Schedule 26.5 Release Notes

This is a preview of the upcoming release. General release is available starting 06-JUL-2026.

  • New field in Resource assignments — In Plan view, a new field for At Complete has been added to activity resource assignments. The At Complete field shows the total of remaining units plus actual units for the resource. The new field helps you see if the resource went over or under budget compared to what was planned for better tracking and analysis of resource usage.

  • New activity resource related fields — In Plan view, two new fields have been added to the resource grid that help break out totals by labor and non-labor categories for the selected resources. The At Complete Labor Units shows the total for labor resources and At Complete Non-Labor Units shows the total for non-labor resources, such as materials, for each activity.

    The new fields are only available in the resource grid and were added to provide more granular tracking and reporting based on resource type.

  • Resource histogram filtering — The resource histogram in both Plan view and SIP view now considers any applied queries and filters out those records from showing in the totals. This change improves accuracy by reflecting only the relevant activities in the histogram.

  • SIP CPM Breach annotation — In Plan view, a new annotation option for SIP CPM Breach has been added to the Annotations menu that shows activities which have SIP steps outside of the activity dates. ClosedRead more

    The feature is designed to help identify and address misalignments and lets schedulers see the information directly in Plan view. This allows better coordination between field users and schedulers so they can review and adjust activities as needed.

    New activity related fields have been added for SIP CPM Breach, SIP Start, SIP End, SIP Units % Complete, Variance — SIP Start, and Variance – SIP End. When a SIP CPM Breach field is set to Yes in an activity, it is visually flagged with a red calendar icon in the Gantt chart and highlights where SIP activities are out of alignment with scheduled activities.

    The variance between SIP and activity dates shows how many days SIP is over or under the scheduled duration.

  • Improved printing performance — Enhancements have been made in Plan view to address slow print times, especially for large items to print to PDF.

  • Improved XER import performance — In Plan view, the XER import has been optimized to handle large volumes of codes and data more efficiently to reduce import times.

  • Microsoft Project activity import — When you import Microsoft Project in Plan view, it now includes activity codes and activity UDFs.
