New Features
- Favorite Projects: Easily customize the projects on your Company Dashboard by marking them as favorites. Click the star icon in the bottom-right corner of a project tile to pin it to the top of the list, sorted according to the applied page-level sorting criteria.
- Cumulative View in Monthly Distribution Table: View aggregated data for baseline starts, baseline finishes, current starts, and current finishes. The table now displays cumulative totals, split into actuals (before the data date) and planned (after the data date) for enhanced tracking and analysis.
- New Quality Metrics: Convergence and Divergence Bottlenecks
-
Convergence Bottlenecks: Identifies activities with a high number of predecessors, indicating a critical convergence point that may impact project flow.
-
Divergence Bottlenecks (Flashpoints): Highlights activities with numerous successors, marking them as critical divergence points that could affect downstream tasks.

Bug Fixes & Other Enhancements
-
Should Start/Finish Report:
-
Resolved an issue with the slippage configuration to accurately reflect on-time versus late status.
-
- Critical Path % Filter: New filter created to use configurations from the quality report, leveraging native float and filters.
-
The traditional Critical Path Activities filter continues to use SmartPM’s float calculation.
-
Clicking "View Activities" from the quality report now directs to the Gantt chart with the updated filter, rather than the Critical Path Activities filter.
-
- Unstatused Activities: Enhanced logic to flag ongoing activities as unstatused if their remaining duration is infeasible based on the assigned end date. For example, a file with a data date of 8/22/25, Activity A has 20 days remaining, and an end date of 9/1/25. This activity will now be flagged as unstatused due to the impossible timeline. Previously, only non-started activities with start/end dates before the data date were flagged.
- Cloning Custom Reports: Fixed an issue where cloning a report displayed pre-built templates, forcing users to save before editing. Users can now clone and edit reports in a single action without saving first.
