Bug Fix: WBS to BoQ relation window

Under specific conditions, when entering into WBS to BoQ relation window, Apply button remained grayed out.

New: Permissions for individual columns in the overhead sheets

The columns in the overhead sheets have one of the predefined types, such as Mnemonics, Costs, Selling, Selling factor, etc. There may be multiple columns of the same type on one sheet, whether they are native non-removable columns, or the columns added by the user.

For example, the MATERIAL sheet contains native columns I and J of the type “Selling factor”. Additionally, the user could add another column M of the same type:

clip0916

All these columns were controlled by the single permission “Selling factor” in the profile dialog.

clip0914

So, it was impossible to define different permissions for each user-added column individually.

The new version introduces this possibility. There is an individual permission for every column that was added by the user. The old permission is still used for the native columns of the same type.

This way it is now possible to specify the individual permission for the column M from the example above:

clip0915

Bug Fix: Data\Excel\Export to Microsoft Excel – missing data in sheets with ‘!’ in its name

BoQ sheets which contained columns with formulas like GetDataFromMinute or GetDataFromWBS and also contained ‘!’ in its name had missing data in these columns after export to MS Excel.

Bug Fix: Export of distribution curves didn’t take decimals into account on some systems

Files of type .qdvcurve were exported with the decimal separator of the system but were always expected in English at reading time (the decimal separator expected is a dot). Now files are always exported with a dot as decimal separator for compatibility with all system settings.

Change: Can uninstall any specific version of the product

The entry in the Uninstall key (Add / Remove programs) contains now the full version number E.g.: 7.23.1083 instead of 7.23. So when we install multiple versions in different folders, we keep an entry in the uninstall registry for each version being in a different folder. Then we can easily remove a specific version using windows uninstall functions.

Bug Fix: ToolsForExcel Gantt – Don’t allow free task on a branch

If a row coming from QDV is a branch, we must not allow inserting a free task directly under this row. Fixed.

Bug Fix: ToolsForExcel Pricing and Distribution – Hidden columns

The hidden columns (marked as ‘Hide in Tools for Excel’) were not excluded from the lists of fields. Fixed.
