We've introduced new features to improve resource allocation and communication across projects:

  • Resource conflict highlighting: Tasks with overlapping resources across all schedules are now highlighted in red. An information icon allows users to view conflicting schedules and navigate directly to them, enabling quick identification and resolution of resource allocation issues.
  • Estimator notifications: The system now sends notifications to Estimators via ToDo tasks and email when resources for job orders are updated or deleted. This keeps Estimators informed of changes that may impact their work.

Key points to note:

  • For printed purchase orders, updates are not automatic; Estimators must make these changes manually.
  • New ToDo Permissions have been added to Office Role Permissions. These need to be activated for the Estimator's user role to enable the notification feature.

These enhancements streamline resource management, reduce conflicts, and improve communication between team members working on different aspects of projects.
