Change 25.11 Release Notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 29-DEC-2025.

Updated 11-DEC-2025

  • Allow or disallow negative values in the current budget configuration – You can now indicate whether to allow or disallow the New CB total cost field to support negative values. Previously, this was not configurable, and negative values were always allowed. ClosedRead more

    The Current budget configuration setting has been added to Settings > Configurations > Pricing configuration at the organization and project levels.

    When the field is set to Yes, the New CB total cost field allows negative values. When the field is set to No, the New CB total cost field does not allow negative values. In the organization settings, you can indicate whether to allow projects to edit Current budget configuration. This option is enabled only when the Current budget configuration is set to Yes.

    When negative values are not allowed and you try to submit a budget move or execute a change order, Change calculates whether the budget move or change order execution could force the CB total cost field to be negative based on the sum of the cost items across all items in Change. When the action might results in a negative value, a warning message shows that lists all issues in Change that use the cost item. You must revise or remove the cost item from associated issues before the budget move can be submitted to InEight Control. Actions that have a positive value are permitted and are not shown in the warning message.

    The warning message includes all issues on the pricing page with the same WBS codes. Items that have been sent to Control are also shown. For example, if the budget for a cost item is $400 dollars, and you submit a budget move for $-250 for issue AA, Change might show the following message:

    The message shows Issue AA and all other issues with the same cost item that are not yet accepted in Control that might cause the cost item to have a negative value. You must review and update the issues in the list to ensure issue AA will not cause the cost item to be a negative value and can be sent to Control.

    If there is workflow for the budget move or CCO execution, Change shows the message before workflow begins.

  • Edit the Adjusted Mhrs field for existing Plug cost items – You can now edit the Adjusted Mhrs field when you edit an existing plug cost item, so you can adjust man hours or the labor cost category. ClosedRead more

    When you update the Adjusted MHrs field, Change prompts you to select whether to recalculate the Labor cost/Mhr or Labor total cost field.

  • Add unassigned pricing items at PCO and CCO levels – You can now add unassigned pricing items from a PCO or CCO. Previously you could only add unassigned pricing items at the issue level. ClosedRead more

    When adding an unassigned item at the PCO or CCO level, the only required field is the Cost pricing field.

  • Add unassigned pricing items option added to right-click context menu – You can now add an unassigned pricing item from the context menu shown when you right-click in the Pricing page grid. This option is available at the Issue, PCO, and CCO levels. ClosedRead more

    At the PCO and CCO levels, Edit cost item pricing and Delete cost item pricing options were also added to the context menu when you right-click a cost item. You can only delete cost items from the level the cost item was added. The option is disabled when you right-click an item added at a lower level.

    You can edit a cost item that was added at the current level. If the cost item was added at a lower level, you can view the Edit cost item slide-out panel, but you cannot edit it.

  • Add vendors to unassigned pricing items at the PCO and CCO levels – You can now add a vendor to an unassigned pricing item created at the issue from a PCO or CCO. The added vendor shows in the pricing summary. ClosedRead more

    The tree structure in the Pricing summary Vendor total section shows where the vendor was added.

  • Indicator shows at WBS selection when a vendor has already been pushed to cost item pricing – On the issue Details page, when you select vendors to push to cost item pricing, the Select WBS to push to cost item pricing dialog box now shows a blue dot next to the WBS phase codes for phase codes that have already been added. ClosedRead more

  • Pricing page Value type column – The Value type column has been added to the Pricing page. The column lets you quickly view or change the value type (that is, ROM, Estimate, Agreed, or Proposed) for the cost item. You can also add or update the value type on the Details page of the Edit cost item slide-out panel. ClosedRead more

    Values set on the Pricing page or in the Edit slide-out panel show in the pricing summary in the Estimate column. The value type on the Issue log is not affected by the value type in cost item pricing or on the Pricing summary page.

    On the Pricing page, you can only edit the Value types for cost items that were added at the current level. For example, if you are on the Pricing page at the CCO level, you can only update the Value types for cost items added at the CCO level.

  • Browse through cost items – When you view the details for a cost item, you can now go to a different cost item without closing the slide-out panel and starting over. ClosedRead more

    Previous and Next buttons and a drop-down list of all cost items have been added to the Edit cost item slide-out panel.

    You can click the Previous or Next button to browse the cost items for an issue in order. Use the drop-down list to go directly to the Edit page for a cost item without scrolling forward or backward.

    When you make changes to a cost item and then go to the next item, the Edit slide-out panel closes temporarily to apply the changes and then opens to the next cost item. The changes show in the Pricing grid, but you must click Save to save them.

  • PCO and CCO Pricing page updates – The CB total cost has been added to the PCO and CCO Pricing page to be consistent with the Pricing page for issues.

  • Negative percentages in markups – You can now enter a negative value for a markup percentage.

  • Cost item collection tables tags – New collection tables and tags for Contract cost items and Parent cost items have been added to Change.

  • *Release 26.1 Change writer changes – As part of the upcoming 26.1 release, the Change writer will update how data is output in Microsoft Excel templates. This change might require you to review and update number field formats in your templates and republish them as new versions. ClosedRead more

    What's changing?

    Currently, value tags in Excel files are replaced with numbers rounded to two decimal places. Starting in 26.1, value tags will include the full precision stored in the database up to 15 decimal places.

    What you need to do:

    • Apply Excel Number Formatting to the relevant cells in your templates to control how many decimal places are displayed and customize the number format as needed.

    • Republish updated templates after the release goes live.

    Microsoft Word templates are not affected by this change.
