ARCHIVE TASKFIT RELEASES

AUGUST 2001

i. Access for general users:

  • General users can now access the Virtual Tray, Work Remaining, Upgrade Progress, Reviewer Report, and Work by Task reports.  General users can also save WTI details including the description and resolution, so all users can now record resolution details as previously described.

ii. Upgrade progress report:

  • You can now select results limited by the date of the latest change, and the information about the latest change now includes the time.  Upgrades of "In Code Review" are now included if you don't specify a status.  Also, the dropdown has been reworded, as the default option is all ACTIVE statuses, not all statuses.  Note that you can still check upgrades of any status by selecting the status from the dropdown.

Upgrade form:

  • Reviewer comments at the end were being truncated; now the field is a text block.  Also, a text field has been added for comments on Plan settings.

New report - Current Work by Task:

  • This report is to improve coordination between work being done for different clients at the same time.  It answers the question, "which clients are working on X task?" in the hopes that work can be more effectively allocated.  The report includes all WTIs where the sort indicator is less than 5 (open WTIs)

DBS process:

  • A new flowchart has been released to BAs for comment (see separate email).  A new audit report has been created.

Procedural changes:

  • When new work is being specified, you should check the Current Work by Task to see if work is being done in this area for other clients; you should also check for any compliance items that could be addressed in the course of this work, as these can now be retrieved by company and status.

Test plans:

  • You can now upload documents to Test Plans (and these have been renamed from Test Logs).

Uploading documents:

  • You can now upload documents with names longer than 60 characters.

Bug in timesheet form:

  • Corrected so that if you retrieve an existing entry, but have a different company selected, it reverts to "All" so that you can retrieve and save it correctly.  WTIs disappear from the dropdown now when the project or phase is closed (but not the DBS), as well as if the WTI is closed.  Note that this once again sorts by company if no company is selected (this was fixed some time ago - between the last release and this one.)

Project button:

  • You can now go straight to the relevant Project from the Phase or DBS forms.

Layout modifications:

  • These were done sometime since the last release, mostly to the colours used.  These have been introduced to make TASKfit conform better to corporate style.

One further note from last release:

  • As part of the resolution field setup, in July, old action data was moved to the Description to make way for resolution details.
