RELEASE 2024-38 (Aug 20)


General

New features

  • Widget Template Library: We’re excited to introduce preconfigured widgets to our Custom Dashboard module, making it easier and faster to build your dashboards.

    Previously, setting up a widget required selecting a basic template and manually configuring it with the right data and options. Now, you can choose from a variety of ready-made widgets with pre-set configurations, allowing you to instantly add them to your dashboard without any extra setup.

    We’re actively expanding our widget template library, so keep an eye out for more updates as we add new options to enhance your dashboard experience.

Improvements and fixes

  • Acuite Public API:

    • New Method: You can now retrieve projects by vendor code (external ID).
      For details, visit Projects_GetByVendorCode.

    • Cost Model Enhancements: We've added two new properties —ProjectActualCostToDate and CurrentMargin — to our Cost model. These changes apply to all Cost methods found at Cost Methods.

  • Portfolio Dashboard: We resolved an issue where the bulk update options were missing if all projects had been approved.

  • 1Breadcrumb: We corrected an issue where attendance/induction data sometimes incorrectly assigned to 'Unknown Company.'

Financials

Improvements and fixes

  • Cost Forecasting: We've resolved issues with our advanced forecast entries, such as Lump Sums, where changes were sometimes not saved correctly or could lead to duplicate entries being created.

HSEQ

Improvements and fixes

  • Audits: We fixed an issue where the Responsible Company dropdown wouldn't populate when editing Audits unless the user had elevated permissions

  • Action Plans: Customizable Charts for Action Plans now offer new configuration options, allowing you to control how data is ordered - either by data series name or by count.

RELEASE 2024-37 (Aug 19)


HSEQ

Improvements and fixes

  • We resolved an issue with our Defect Report generator that prevented you from filtering defects by Location.

RELEASE 2024-36 (Aug 16)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • Jobpac: When syncing Project Details from Jobpac, we now offer a configurable option to automatically record when the previous reporting period was locked. This status will then be displayed on cost dashboards.

  • Custom Dashboards

    • We've updated our Custom Tables at project level - the column headings now properly respect the text alignment options chosen for the column.

    • We've added new display options to our Trend Charts - we now have better support for displaying percentages or regular numbers - not just currency values.

RELEASE 2024-35 (Aug 7)


General

Improvements and fixes

Procore Integration Update: We’ve enhanced our configuration to support scenarios where you have access to multiple Procore companies and want to sync two or more with Acuite. Now, any settings configured within our System Settings can be applied across multiple Procore companies.

  • You can now sync projects from multiple companies.

  • You can specify HSE Observation and Incident mappings from multiple companies.

  • When syncing projects from Procore, the correct mappings and configurations will be used automatically.

  • Coming soon: Procore Financials data mapping for multiple companies is not yet supported but will be included in a future update.

IMPORTANT: Currently, we support a single Procore connection. Therefore, the Procore user linked to the integration MUST have access to multiple companies to use this feature.

RELEASE 2024-34 (Aug 6)


HSEQ

Improvements and fixes

  • Action Plans: Our Customizable Chart widgets now let you display Action Plan statuses like 'On Time' and 'Overdue' in different ways.

RELEASE 2024-33 (July 31)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • Portfolio Custom Tables: We fixed a visual issue when customising table column filters - columns on the right side would display the filter dropdown off screen. These dropdowns now automatically adjust position to ensure they are always visible.

  • Custom Dashboards: Dashboards that only contain a single table widget will now expand to fill available space, providing the table content is large enough. This removes gaps at the bottom of the dashboard on large monitors, and on small monitors, may improve scrolling.

  • API: We fixed an error that sometimes occurred when using the Update Company endpoint (PATCH /companies/{id})

Financials

Improvements and fixes

  • Cost Detail Tables & Data: We have added detailed change tracking to all of our cost detail tables and data sources.

    • This change tracking will log all changes to the data, including who changed it (if the change was user driven), what changed, and when.

    • This includes changes from integrations such as Procore or Jobpac, as well as manual changes made via Acuite.

    • The types of data that are now tracked include:

      • Cost & Revenue forecasting

      • WIP changes (e.g. Value of Work Completed)

      • Comments added against individual cost codes

    • These detailed logs are not yet visible to end users, but can be accessed by the support team on request. A future update will allow users to view the change history.

HSEQ

New Features

  • Action Plans: We have added a new Lot Conformance Status chart widget, which can track Action Plans and whether they are on time or overdue. You can select a custom field as the 'work started' date as well as configure how many days before it is due.

Improvements and fixes

  • Action Plans

    • Most Action Plan charts now display data in descending order by value

    • Action Plan Due Date is now selectable in custom tables

  • We fixed a visual issue when selecting 'Show More' in some chart widgets which show the top 10 by default.

General

New Features

  • Jobpac Integration: You can now sync all active projects from Jobpac into Acuite, with configuration options around how to determine a project's active status (e.g. from custom fields). We can optionally auto-archive projects in Acuite when they become inactive in Jobpac.

Financials

Improvements and fixes

  • Custom Tables: We have added new column alignment options to our Cost Custom tables.

Program / Schedule

Improvements and fixes

  • Oracle P6: We fixed an issue that affected some P6 programs where our custom plan types had been assigned to the same activity more than once.

New features

  • Extensions of Time (EoT): We have added the option to create Categories for your Extension of Time (EoT) statistics. Categories can be created that target either approved EoT's or pending/unapproved EoT's. Each category can have assigned days, which will be included in any totals, and optionally shown in various custom dashboard widgets. Currently, this feature mainly applies to EoTs manually edited in Acuite, with integration support to be added soon.

  • Action Plans (Procore): We updated our Action Plan By Month or Week chart with new configuration options, giving you more control over the time periods you want to display data for.

  • Progress Matrix: We resolved an issue where, in some cases, location plans were not displaying correctly for audits tagged against specific locations.

New features

  • Action Plans (Procore): We've added a new widget called Action Plan Section and Items. This widget displays a searchable list of Action Plans and allows you to drill down to view the sections and items within selected plans.

Program / Schedule

Improvements and fixes

  • Oracle P6 / MS Project Integration: We've enhanced our integration for programs with activities/tasks that have a large number of predecessors. For activities/tasks with more than approximately 100 predecessors, the program will still sync, but some predecessor details may be truncated.

    • Date Display Options: Can be shown by 'date claimed' or 'date paid', with adjustments for delayed payment if shown by date paid.

    • Monthly and Cumulative Display: Can target monthly amounts (e.g., Current Payment Due) or cumulative totals (e.g., Total Stored & Completed to Date).

    • Reporting Period Locking: Optionally display claims/invoices that came in after the reporting period was locked.

    • Current Month Display Options: Additional configuration options to display 'actual' cost/revenue or figures based on last month's forecast for the 'current' month.

RELEASE 2024-28 (July 1)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • Project-Level Custom Table Widget Grouping: Added support for grouping in our project-level custom table widgets. Columns can now be marked as available for grouping, allowing users to customize tables and group by one or more columns. Grouped columns support sub-totals when displaying numeric data.\

Financials

Improvements and fixes

  • Financial Integrations: Enhanced various financial integrations. If dashboard locking is enabled and the current month in progress is locked, financial sync will pause until the month ends. This aligns with existing workflows for locking completed months.

Improvements and fixes

  • We resolved an issue with our Cost Forecast widget that occasionally left a few cents unallocated when spreading an amount over multiple months and line items. Now, any remaining amounts that cannot be evenly distributed will be automatically allocated.

  • You can now use filters in our Head Contract Variations tables at the project level, enabling you to display only variations that meet specific criteria. Additionally, you can sort these tables by any visible column.

  • We fixed an issue that occasionally affected our integration with Procore Financials data when WBS segments or codes had lengthy descriptions.

HSEQ

Improvements and fixes

  • We've enhanced our Action Plan sync with Procore. Now, we sync Location data attached to the plans, enabling dashboards and widgets in Acuite to group or filter by these locations, and offering drilldown functionality as well.

RELEASE 2024-04 (January)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • We fixed an issue with the Export to CSV function on our portfolio tables.

  • We also resolved a bug affecting some of our Trend Chart widgets. Without a date filter, these charts are supposed to fetch data from the last 12 months. However, they occasionally failed to select the correct dates. Now, they consistently pull data from the 12 months prior to today’s date (or the selected end date)

RELEASE 2024-03 (January)


Communication

Improvements and fixes

  • We now fetch additional custom fields attached to Correspondence from Procore. For example, if you have Extensions of Time as a Correspondence Type, we can now include data such as the number of approved days. Additionally, we have added more sorting options for listing Correspondence/Mail within Acuite.

RELEASE 2024-02 (January)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • We fixed an issue affecting our portfolio tables when in 'top 10' mode (e.g. to show the top 10 projects by specific criteria).

RELEASE 2024-01 (January)


General

Improvements and fixes

  • We've made a few changes to our portfolio custom tables (e.g. tables that list multiple projects):

    • You can now sort and filter nearly all table columns.

    • These features are accessible through the widget menu and 'Customize Table'. You can select any column and adjust the sorting and filtering settings.

    • By default, filtering applies to the raw values of the column. However, you can configure the table to filter based on conditional formatting rules instead. For example, if you have rules that display a green traffic light, you can choose to filter based on that visual indicator rather than the underlying values.

    • We've expanded our support for sparkline charts. You can now insert columns that display charts showing values over the last 12 months for selected Financials and R&O fields.

Financials

Improvements and fixes

  • Head Contract Variations tables

    • At the project-level, we've added support for Current (month), Previous (month), and Variation columns, enabling you to track recent changes more effectively.

  • Cost Forecast table

    • We fixed an issue that was affecting the cashflow forecast 'spread' functions.
