Camms is pleased to announce the August Feature Release for Camms.Project.

This was released on 15th August 2020 and includes the following new features and enhancements to improve your user experience within the system. 

• Admin can now pre-configure the Incident Types for each Incident object, if he/she wants to restrict users to create/link only incidents of the specified Incident Types.

• A new multi-select drop down named 'Incident types to be used in the object’ is now available in the object configuration area of the Incident object, allowing the admin to select incident types for each Incident object.

• Once the incident types are selected from the object configuration area, the system will restrict you to create/ link incidents of the selected incident types in the end user view of the Incident object. 

• When you create a new incident (by clicking on ‘Add’ icon on the toolbar), the ‘Type’ drop down in the Incident Creation form will only show the incident types selected for the respective Incident object.

• When you link an existing incident to the project (by selecting Incidents from the ‘Link Incidents’ drop down), ‘Link Incidents’ drop down will only show the existing incidents of the selected Incident Types. 

• The Gantt and Resource Manager used to have one-way synchronization where the updates made in the Gantt were flown through to the Resource Manager, but the updates made in the Resource Manager were not reflected in the Gantt.

• This functionality was extended to a two-way synchronization, so the resource allocations updated from Resource Utilization and Project Utilization screens will now automatically be reflected in the Resource Allocation pop-up in the Gantt.

• When you update the number of allocated hours of a staff member for a day from Resource Utilization or Project Utilization screens, the system will calculate the Hours Per Day in the Resource Allocation pop-up in the Gantt as follows.

                 Hours Per Day = Total effort for the task/Task duration

E.g. 

• The duration of the task ‘Project Management’ is 2 days (Start date: 11^th August and End Date: 13^th August) 

• The number of hours per day in the Resource Allocation pop-up in the Gantt against the staff ‘Clarke’ is 8.

In the Resource Utilization, when you update the no. of hours against Clarke for 11^th Aug as 10, the system will calculate the Hours Per Day in the Gantt as given below and update the Hours Per day for 11^th and 12^th Aug against Clarke with 9. 

Hours Per Day = (10+8)/2 = 9
