This topic lists the issues that have been addressed in the Asta Powerproject version 17.3.2 release.

DevOps Work Item 3872
Category Histograms/Filters
Summary Include information only from allocations that meet the criteria of the selected allocation-based filter in histograms.
Description Before this release, if you graphed resource or cost information in a histogram and applied an allocation-based filter to the histogram, information from allocations that did not meet the filter criteria, but that were assigned to tasks with allocations that did meet the filter criteria, was included in the histogram. A customer requested for it to be possible to exclude allocations that did not meet the criteria of the selected filter in these circumstances.
Resolution

You can now specify that only information from allocations that meet the criteria of an allocation-based filter is included in a histogram, using the new Filter individual allocations check box that has been added to the Report tab of the Histogram Report Properties dialog.

 

This check box works with the following types of filter:

  • Any filter where the objects being filtered are set to Permanent resource allocations, Consumable resource allocations or Cost allocations on the Tasks and Allocations page of the Filter Wizard.
  • Any RBS/CBS filter - ie a filter that was created when an RBS/CBS view was active.
  • Any filter where the objects being filtered are set to All task and allocation types on the Tasks and Allocations page of the Filter Wizard, provided that only the following pages of the Filter Wizard are used:
    • Calendar.
    • Costs.
    • Duration.
    • Progress.
    • Resources - Consumable.
    • Resources - Permanent.
    • Time Slice - Date Range.
    • User Fields.
    • User Tables.

Category Code libraries
Summary Code libraries not sorted alphabetically in properties dialogs or when right-clicking the Code/link category control in the Object Edit toolbar.
Description A customer reported that although code libraries are sorted alphabetically in the project view and in Library Explorer, they were not sorted alphabetically when they appeared in a properties dialog or when you right-clicked the Code/link category control in the Object Edit toolbar. This could make it difficult to locate the code library you wanted.
Resolution Code libraries are now sorted in alphabetical order when they appear in a properties dialog and when you right-click the Code/link category control in the Object Edit toolbar.

 

DevOps Work Item 8118
Category Filters
Summary No allocations are displayed in the bar chart when using an allocation-based filter to look for tasks with one or more allocations to which a specific code has been assigned.
Description A customer reported that when they configured a permanent allocation-based filter to look for tasks with one or more allocations to which a specific code had been assigned, if they selected the Show only relevant allocations check box, no allocations were displayed in the bar chart - not even allocations to which the specified code had been assigned.
Resolution

The Show only relevant allocations check box, on the Filter Properties dialog, now correctly limits the allocations that are displayed in the filtered view to those to which the specified code has been assigned.

 

This check box works with the following types of filter:

  • Any filter where the objects being filtered are set to Permanent resource allocations, Consumable resource allocations or Cost allocations on the Tasks and Allocations page of the Filter Wizard.
  • Any RBS/CBS filter - ie a filter that was created when an RBS/CBS view was active.
  • Any filter where the objects being filtered are set to All task and allocation types on the Tasks and Allocations page of the Filter Wizard, provided that only the following pages of the Filter Wizard are used:
    • Calendar.
    • Costs.
    • Duration.
    • Progress.
    • Resources - Consumable.
    • Resources - Permanent.
    • Time Slice - Date Range.
    • User Fields.
    • User Tables.
