Design 25.3 Release Notes

General release is available starting 21-APR-2025.

• Claiming scheme enhancements – On the Configure claiming schemes page, new columns have been added to better manage claiming schemes and quickly identify claiming, claiming scheme status, and associated scope items. Read more

  

  The following new columns are available:

  • Claimed – Shows whether there is any claiming performed on the claiming scheme.

  • Scope item count – Shows the number of scope items associated to claiming schemes.

  • Status – Gives you the option to set the claiming scheme status as Available or Unavailable.

  For more information, see Configure claiming schemes.

• Scope item lock – You can now lock a scope item to prevent further claiming. The feature provides more control for scope items when you do not want claiming performed for selected scope items. Read more

  You can lock the scope item in the scope item slide-out panel to disable claiming on the scope item. To lock the scope item, enable the Scope lock toggle in the scope item slide out panel. A yellow warning icon shows that claiming is disabled because the scope item has been locked. You can lock or unlock a scope item at any time during the process.

  

  You can also use the import function to lock scope items. For more information, see Add a scope item and Edit a scope item.

• Planned man-hours unit rate calculation – In the InEight Control project settings for Design Engineering, you can now select to calculate planned man-hours using CB MHrs/Unit or CE MHrs/Unit from Control. The planned man-hour setting gives you flexibility to manage how planned man-hours are calculated. Read more

  When CE MHrs/Unit option is selected, the planned man-hours is calculated using the CE unit rate from Control. When CB MHrs/Unit is selected, the planned man-hours is calculated using the CB unit rate from Control.

  

  Previously, planned man-hours was calculated using the CE MHrs/Unit rate only. For more information, see Control settings.
