P6-Auditor v5 - New Release

New audits - UDF value, project, activity and code assignments

Users can be configured into categories. For example, P6-Internal, Standard, API, or by department, or by whichever criteria is needed. The User Category column is shown in all reports where there is a user column, and it is possible to filter by it.

It is possible to configure UDFs and code changes to be reported with the corresponding project, activity or resource record

Added the ability to easily limit the range of events retrieved from the server - for example, for the past 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

UI changes - the reports are now all shown on the left side of the auditor web application and are grouped by type/subject leaving more space for the reports on the right side of the page

The EPS auditing now includes changes made to all records in the PROJWBS table, and it includes a column that shows the type of object that was changed

Added the ability to freeze columns. You can freeze 1 to 5 columns and those will always be visible when scrolling.

Automatic Report Package Generator - Functionality to generate a report package that contains a number of output chart images, a Word report, and an Excel report. The report package can be run and customized from the analyze tab.

The UI of the sensitivity analysis tab has been updated. It now also allows you to run sensitivity against a schedule summary and against the schedule types duration and start date.

Cost Module - It's now possible to have more than one top node and to set the type for each top node.

The import of external files now allows three options when updating an existing project: overwrite, update, and append.

Distribution Graph - It's now possible to set the target to the value of a user field. This allows you to set up target dates for all the activities in the schedule.

Notebook scrubbing - remove unwanted notebook types and/or rename them

Groups related projects together.

Analyzes the order in which key resources move between projects and groups in P6.

Automatically builds and maintains a project code hierarchy that shows the groups and projects in the order in which key resources visit them.

Automatically builds and maintains logic between projects and between groups that models the movement of these key resources.

Automatically adds or removes optional activities on the first or last project in a group to represent resource setup or teardown time.

Flags projects with an alert indicator UDF if required activities are missing.

XML support! Now the P6-Scrubber can scrub XER or XML files.

Simple prefix - lets you add a prefix to global objects such as resources, code types, UDFs, calendars, etc. to identify where it came from.

XML sanitation - when scrubbing an XML file, its contents are saved accordingly to the XML schema file. If the file cannot be imported into P6 EPPM because of schema errors, processing the file with the P6-Scrubber may fix it.

Version control - setting the version you are uploading back into P6 is now in the GUI for easier control for both XER and XML importing.

Parent role & resource - to land all the resources and roles in the scrubber file under a specific role or resource in the P6 database.

OBS definition - it is possible to choose an OBS that will be associated to the project when it is imported when scrubbing XER files.

SSO/ SAML support - if you are using SSO/ SAML for your P6 Cloud environment, you can perform SSO/ SAML login with the P6-Scrubber.

Automation! The P6-Loader can now export files to the P6-Loader Excel and P6 XML (or both) formats on a daily and/or weekly and/or monthly frequency.

Global data automation - if automation is turned on for a given database, a full export of the database's global data is performed every day - it includes EPS, OBS, resources, roles, users, code dictionaries, UDF types, risk definitions, etc.

The list of tasks is not cleared when the P6-Loader is restarted.

P6 XML support - the P6-Loader can now export files to the P6 XML format.

Restore and administer your data more easily - with the ability to download the project and global files for a database as it was at a given point in time, recovering lost data and administering the database becomes much easier.

Resource assignment duplicate handling! It is now possible to load resource assignments even if you have duplicates in your P6 database. You can use the internal ID of the resource assignment or pick one or more UDFs to help the P6-Loader match the right one.

New charts for resource allocation - see at a glance which resources are overallocated, then select a resource to see which dates are affected, which projects are using it, and how much float you have in each.

Gantt charts - select a resource and view how it is allocated across a series of projects.

Milestone Trending - see any of your milestones across your portfolio: where they're planned to be, where they are now, and if they're behind, how quickly you can expect to get caught up.

The date format used in file and folder names is now configurable.

Naming rule overrides can now be defined in a separate file, making it easier to keep track of which rules have been customized and which are the defaults.

More specific naming rules always take precedence over less specific rules, allowing naming rules to be defined in any order.

XML support! Now the P6-Scrubber can scrub XER or XML files.

Simple prefix - lets you add a prefix to global objects such as resources, code types, UDFs, calendars, etc. to identify where it came from.

XML sanitation - when scrubbing a XML file, its contents are saved accordingly to the XML schema file. If the file cannot be imported into P6 EPPM because of schema errors, processing the file with the P6-Scrubber may fix it.

Version control - setting the version you are uploading back into P6 is now in the GUI for easier control for both XER and XML importing.

Parent role & resource - to land all the resources and roles in the scrubber file under a specific role or resource in the P6 database.

OBS definition - it is possible to choose an OBS that will be associated to the project when it is imported when scrubbing XER files.

SSO/ SAML support - if you are using SSO/ SAML for your P6 Cloud environment, you can perform SSO/ SAML login with the P6-Scrubber.
