Improvements and fixes
When viewing custom Audit dashboards (HSE, Quality, or Relationships), the filter options for Audit Templates now include deleted templates, as long as audits have been performed using those templates. This enables you to view audits from the past, even if the associated template has been deleted or replaced with a new version.
Financials
Improvements and fixes
Jobpac updates: We’ve updated our Jobpac integration for syncing Cost Detail data (e.g., Cost Codes). We now exclusively retrieve data from the BFM API module, offering improved support for syncing previous periods if needed. As a result, some of the available fields for syncing may have changed names.
Please reach out if you need assistance with the transition.
RELEASE 2024-47 (Oct 29)
General
Improvements and fixes
We have updated our Custom Trend Chart and Custom Metric widgets, with support for HSE Events by Custom fields.

Portfolio Custom Tables - Conditional Formatting
We’ve resolved several issues with the conditional formatting logic. Now, if you have multiple columns displaying the same data for different time periods or multiple custom formulas with the same column labels, you can configure each column independently without any conflicts.
Program / Schedule
New features
IMPORTANT: Users require the 'Can manually update Key Dates, EOT's and Separable Portions' permission, under the 'Kpi Time' group.
Separable Portions (BETA version)
We are excited to introduce the concept of Separable Portions in Acuite.
A Separable Portion can include any field from our Project Dates model, as well as Program (Schedule) Custom Fields. This means you can incorporate elements like start & finish dates, weather allowances, LD Rates, and more.
When enabled, projects can create one or more Separable Portions, complete with names and numbers. Each portion's individual fields can be edited, with values tracked over time.
You can display these fields in our Custom Table widget by selecting the 'Time: Separable Portion' data type.
For projects with defined Separable Portions, the table will show one row per portion, along with any configured fields.
For projects without Separable Portions, the table will display 'overall' figures by pulling values from the project itself.
RELEASE 2024-45 (Oct 4)
General
Improvements and fixes
CSV Exports for Cost data
When exporting Cost data to CSV (System settings > CSV Integration), you previously could only export the latest cost records. Now, you have the option to export historical data as well, which will include the latest cost records for each available month for every project.
RELEASE 2024-44 (Oct 2)
General
New features
Copy/Paste widgets
This feature will significantly save time for Admin users by allowing them to easily copy widgets from one custom dashboard and paste them into another.
You can copy individual widgets through the widget menu while editing a dashboard (see below)
You can also copy all widgets on a dashboard using the '...' menu while in edit mode.
Widgets can then be pasted onto a dashboard using the '...' menu (see below)
Newly pasted widgets will appear at the bottom of the current dashboard.
Financial
Improvements and fixes
Revenue & Cost Forecasting
Current Month Forecasting
We’ve introduced an option for 'current month' forecasting for customers who want to utilize it.
By default, Cost and Revenue forecasts start from 'next month.' However, with this option enabled, users can now set their cash flow forecasts for the current month.
The forecast cost or revenue for the current month can then be optionally displayed on Cashflow Comparison or Forecast Comparison charts.
Timing update for changes application
In the Revenue Forecast table, adjustments to cash flow values were sometimes applied while you were typing, leading to unexpected recalculations.
To improve this, we’ve modified all manual input fields so that changes are applied when the field loses focus (e.g., when you tab away or click outside the field).
Program / Schedule
Improvements and fixes
Task Progress Charts
We’ve introduced a new configuration option that lets you display the sum of a custom field instead of counting the projects that have completed the selected tasks.

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.

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

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.
