In this release of P6-Loader v15, Emerald has added additional UDF merging options for better control. Layouts and filter controls have been greatly expanded, with a layout usage sheet and loader sheet to deal with user layouts. Resources can now be remapped when copying layouts.
New Features
-
Process One Row at a Time - Disable batching completely when dealing with large changes, such as deleting code types, UDF types, and projects. This can also be useful when loading data, if P6 is unable to save certain updates.
-
Layout Usage Sheet - Know which layouts and filters are in the database, and which filters exist and/or are active inside each layout, as well as which filters are user, layout or global filters. The sheet also lists the Gantt bars in the layout, whether they are visible or not, and which filter they reference.
-
Layout Usage Sheet Loader - Allows the team to clean up user filters from layouts, including global layouts. Replace a layout/user filter reference with a global filter, change the filter reference, and save the filter blob in the proper area in the layout, so that Gantt bar filters can be edited by users other than the the original creators of the filter. This is a key tool to keeping your layouts usable over time.
-
Task Dissolving - The P6-Loader can now dissolve tasks, keeping relationships working correctly in the project.
Enhancements
-
Improvements in the UDF Merge Sheet - More merge options, and more control regarding which values to keep/remove in the sheet.
-
Resource Remapping - When copying layouts, in addition to remapping code types, code values, users, and UDF types, the P6-Loader can now remap resources as well.
