reports as PDF. You can now select to export a Word or PowerPoint template as PDF or send your meeting minutes as PDF.

What else in this release?

• The resource plans upload feed code has been hardened to ensure the same email address cannot be used on two different accounts.
• Improved page loading performance of project dashboards with 200+ projects.
