Bug Fix: Auto numbering crashed the application

Due to recent change, when auto numbering of WBS was activated, the creation of a task or a sub task caused the application to crash.

Change: Cash Flow data sheet returned wrong figures when the start date of a project was not set at the beginning of a month

When you had a timeframe sheet feeding the cash-flow data sheet and the starting date of your project was not the 1st of a month (when the granularity of the timeframe was “month”), values were shifted in the cash-flow data sheet and overlapped the next month.

This occurred because the granularity of the time frame imposes to start periods at the beginning of an entire period. E.g.: if granularity is “month” the period must start the 1st day of a month, it it’s “year”, it must start the first day of the year. This is now fixed and when a timeframe sheet feeds a cash-data sheet, the latter is adapted if needed so that the first month of the first period referenced in the timeframe sheet is always displayed.

In below example, the granularity of the time frame is “month” so it matches the granularity of the cash-data sheet (which is always “month”). In this case, a row coming from the planner-data sheet and a row coming from the time-frame sheet return exactly the same figures in the cash-data sheet. Whatever the starting date of the project.

If the granularity of the timeframe sheet is “Quarter” for example, the timeframe doesn’t “know” where a given task starts inside a given quarter and splits the amount equally on the 3 months of the quarter. Following figures are returned.

Bug Fix: Macro buttons didn't display fine when switching from one estimate to another

New: Macro to update description of articles within calling sets

The sample database of sets Sample_Sets_Database.grp located in C:\Program Files\QDV 7\Samples\Databases_Of_Sets\ has been extended with a new sample macro to update descriptions, families, manufacturers and user defined fields in calling sets.

You can use this macro in any database of sets and adapt it if you need to update more fields.

Notice that this macro works only with SQLite databases of articles. We’ll extend it soon to also handle SQL Server databases.
