Schedule 26.3 Release Notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 04-MAY-2026.

• Import activity resources via InEight Estimate integration - In Plan view, the Estimate integration has been enhanced so that cost item resources defined in Estimate are now brought directly into Schedule activities. Each cost item converted into a schedule activity includes its associated labor, equipment, and material resources, along with their units and types. Read more

  

  The imported resource data can be used to better understand workload and allow you to adjust activity durations. The imported resources data is read-only, so any resource changes must be made in Estimate and then synced to Schedule. Schedule dates continue to sync back to Estimate for downstream processes such as forecasting.

• Set productivity rate updated UI – In Plan view, go to Smart Planning, and then click the Set Productivity Rate icon in the Remaining (d) field to open the Set Productivity Rate dialog box. On the Productivity Rate tab, the productivity rate values are used to calculate activity duration based on the productivity factors entered. The layout of the dialog box has been redesigned to be more efficient and intuitive while keeping the functionality the same. Read more

  You can enter a quantity, production rate, and cost, then the system quickly calculates activity duration, so it is not necessary at the time to fully build out detailed resources.

  

• Resource driven activity durations – In Plan view, on the Resources tab of the Set Productivity Rate dialog box, you can designate an assigned resource to be the driving resource that determines the duration of an activity. All other assigned resources will automatically adjust to fit that duration. Read more

  

  By default, the system selects the resource with the largest unit quantity, but you can manually choose a different resource by selecting the radio button for the resource. Changes to the driving resource’s unit rate or remaining units dynamically recalculates the activity duration and related Smart Planning fields.

  This driving resource functionality also improves compatibility with P6 and Microsoft Excel import and export integration.

• Fill down feature enhancement – In Plan view > Actions menu, the Fill down functionality considers any applied filters before making changes to the activities. This enhancement prevents any unintended changes from being made to the filtered activities.
