Release | Type | Reference | Area | Summary | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
849.10 | Change | EC#4883 | Accounts | Adjustments reinstated to Accounts sheet for Architect database configurations. | Adjustment feature has been reinstated and the rules tightened. Adjustments are available in Architect database configurations only. The Adjust$ column is visible in the Accounts sheet when the [option] ShowAdjustment=1 exists in eTrack Settings. Adjustments can be entered by users who have write access to the Accounts Sheet AND write access to the Adjust$ column as per security groups permissions 38 and 159. This can be set up by an Admin user. A New Adjustment entry is allowed on any Type where a new Invoice entry is allowed as per Type Setting 86 but is limited to Time-Based work – Fixed Price / % work can simply have the Price edited. To add an Adjustment right-click on the work item, select Add New Adjustment entry then enter an amount in Adjust$ column. The Adjustment amount increases WIP so you can bill more than the work done to date. Whilst not invoiced the amount can be edited or the entry deleted via Reverse Adjustment option on the right-click menu. Once an Adjustment has been fully or partially taken up in an invoice, its status will change to \\\'invoiced\\\' and it cannot be edited or reversed. Note that Adjustments do not appear as line items on printed invoices – the amount is simply included in the invoice total. We suggest adding an invoice note eg: This invoice includes an Adjustment of $x. If the purpose of the Adjustment is to bill in advance (rather than simply billing extra) then the process would be to write-off WIP, up to the value of the Adjustments, from labour that is subsequently booked to timesheets. |
849.1 | Issue | EC#4811 | Reports | Whenever a filter is applied to report results, any grouping is first removed as filtering and grouping cannot be used at the same time. | |
849.1 | Issue | EC#4879 | Schedule | When running the Resource Plan report in the Schedule the Show Only Active Work option is now set to match the Schedule view as indicated by the red A button. | |
849.1 | Issue | SVT#582 | Reports | Totals in reports are refreshed when the results are filtered either via the Filter dropdown or the right-click menu \'Filter By\' option. | |
849 | Change | GB#66 | Invoices | The PO# field on the Invoices tab is now a dropdown listing PO#s if an Information Item of type PO# exists. This usually applies to Engineering databases where Scope Changes are configured. If none exist the field remains as an editable field. | |
848.5 | Change | SVT#1082 | Schedule | Autosave files are now saved to the Backup directory on the server as set in eTrackConsole (default is c:\\etrack\\Backup). Users must have write access to this location. Filenames include the user\'s name. | |
848.5 | New Feature | EC#4898 | Utilities | Renamed eTrackScheduler.exe to eTrackTasks.exe and enhanced its functionality to replace eTrackAlarmService. | eTrackTasks is an application to run nominated tasks at scheduled times. To set it up, run eTrackConsole.exe and click Schedule. Select which tasks to run: Update and Optimize Schedules (ETC Update and Update Resource Plans utilities) / Create Folders and Documents linked to files on file server (Document Link Utility) / Backup Database. Then schedule the application to run via Windows Task Scheduler. When launched the application will run the selected tasks sequentially waiting for one to complete before running the next. Refer User Guide for more information. Note: the Doc Link Utility requires a schedule.dat file to specify the tree location where it should run - please contact support for more details. |
848.4 | Change | EC#4788 | General | Added Refresh button to custom register tabs so user can update to reflect changes made. | This is an interim solution to address an issue where a register does not update when an entry is deleted - the entry is deleted from the database and the tree refreshes but the custom tab requires the underlying report to be re-run. An auto-refresh will be implemented in a future release. |
848 | New Feature | EC#4749 | Contacts | New tab on Contact Groups to list contacts and their details for CRM purposes. Type, Number and Name is displayed by default. Additional details can be added by users as required. | The register can be customised for your own CRM purposes by adding Information Items to Company and Individual contact templates and updating the register report to link to these new fields. Please contact eTrack Support for instructions. |
848 | New Feature | EC#4783 | Planning Tasks (engineers) | Added new option Insert From List on right-click menu that creates a new task where the Task Name is selected from a list. | This feature allows you to pre-define your tasks so users can select from a list. To limit users to only selecting from the list you can tick Permission #201 Restrict Editing of Task Name, for each Security Group that will disable the Insert After option and not allow editing of the task field. The list of Tasks is defined under Setup\\eTrack Setttings\\has Lookups\\Planning Tasks |
847.3 | Change | EC#4888 | Reports | New columns added to Efficiency Report per Week (in the Gallery): Standard Hours (from Person Details tab) and Reimbursability % (Billable Hours/Standard Hours). | |
847.0 | Issue | GB#78 | Project Details | Fixed issue where changing project status caused the project to appear in both the new and existing project group. | |
847.0 | Issue | none | Project Details | Made multi contact list editable by all users even if their security group allows read only access to this screen. | |
846.5 | New Feature | BS Spec | Added a new feature to create a new RFI from an email or save attachments to an existing RFI. | To create a new RFI from an email, click New RFI button - eTrack will create a new RFI entry in the construction of the referenced project, including details from the email and attachments. To update an existing RFI, click Add to RFI - eTrack will save the attachments to the selected RFI. After New or Add the RFI is added as a reference to the email and the email is Filed. On the RFI Details tab a new View Emails button will take you to the Email Reference tab to view all emails referenced to the RFI. | |
846.26 | Change | E198 | Added an \"Are you sure?\" prompt when selecting Remove Account from the User Accounts dialog. | ||
846.26 | Change | S093 | General | Added Copy, Paste and Cut functions to the right-click menu for grids and fields throughout eTrack and Copy/Paste for checklist items. | Various fields now have copy/paste/cut options via the right-click menu. On Checklist tabs the entire Task text can be copied or pasted using Copy Text and Paste Text options. Some fields (those with a yellow background) such as on the Company Details and Person Details tabs are not compatible with this function. |
846.25 | New Feature | EC#4869 | Project Details | Added feature to allow Status Prefix to be included in the Project Number, Job Number, Opportunity Number etc | To use this feature: 1. Expand Setup/eTrack Settings/has Lookups/Category/has Lookup Values/Project/has Lookup Values 2. For each Status (every status must have a prefix) add a Prefix followed by a colon to the start of the Name eg Q:Quote, HOLD:Pending 3. Go to Tools>Type Settings, select Project from the list of Types then set the Number Prefix field to be the same as the Prefix (no colon) of the default status when a new project is created ie the Status associated with the Project Group in Place New Item Under field. How it works: When project status is changed to 'Quote', the project number will be Q1234 Note: the colon does not appear, if you want the format to be Q:1234 then add two colons eg: Q::Quote. |
846.22 | Change | E116 | Added BCC function to new emails. | ||
846.22 | Change | E199 | Added ability to add a reference to multiple emails at once via the right-click menu or new Add Reference button in the main toolbar. | ||

846.2 | Issue | D148 | File Management | Changed matching rules to stop duplicate project folders being created on the file server when creating folders, renaming tree items or attaching documents in eTrack. | |
846.2 | Issue | D165 | File Management | Fixed issue with Document Link Utility where it created a duplicate project folder on the file server if the original project folder did not have the same Project Name as the matching project in eTrack. | |
846.2 | Issue | D166 | File Management | Fixed issue where an error appeared on creation of folders on the file server to match new folders created in eTrack under a project template. | |

846.20 | Issue | D181 | File Management | Fixed issue when changing status of a project that has an Acronym value (Acronym option enabled), on the server subfolders were created with no parent project folder. | |
846.2 | New Feature | D147 | File Management | Created new option so that project folders on the file server are named using Acronym field instead of Project Name. | When a new project folder is created on the file server to link to a project in eTrack, the project folder is named Project # |
846.18 | Issue | D137 | Documents | Fixed error when creating a new document from a template that is attached. | |
846.12 | Change | GB#69 | Reports | Timesheet Report headings renamed to Number (was Task#) and Name (was Task). | |

846.12 | Issue | E196 | Improved performance of filing emails. | ||
846.12 | New Feature | GB#80 | Expenses/Disbursements | New option so checkbox for \'Entry Includes GST\' defaults to ticked. | When adding new Actual expenses the \'Entry Includes GST\' checkbox defaults to not ticked to indicate the charge amount is GST-exclusive. To make it default to ticked (ie: charge amount is GST-inclusive) add this line to eTrack Settings under [options]: DefaultExpenseEntryIncludesGST=1 |
846 | Change | D103 | File Management | Changed the default behaviour when saving embedded documents to not save backups in the document path as this is redundant. | If you want to save backups (in Word format) of embedded documents, add this line to eTrack Settings under [options] SaveBackupOfEmbeddedDocuments=1 |
845.4 | New Feature | E170 | Scheduler Application | A new application eTrackScheduler developed to sync emails in the background and / or run scheduled tasks. | The eTrackScheduler application is installed on the server and has two modes of operation. (1) If you have Built-In Email enabled, whenever eTrack needs to sync your emails it will activate the Scheduler application to execute the sync in the background so that you can continue to use eTrack at the same time. Without the Scheduler application, eTrack will still sync your emails however whilst eTrack is running the sync it is locked to that task and cannot be used – this will have the appearance of eTrack ‘freezing’ and you may think it has stopped working. Refer to the Built-In Email Guide for more details. (2) If you need to run certain events on a regular basis, such as nightly or weekly, the Scheduler application can be launched manually on the server to run these events at scheduled times as defined in a file called Schedule.dat. Currently the Scheduler is able to run the ETC Update and Document Link Utility. Refer to the Admin Guide for more details. |
845.2 | Change | EC#4823 | Accounts | New rules for Write Off to ensure correct calculation of WIP. | The Write Off column in the Accounts tab will only accept positive values. For time-based stages, write-off can be entered at the Stage, Person, Date (hours) and Expense rows. When entered at Stage or Person levels the amount is distributed to Date and Expense rows below. Once an Date / Expense row has an amount written off the Status becomes ‘invoiced’ which makes the items read only in the Timesheet / Expenses tab. For Fixed Price stages only expenses can be written off, to alter WIP edit the Price. |
844 | New Feature | EC#4736 | Documents | A new feature to record Transmittals has been added to Projects. | Transmittals can be recorded on the new Transmittals subtab on a Project. Add contacts and documents by dragging from the tree or using the Add buttons. Click Add Transmittal to add a new Transmittal entry then select the date, type and delivery method. For each document in the transmittal specify the version number and for each contact specify the number of copies sent. |
843.5 | Change | EC#4839 | Documents | On the Insert Field dialog in the eTrack editor, there are new fields for Project Manager and Job Sub Captain under the Project heading on the Favourites tab. | |

843 | Change | EC#4678 | Contract Administration | Added Type to Sum Adjust register of Constructions with lookup values of Client Requested, Architect Variation, Provisional, Contingency and Contractor Claim. | |
842.0 | Issue | EC#4815 | Expenses/Disbursements | Fixed issue so the Add Disbursement button displays the correct list of disbursements on the dialog. | |
842.0 | Issue | EC#4828 | Settings | Turned off Security Group permission #188 for all groups as relates to functionality no longer supported. | |
841.1 | Change | S092 | Accounts | The types under which Invoice Entries in the Accounts tab can be created is now controlled by Type Settings. | The default types are Stage, Phase, Opportunity, Disbursements, Sub-Consultants and Variations. If you are using different terminology or wish to create Invoice Entries under a different Type please select Tools>Type Settings, select the Type on the left and tick permission #86 Allow Invoice Entries in Accounts under Type. It is important that invoice entries are only created at the same level - if invoice entries exist at multiple levels, for instance at both the project and stage level, this will result in an incorrect WIP calculation and invalidate the Accounts on the project.. |
841.1 | Issue | EC#4723 | Planning Tasks (engineers) | Added scroll bar to Commercial tab so can view all fields when using low resolution monitors. | |
840.8 | Change | EC#3688 | Budget | The way Price is calculated for % Based stages (ie: Fixed Price ticked and Lump Sum not ticked) has changed to Price = % of Contract * Contract Fee. | This applies to the Project Budget tab (Price structure table) and Stage Details tab (Cost Structure section). If you would like to use the old formula ie: Price = % of Contract * [Contract Fee - sum (lump sum Prices)] add this line to eTrack Settings under [Options] PercentofContractCalc=1 |
840.6 | Change | EC#4501 | Documents | Document Link Utility changed so it does not create duplicate project folders. | The Document Link Utility has always matched on Project Number only ie: it links documents to projects where a folder name in the Document Path contains a Project Number in eTrack. Previously it also created a folder in the Document Path named Project# ProjectName if one did not exist. This last step has been removed. |
840.6 | Change | EC#4782 | General | Name fields such as Client and Owner now display names in First Name Surname format (previously was Surname, First Name) | |
840.6 | Issue | EC#4600 | Security | Turn ON Type Setting #19 Hide Active Checkbox in Item Details for Person and Role | |

840.12 | Change | EC#4777 | Budget | If Lump Sum on a stage is not ticked, Price cannot be edited as it is calculated as a % of Contract Fee. | |
840.12 | Issue | EC#4801 | Invoices | Fixed issue where invoice numbers were not being corrected generated in sequence. | |
840.11 | Change | EC#4751 | Planning Tasks (engineers) | Added new option Insert Copy on right-click menu that creates a new task like Insert After but has the Task Name copied from the selected task. | |

838.9 | Issue | EC#4709 | Invoices | Fixed issue where Fixed Price invoices were not being picked up in the Export to Accounting Package when AccountsExportOption=4 | |
838.6 | Issue | EC#4674 | Invoices | Invoices tab: various issues resolved. | Added \'Clear Date\' option to right-click menu so Date Paid can be deleted. If a row is edited when the grid is filtered, changes are correctly applied. Changes to Payment Details are saved automatically. If a filter is applied and then a row is edited, fixed so \'apply filter\' refreshes the results. |
838.5 | Issue | EC#4578 | Security | Fixed bug where new security groups became orphaned. | |
838.5 | Issue | EC#4658 | Contacts | Fixed error where the edit box linked to ‘Use Address’ was editable for all selections (but edits not saved). The field is now only editable when Use Address = Other Address. | |

838.4 | New Feature | EC#4692 | Reports | Add options to change Page Layout and Paper Size in custom reports. | Portrait/Landscape and Paper Size can be changed in Custom Reports in the ‘Preview’ subtab.

838.33 | Change | D133 | Documents | Double-click an embedded document name in the tree and the document opens in the Editor (shortcut for right-click>Edit>Document). | |
838.33 | Change | D136 | Documents | Documents tab will now list documents for the selected tree item only. | Previously the Documents tab listed all documents for the selected tree item plus all documents for its child items that was slow to load. Now each child item eg:stage is also listed and can be double-clicked to expand down to it\'s document list . |
838.33 | Change | EC#4722 | Accounts | Adjustments column (to Bill in Advance) removed from Accounts sheet. | The functionality to increase WIP via an adjustment (Adjust$ column) has been removed. To Bill in Advance for time-based work: go to the Disbursements subtab on the stage (or Disbursements stage in the tree), click Add Disbursement, select the item called Adjustment and set the Actual Charge to the amount you want to bill in advance. Once the work has actually been done, you can write off the new charges via the Write Off column in the Accounts tab. |
838.33 | Change | EC#4757 | Invoices | Clients that are couples or individuals are now properly catered for in the invoice export. | For couples, on the Company/Couple Details screen tick the new checkbox ‘Is a Couple’. Then create individual contacts for each person and set one of these as the Billing Contact. The invoice export will take the first name, last name and (street) address of the Billing Contact. For individuals the export has been fixed to export name and address correctly. |
838.33 | Issue | D134 | Documents | When renaming an item, save when exit the field. Was previously saving on every keystroke that affected performance. | |
838.29 | Issue | D135 | File Management | Improved performance when editing a Project Name by updating file paths when leaving the field rather than on every keystroke. | |
838.28 | Change | S070 | Timesheets | Timesheet tab layout improvements | 1. Added TODAY button for quick return to the current week. 2. Book To column widened. 3. Removed \"hint\" text and extra Activity dropdown field. |

If you have old versions of eTrack Help files on your local machine or server, these can be deleted. |
838.17 | Change | EC#4717 | Invoices | Added new option to the Invoice Batches filter called \"all exported\" which will filter invoices to show only those with a Batch Number. | |
838.17 | Change | S087b | Invoices | Invoices tab improvements with All checkbox, Invoice Template dropdown and export dialog. | The list of invoice templates in the Template dropdown is now refreshed to reflect what is on the server (rather than listing templates previously used as this caused an error on print if the previously used template had since been deleted). Fixed ‘all’ checkbox so that a single click selects / unselects all invoices. Remove reference to ‘MYOB’ on the export dialog since export is compatible with multiple accounting packages. |
838.12 | Issue | EC#4714 | Project Details | Fixed issue where Client field on a project was being cleared after visiting the Budget tab. | |
838.11 | Change | EC#4706 | Documents | The Document Link Utility can now be configured to exclude OR include specific file types according to a user-defined filter list. | The current behaviour to link to all file types in the Doc Path will remain the default. To apply a filter, enter one of the following under [options] in eTrack Settings and edit the extension list as required (minimum of one extension is required). Note the ‘;’ between each extension: DocumentLinkExcludeList=.exe;.dll;.jpg DocumentLinkIncludeList=.doc;.pdf;.xls;.docx If both options exist, only the Include option is applied. Note that ALL Folders in the Doc Path are linked to. If the folder on the server only contains excluded files, the linked folder in eTrack will be empty. |
838.11 | Issue | EC#4684 | Accounts | Fixed two issues in Accounts sheet where WIP on expenses was incorrectly processed after creating / editing an invoice entry. | |
838.10 | New Feature | S088 | Contract Administration | Improved the integration between the Construction stage and Project>Budget tab. | 1. Added ‘open’ buttons on the Project Budget tab for easy navigation to Sum Adjust and Progress Claims registers. 2. Added warning for user to visit the Project Budget tab after saving Sum Adjusts and Progress Claims to refresh Contract Fee and % Based stage Prices.

837.44 | Issue | EC#4671 | Invoices | Allow Date Paid and Paid$ to be entered on invoices with \"exported\" status (in addition to \"printed\" status). | |
837.35 | New Feature | EC#4610 | Timesheets | Allow each timesheet cell to be flagged as 'do not invoice' so the charge for that work is not added to the total Actual Charge of the job. | "To enable this feature go to each security group and tick permission #200 "Allow Access to Do Not Invoice". To use this feature, right-click on a timesheet cell and tick the Do Not Invoice option - the time booked will appear pink to indicate the charge rate has been set to $0. In the Accounts sheet any timesheet cell flagged as 'do not invoice' will not appear. LIMITATION: in the Accounts Sheet, Actual Hours includes ALL hours booked regardless of the 'do not invoice' flag." |
837.28 | Issue | EC#4655 | Invoices | Properly itemise expenses on the printed invoice when there are multiple entries of the same expense type. | |
837.21 | Change | EC#4640 | Security | Add new permission to allow users to edit Timesheet Activities. | Write access to various subtabs on stages is protected from the User security group. This setting allows users to edit the Timesheet Activities subtab while still maintaining the appropriate level of access for other areas. To enable go to User Security Group Settings and tick permission #199 Allow Timesheet Activity Editing. |
837.19 | New Feature | EC#4596 | Accounts | Allow a project to be invoiced in another currency. | "eTrack allows projects to be tracked in other currencies but invoicing is done in the default currency. A new option allows for invoicing in the project currency. To enable this add the following setting to eTrack Settings under [options] DoNotConvertCurrencyInAccounts=1 When this setting is 1, the project will not be converted to the default currency when loaded in the Accounts tab." |
837.12 | Issue | EC#4630 | Checklists | Fixed QA rollout feature to prevent duplicate rows being rolled out and correctly rollout header rows. | |
837.09 | Issue | EC#4607 | Reports | Fixed issue where the Activity / Time Report (gallery) was showing expense amounts including GST (where 'entry includes GST' was ticked on the expense). All values in the report are now ex-GST. | |

834.13 | Issue | EC#4556 | Documents | Fixed crash in documents when editing tables. | |
834.08 | Issue | EC#4566 | File Management | Fixed issue where the backup file on the server was being saved after every keystroke when changing the document name in the editor. Now saves when you leave the field. | |
834.04 | Change | EC#4589 | Invoices | On Invoices tab, Discount $ has been renamed to Paid Write off $. Use this to record amounts such as $ not paid (bad debt), rounding or discrepancies due to currency conversions etc | |
834.04 | Issue | EC#4438 | File Management | Stripped invalid characters from file path when creating folders on the server. | When saving folders/documents the file path on the server is a direct match to the tree path. eTrack allows special characters to be included in tree item names but these are not allowed by Windows so the folder creation fails in this case. Stripping the invalid character maintains naming flexibility while resolving this issue. |
834.04 | Issue | EC#4527 | Security | Fixed issue where 'user' security group users could not tick checklist items or input details on new expenses even though the correct permissions were on. | |
834.04 | Issue | EC#4554 | Documents | Fixed issue where documents did not save changes to margins and page layout. | |

New expenses have no Tax Code and must be set by the user. 4. MANUAL STEP: Go to eTrack Settings in the tree On the Settings Details tab scroll down to the ACCOUNTING PACKAGE section and make sure the following option is set so it looks like AccountsExportOption=4 This option means the export will use the tax code from the client info item. |
834.04 | New Feature | EC#4540 | Timesheets | Added feature to rollout out new timesheet activities from a template. | "To add new timesheet activities to all existing projects based on a template: 1. Expand the tree to Project Templates and add the timesheet activities. 2. Right click and select Rollout... 3. Choose the options that you require and click Continue. 4. Press F5 refresh." |
834.01 | Issue | EC#4538 | File Management | When saving a document on the server if any tree item that makes up the document path contains invalid characters, these are ignored. This ensures the folder creation does not fail. | |
833.21 | Issue | EC#4141 | Reports | When a report is exported to Excel, negative currency values do not have brackets so Excel can apply the Currency format and include the values in formulas. | |
833.21 | Issue | EC#4565 | Rate Sets | On the Person Details tab, changes to Charge Rate and Cost Rate are now processed separately (previously were combined into one action on leaving the tab). | On the Person Details tab, changes to Charge Rate and Cost Rate are now processed separately (previously were combined into one action on leaving the tab).

833 | Change | EC#4190 | General | All Details screens now have a rich text editing ribbon | |
833 | Issue | EC#3637 | Expenses/Disbursements | Invoiced disbursements / expenses cannot be deleted or edited | |
833 | Issue | EC#3792 | Reports | When running the Budget report using the hyperlink from the Budget tab, the option (under Show in the search criteria dialog) selected by default matches the view of the Budget table eg: if View is Cost Rates, then Use Cost Rate is ticked. | |
833 | Issue | EC#4466 | General | Fixed display issue where Price Structure table could not be seen on small screens such as on small laptops. | |

Instead it is linked to the list of contacts associated to the project. On the Project Details tab drag any contacts from the tree to the Contacts list. |

823.26 | Change | EC#4003 | Invoices | Invoice To Date calculation | Previously eTrack calculated the $Invoice To Date value (on the Project > Budget tab in the Price Structure table) when an invoice was printed. In the interim between creating and printing invoices this value did not match the total $Invoice on the Account Sheet. Now the $Invoice To Date value is calculated at the time the Invoice is created. Should you wish to maintain the old functionality add this to eTrack settings under [Options] InvoiceToDateCalc=1 With this setting only invoices with Invoice Status of ‘Printed’, ‘Exported’ or ‘Printed and Exported’ will be included in the $Invoice To Date value. A new hint on the $Invoice To Date column says which invoices are included based on the Option. |
823.26 | Change | EC#4305 | Reports | Allow user to enter a date range when running a report for 'whole of office' | Previously when a report was run from the top main menu (for whole of office) it used the default date range (current financial year). To make a report run for a user specified date range, tick Date Range on the Report Details Permissions tab. When the report is run the Gallery will be displayed allowing the user to enter a date range. |

823.26 | Issue | EC#3945 | Security | Removed access to view cost rates in reports for users without permission | The Activity/Time report and Budget report search criteria dialog have Cost Rate as an option.

822.09 | Change | EC#3911 | Notes | Progress notes to allow entry of multiple note types | On the Project Details tab and Stage Details > Progress Notes subtab, the Add Note dialog allows you to enter a note of any type (previously only notes of type ‘progress’ could be entered). Additionally the displayed list of notes can be filtered by note type. It will default to ‘Progress’ after login. |
822.09 | Change | none | General | Date Types | Many Date-type fields throughout eTrack have been changed so that dates can now only be selected from the calendar control and not typed directly into the field. Click or double-click in the field to display the calendar. |
822.09 | Issue | EC#3908 | General | Improved the functioning of Information Item date fields | The values in Information Items fields that are date types do not change when the user clicks in the field. Users without write access to information items cannot edit the value of dates. The ‘clear’ option on the right-click menu works correctly. Date fields have been changed so that dates can now only be selected from the calendar control and not typed directly into the field. Click or double-click in the field to display the calendar. |
822.08 | New Feature | EC#3823 | Reports | Pre-filtering for custom reports via Additional Criteria and Save Criteria option to set default search criteria for all users. | PRE-FILTER Added Additional Criteria fields to the Report Gallery search criteria so you can pre-define the filtering of the report results before running the report. The ‘column’ dropdown lists the report columns that can be selected for filtering, including information items. Select a column then select an ‘operation’ and a ‘value’. For date ranges, you must define the start date in one operation followed by the end date in the next operation. Pre-filtering can result in significant speed-ups when running reports. Limitation: A context specific list of values (for the Value picklist) cannot be determined prior to running the report. The reason is that a database field may be used for different Types and thus appear on multiple screens throughout eTrack. Note that a field is not identified by its label on the screen but the underlying definition in the code. In some cases the field is used widely and the picklist is very large as it will contain all possible values across all applications of the field. You are not restricted to selecting an item from the picklist - the field is editable so you can type the value you wish to search for, however it must be an exact match to be found. SAVE CRITERIA The Save Criteria button allows an administrator to set additional criteria for the report so that when other users login these are the default. The other users can run the report using different criteria if they wish but they cannot save new defaults. If a user changes the criteria when they logout and in again the saved criteria will display again. Any administrator who logins and removes the additional criteria will be prompted if they want to make these the new defaults. Save Criteria button is controlled by security group permission #22 Access to Report Writer (usually on for Admin only). |
822.01 | Change | none | Invoices | Invoice Date | On Invoices tab, Date To Invoice / Date Printed column has been renamed Invoice Date, date defaults to invoice entry from Account Sheet (if multiple invoice entries with different dates then newest date is used and all invoice entries are set to that date), date can be edited but not cleared (Clear Date removed from right-click menu), printing an invoice does not change the Invoice Date. |
822.01 | Issue | EC#3949 | Invoices | Invoice date in Account Sheet reflects changes made in Invoices tab | When the Invoice Date of an invoice is changed on the Invoices tab, the new date is reflected against all of the invoice entries in the Account Sheet that apply to that invoice. |
822.01 | Issue | EC#4251 | Schedule | Resolution for Actuals not being displayed in Schedule | In previous releases, when ticking the checkbox in the Schedule Options to display Actuals, a refresh was done but Actual values were not being loaded from the database. This was a bug introduced due to the reversing of a flag that was not changed in one place in the code. There was a work around: tick to include Actuals in the Schedule Open dialog. If Actuals had previously been loaded in the session such as by looking at a timesheet or running a report, then they would be displayed, which explains why it appears intermittent. |
822.01 | New Feature | EC#4048 | Invoices | Invoice Print Preview | The Print Preview feature allows you to see the invoice in the selected Invoice template without triggering any of the actions that printing an invoice does ie: generating an invoice number, changing Invoice Status or updating the Invoice To Date $ value. On the Invoices tab, right click on an invoice and select Print Preview from the popup menu. |
822.01 | New Feature | none | Invoices | Invoice Status | A new column has been added to the Invoices tab called Invoice Status. When an invoice is created Invoice Status will default to ‘Approved’. Invoices cannot be printed or exported when the Invoice Status is ‘Not Approved’. You can manually change the status from ‘Approved’ to ‘Not Approved’ however should you wish new invoices to default to ‘Not Approved’ please add this to eTrack settings under [Options] DefaultInvoiceStatus=0 The Invoice Status will automatically change as follows: • ‘Printed’ when the invoice is printed • ‘Exported’ when the invoice is exported • ‘Printed and Exported’ when the invoice has been both exported and printed (in either order) After an invoice has been printed the status cannot be manually changed. After an invoice has been exported the status cannot be manually changed however if you clear the batch number the status will return to ‘Approved’. NOTE: All existing Invoices will have a status of ‘Approved’ even though they may have been already printed and/or exported. |

To allow users to delete existing RFIs untick #4 Delete Protected. 4. Repeat for each register type: Adjustment of Time, Contract Instruction, Contract Sum Adjust, Defect, Insurance, Progress Claim, Progress Payment Certificate, Progress Report By default, #4 is ticked and #7 is unticked ie: users can create new but not delete. |

817.03 | Issue | EC#4031 | Timesheets | ETC reduction corrected where ETC is set at a stage level. | ETC now reduces correctly in the case where no people are assigned and ETC is set for the stage in the budget grid, then time is booked and user goes to stage details tab. This fixes the error where ETC became 0 when switching screens after time was booked. |
817.03 | Issue | EC#4040 | Timesheets | Stage gets ETC equal to time booked when time is booked to stage with no ETC and then stage is deleted from timesheet | corrected the processing for increasing ETC when user reduces/deletes time booked to a stage that has 0 ETC |

Also in the case where time is booked to a stage, then the ETC is increased and more time booked. |
816.19 | Issue | EC#3787 | Notes | The default sort order for notes on the Notes tab is by date - newest to oldest. | |
816.14 | Issue | EC#3917 | Reports | Activity / Time Report now groups disbursements with project timesheet data | The Activity /Time report output now groups disbursements and timesheet data together for each project. Previously disbursements were listed separately at the end of the report. |

Note: minimum resolution supported is 1024x768. |
816.05 | Issue | EC#3972 | Timesheets | Fixed problem with saving the timesheet when booking to equipment (such as Travel). | |
