What's New in Web Resource 2.5

The following new features are available in version 2.5 of Web Resource:

  • The ability to transfer project data to Web TimeSheet
    Project information, including task outlines and resource assignments, can be transferred to Web TimeSheet by �publishing� the data. This provides users the opportunity to manage their resources in Web Resource and transfer the data on a regular basis to Web TimeSheet to allow users to book time against their tasks.
  • The ability to import project data using a CSV file
    Large volumes of project data can be added to Web Resource quickly using the new project import feature. To import project data, information such as task structures and resource assignments are specified in a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file and the file is then imported into Web Resource. In addition, project data can be exported from Microsoft Project� to a CSV file in the format required for import into Web Resource.
  • Three new resource management reports
    Three reports have been added to Web Resource, including the Resource Availability report, which provides the percentage of each resource's time that remains available during a specific time period, as well as the skills of each available resource. The new Skills Matrix report displays the skill levels associated with each resource in a grid format. Finally, the Placeholder report provides information on placeholder assignments for a specified time period.
  • A new calendar providing a high level view of project scheduling
    The Project Scheduling Calendar provides an overview of when projects are scheduled and their duration.
  • Customizable project statuses
    Users can now create custom project statuses, which can be assigned to projects to mark the stage a project is in or the status of its implementation.
  • Color coding of calendars based on project status or project type
    Many of the calendars available in Web Resource, including My Calendar, the Resource Calendar, and the new Project Scheduling Calendar, can now be colored based on project status or project type for easier recognition of key information.
  • Resources can modify their own skills
    Resources are now able to personally edit the skills and skill levels that have been assigned to them. Access to this feature can be controlled through permission types.
