    In your Estimate job’s CBS, you can mark your items as scheduled, and if you want to roll up those items. For example, you can select Civil and Piping Systems as shown in the image below.

    With the scheduled items selected in Estimate, in Schedule you can add a new schedule to the workspace project linked with your estimate using the Add new schedule from Estimate function.

    After the new schedule is created, you can then start to add activity relation logic to your items to schedule the job.

    In Estimate, you can sync the Schedule updates with your Estimate job using the Update Estimate from InEight Schedule function. The Estimate job is updated with Schedule’s activity relation logic changes.

    In Schedule, you can update changes made to your Estimate job, such as updating roll-up selections, using the Update Schedule From Estimate function in Schedule.

    Total cost values from Estimate also integrate with Schedule. This lets you conduct cost risk analysis based on the risk and opportunities in the estimate process.

    On the Cost Risk page, you can import cost risk items from the Schedule WBS structure created through the Estimate integration and start running cost risk simulations for management review.

    For more information, see the InEight Estimate-Schedule Integration document.

  • Sync user admin permissions – When a user in the InEight cloud platform has their permissions updated or a new role is added with administrator permissions (Level 2 or Level 3), then the Administrator permissions are automatically assigned to the corresponding Schedule user.

  • Session timeout – Schedule now complies with the session timeout setting that is configured in InEight cloud platform organization > Settings > General > Global Options. When the Session timeout toggle is set to ON, users are automatically signed out when the specified time is exceeded. By default, the Session timeout toggle is set to OFF.

  • InEight Plan Advanced Work Package data sharing – The availability of AWP data from Plan is now determined by the Advanced work and scheduling features toggle in InEight cloud platform > project > Settings > General > Global Options. You must verify the toggle is set to ON for any existing projects using the AWP feature to ensure continued operation with Schedule. By default, the Advanced work and scheduling features toggle is set to OFF.

    For more information about AWP integration, see the Advanced Work Packaging topic.
