New Features

• If a date field in Excel doesn't have the time information (or is set to midnight), the P6-Loader will adjust the time accordingly to the following rules:
  • If the field is formatted as a date, and the time in the field is set to midnight, and if the field is in the “permitted” field list, then the time will be adjusted;
  • Or, if the field is not formatted as a date (it is a string in Excel), then the time will be adjusted.
  • How is the time adjusted?
    • Start dates are set to midnight, or to an optional “start of shift” time that can be defined in the application settings;
    • Finish dates are set to 23:59:59, or to an optional “end of shift” time that can be defined in the application settings.
  • P6 will automatically adjust the time so that it matches the activity calendar working hours, for the fields where this rule is applied;
  • These settings can be turned on or off in the application settings.

Bug Fixes

• During the calendar rolldown, normalizes the exception map of both the global and project calendar to prevent calendar duplication during the rolldown operation;
• Doesn't build the cache for an entity that is being deleted unnecessarily;
• Stability improvements.
