• From now on, the order of the items in the “Saved Filters list” can be changed by drag-n-drop.
• We have adjusted the behaviour of the “Clear all filters” item at the Pipeline page. From now on, it will not only clear-up all applied filters but also unselect the selected filter, which restricts the use of the ‘edit’ option for it after this action.
• When you enter the system for the first time, you’ll see a specific set of filters that includes “group”, “group tag”, “related resources”, and “user” instead of all existing filters. You can filter projects by the required skill and its level in Pipeline.

• From now on, all options from the filter dropdown list will be colored grey if they conflict with the defined filter parameters.
• If a user has no permission to view a group, then this group and all users from it won’t be presented on the RM page. However, such a user will remain visible if (s)he belongs to a visible group.
• We’ve implemented a Primary multigroup functionality. It’s used to substitute hidden groups (user has no permission to view a group) in all related descriptions.
• Primary multigroup column is added to the “Advanced reports”, both CSV and Excel.

• In the reassign pop-up, you can see some changes in the way long group names are displayed. The user column contains just the beginning of the name with a continuation notation. The whole group name is displayed in the left part of the window.

4.     PipeLine

• We’ve adjusted advanced reports export for those that contain too much data. In this case, the system notifies a user that the number of lines in the report goes beyond the limit and suggests to filter it.
• In the Quick Edit mode, long group names are now presented in a handy way, too. You can see the beginning of the name in the user column and then a continuation notation. The whole group name is displayed in the left part of the window.

5.    Administration (User Management)

• Now there’s a “Skill” filter in Pipeline, so you can specify your search based on resources’ skills to find the most suitable one.
• From now on, you can see not only the date but also the exact time when any action was made with the project in a Project Card.

5.    Administration (User Management)

• We’ve extended user permission to update all task assignments. Now the Epicflow users who have permission to change their assignments (change remaining, spent, total values) are also allowed to change any assignments for these tasks.

6.    Resource Management

• The RM page filtering has been updated. We’ve replaced all old filters with the new ones.

• Added functionality to share milestones between projects.
  • Creation \ Deletion of the shared milestones (cloned MS)
  • Any cloned MS can be detached from original (parent) MS but after that it won’t be possible to make it back as cloned milestone.
  • Clone MS can’t be set as a successor
  • Color of cloned MS will be set as color of original MS
  • Priority of cloned MS will depend on its successors.

  • Moving the original MS, which can cause ‘black ranges’ in other projects, is allowed.
  • If Original MS was deleted and recreated later cloned MS will become internal one and no connection between those will be recreated.
  • Deletion of the original Project with original MS will make all cloned MS as regular one.
  • Added highlighting of the original MS in all projects where it’s used as cloned MS.
  • Connection points can’t be used for sharing.
  • Auto-calculated MS can’t be used for sharing.
• Implemented letter indication for the child MS also at MS in Gantt
• Adjusted warning message to have it similar during deletion of the parent MS and conversion to the connection point.
• On “Detach child milestone”, for more safe and consistent behavior, added confirmation pop-up whether user is sure that he\she wants to convert child milestone to the regular.
• Removed restriction to transfer IDD before child MS. (In this case a black range will be displayed)

1. Graphs

2. Task List

• Enlarged functionality of editing existing task’s info and synchronization such back to JIRA (predecessors/successors, task name, tags, description)

• Added auto fill mechanism of the resource group for external systems when group is not specified.

  • If NO group is specified but the user is assigned to the task, system will take a group with the highest capacity% of the user but only among those that are connected to the external system.

  • In other case group will be inherited from the lower level related summary related to the task that has a group specified.

Please note, that auto-detected group will be shown in Epicflow but it’s not going to be written back to the external system.

• Added functionality for Milestones creation directly from Epicflow UI for internal projects

• Added verification logic for newly created Milestones to omit black ranges and unfeasible planning.

• Hovering over working line in Task card for the budget task with negative remaining time will trigger a tooltip with % of exceeded time.

• Adjusted size of the Task Card to make it more convenient at small screen resolution.

• Added visual identification for the completed predecessors in the Task Card

• For Task Card added field Summary. Also on new task creation this field will be pre-filled.

• Adjusted algorithm of verification to forbid Summary loops creation for the end user.

• Implemented highlighting of the line where cursor is set

3. PipeLine

• Added functionality for Milestones creation directly from Epicflow UI for internal projects

• Optimized algorithm of Gantt ranges calculation
• Added functionality for expanding and collapsing Project and Summaries with the tasks inside of such for the Gantt graph.

• Adjusted ordering for tasks displayed in Gantt to have predecessor higher than successor even if it’s completed.
• Added “Delete” option in context menu located to the right from the task name. By functionality it’s the same as one in Task Card and Task List
• Optimized relations visualization in case of overload for the Gantt chart.
• Adjusted positioning and size of Pre\Succ dropdown menu area for appropriate naming depiction at Create Task frame.

• Implemented highlighting of the line where cursor is set

4. Administration (User Management)

• Added permissions for the tasks viewing and editing (View\Edit: personal tasks, tasks from the group or all tasks).
  • In case if “View tasks” is set to the lower level than “Manage tasks”, it will be automatically set to the same level.
  • In Opposite case no automatic changes are going to be done by System.
• Special permission for Gantt diagram review is added
• Adjusted permissions descriptions at Admin Page

• Added permissions for Add/Remove relation in Gantt for MS/Summary/Task

5. Resource Managemen

6. Import

7. Mobile APP

8. Other

• Due the reason of deprecation of basic password and cookie-based authentication mechanism for JIRA, we’ve implemented basic authentication with JIRA via API token.
• Implemented functionality for daily automatic Tasks’ export to CSV to an (S)FTP location of Epicflow network which can be accessible for the customer from the outside.
• In Exported Task List CSV added additional fields such as project manager and file stamp when the last update of remaining\spent\total hours was done.
