SQLite - Reading SQLite files and converting them into Excel files with global and project data.

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 of these filters are user, layout, or global filters. The sheet also lists the Gantt bars in the layout, if 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 original creators of the filter. This is a key tool for keeping your layouts usable over time.

Task Dissolving - The P6-Loader can now dissolve tasks, keeping relationships working correctly in the project.

Better resource assignment and unique loading options - an auto-assignable UDF in the resource assignments can be used to match UDFs when loading and is assigned automatically when loading and extracting resource assignments.

Record action column - adds the ability to specify which action is expected from that record. For example, if you want to ensure that a given user can only be updated but not inserted, the action would be UPDATE.

Layout backup option - you can now include layouts, reports, changes and filters in the daily P6-Loader backup.

Export shift/shift periods from Primavera P6 and convert shift and shift periods from XER/XML files.

Allow custom "CLEAR" cell values, and the value <CLEAR> is the default value to clean up P6 field values, UDFs, and codes.

Easier to work with hierarchical fields - WBS, Resources, Roles, Codes, EPS, OBS, and Cost Accounts.

Full path extracting and loading for all hierarchical codes makes working with these hierarchies easier in Excel. Several new fields were added including the full code path field and a field showing the level of the hierarchy. This makes building hierarchies in Excel easier and loading them into P6 less error prone. Separator definitions are now also configurable.

Allows importing of WBS with their codes (without needing the path) if they are unique across a project

WBS template fragnet loader - You can take advantage of WBS templates built in P6 within P6-Loader to copy WBS nodes, activities, resources assignments, logic, steps, and expenses from one or many templates and fill in any placeholders for activity ID and names as you generate new WBSs into your project. You can also assign UDFs and codes to WBS, activities and resource assignments while applying a template. This is like the old P3 Fragnets on steroids.

Improving the handling of spread information to allow quarterly and yearly spread extractions are back. Manual spread loading of these spread periods is not supported.

Automatically starts activities when loading resource assignment period actuals.
