With the new release of P6 v24 comes a flood of enhancements and new features that make P6 better and easier to use than ever! From a new, simple way to unlink your activities in P6 Client, to a whole new view for timesheets in Team Member, take a look at a few of our favorite new additions.
New Features
-
P6 EPPM Web: Access to Audit Data on the EPS page. The audit panel allows you to see the changes made in the selected tables in your preferred time period once job services are run, possibly on a nightly basis. Customize your view - choose the time period, tables to be included, and the filter you use, and print directly from the panel.
-
P6 EPPM Client and P6 EPPM Web: Milestones allow assigning any relationship type to a milestone activity. You can import projects regardless of relationship types assigned to milestone activities, copy and paste milestone activities without losing any relationships, and change the type of activity (project or baseline) to a start or finish milestone without losing any relationships.
-
P6 EPPM Client and P6 EPPM Web: Unlinking Activities is now an option to Unlink Activities in the Edit Menu of the Activities page, allowing you to easily unlink activities from their successors and/or predecessors.
-
P6 EPPM Client: Importing Responsible Managers is now available as a data type in the Global tab of the XER import template. Choose whether you want to import it, with the default Keep Existing option, or select Do Not Import to prevent Responsible Managers from another OBS structure from being imported into your own. Alternatively you can select Update Existing to ensure your OBS structure is updated when the file is imported.
-
P6 EPPM Client: Timesheet Approvals can be used to view, approve, or reject timesheets, as well as view and add Timesheet History Notes, and to send emails to the resource who submitted a timesheet. Delegates can also be selected to perform these tasks on the behalf of managers.

Enhancements
-
P6 EPPM Client: Improved Clarity in the Global Change Report. The Project ID and WBS code for all changed items is now displayed in the Global Change report, so that you can better understand the extent of the changes if applying the global change to more than one project.
-
P6 EPPM Client: Preview Changes Before Committing to Updating a Baseline. Before changing your baseline data, you can now preview the effects those changes would have before committing. After previewing, you can update your changes and preview again as many times as you’d like before committing.
-
P6 Team Member Web: The standard view is now the default when viewing the Timesheets page, while the classic view has been deprecated. Enjoy custom filters and views, various group and sort options, quick search functionality, the ability to add or hide columns in the grid, significant performance improvements during data loading, and a look and feel that is closer to the P6 interface.
-
P6 Team Member Web: View the Description of Steps - In, you can see the descriptions of each step in the Steps section of the Activity Details tab of the progress panel, as well as in the Steps dialog box. The Step Details page for iOS also shows the descriptions of each step.
-
P6 Team Member Web: Limit the Scope of the All filter for Completed Activities. The Timeframe for Completed Activities setting in the Preferences page allows you to select your preferred scope for the All filter when viewing completed activities. You can choose between 30, 60, 90 or 180 days. This is also available in the Settings of P6 for iOS.
