This Week in Bamboo (September 6th , 2015 – September 12th, 2015)

For this week in Bamboo, we rolled out a major release 2.5 for Time Tracking and Management to the storefront and also released the patch for the following products: Alert Plus, List Rollup, Calendar Plus, Data-Viewer Web Parts, and Workflow Conductor.  For a complete list of the new releases, please see below.

SA12A Time Tracking & Management for SharePoint 2010 Release R2.5.61 (File version 20.5.61)

New Features:

• Option to archive items in the Timesheets list to another location.
• Ability to import user information from the SharePoint User Profile Database to the Timesheet Resources list.
• Enhanced export options, including the ability to schedule exports and the inclusion of the following timesheet columns: Department, Timesheet Comments, and Resource ID.
• New tool allows Timesheet Managers to review resource timesheet submission status and send submission reminders.
• Updated UI streamlines access to user and manager pages with tabbed navigation (My Time / My Resources’ Time).
• Timesheet Entry Web Part modified to remove leading zeros from cells.
• New pre-defined alert available to notify users if a change was made to their timesheet by the approving manager.
• Display on the following pages updated to group timesheet period:

• My Approved Timesheets
• My Submitted Timesheets
• My Rejected Timesheets
• Approved Me
• Rejected Me

•  Streamlined timesheet approval web part only displays project tasks that resources have entered time against.

Includes the updated version of the following products:

• HW24 List Rollup version 7.0.130
• HW05 Alert Plus version 4.0.84

Resolved Bugs:

• Timesheet Period Status column was not updated when timesheets were Auto-approved.
• Timesheets were not saved when the “Collapse all the Project  Name groups default” option in the Timesheet Entry Web Part was enabled.
• If one item in the timesheet tasks list did not have a due date, some items in the list with due dates may not have been displayed in the Timesheet Entry Web Part.

NOTE:  By design, tasks without due dates are not displayed.
• When the due date has no value on one or more tasks, Time Entry Web Part does not list all assigned tasks.

New Known Issues:

• When PM Central 4.3 (SP2010) is integrated with TTM 2.5, reports that get content from TTM and are rendered in PM Central display an error message.
• Javascript error is displayed on the Timesheet Entry page when accessed with IE 10 on UAG.   This error is caused by the IE configuration.   See the link below for information on how to resolve this:    http://www.itsupportforum.net/topic/internet-explorer-automation-server-cant-create-object/
• If using TTM in HTTPS/UAG environment with IE 10,  Bamboo recommends using Compatibility mode.
• When using IE11, once a report is generated and filtered you cannot filter a report with a new set of criteria. Workaround is to reload the page.
• After upgrading for TTM 1.7 to 2.0 the error message “Access Denied: You must have Full Control or be a member of a Report Center group to view the reports.” is displayed when the logged-in user belongs to an AD group that was granted permission to the Report Center via the Reporting.aspx and the Web Part’s Permissions Settings. To resolve the issue access the Report Center Web Part’s configuration tool pane, then click Save > Apply > OK.

New Limitations:

• The Resource ID cannot get value if Timesheet User is a SharePoint group or AD group.
• User Interface – If the header column width is narrowed down, the text of the grid footer will be cut off. This is the limitation of the Telerik rad grid control.
• Grouping is case-insensitive in Report Center reports. For example, in a report that groups timesheet data projects, data from two different projects with the names “Project A” and “project a” will be grouped together.
• When adding views to the Report Views field for an item in the Report Configuration list, view names are case-sensitive. For example, “Approved Timesheets” and “approved timesheets” are not the same. The text must match the view name configured in the Timesheet list exactly.

SA12A Time Tracking & Management for SharePoint 2013 Release R2.5.61.2013 (File version 20.5.61.2013)

New Features:

• New tool allows Timesheet Managers to review resource timesheet submission status and send submission reminders.
• Updated UI streamlines access to user and manager pages with tabbed navigation (My Time / My Resources’ Time).
• Timesheet Entry Web Part modified to remove leading zeros from cells
• New pre-defined alert available to notify users if a change was made to their timesheet by the approving manager.
