Web Application - HxGN Smart Build - Version 5.0 (5.0) - Release Notes/Bulletin

Administration

• We've added a new access permission to Cost Management. Only the right user or team member can see the cost details on a work package. For more information on how and who can control the access, see Assign permissions to roles. (PBI-12027)

• With the new Assign Models setting, you can specify which model files to load automatically in a project for a user. This helps in optimizing model load time and performance. For more information, see Assign default model access to a user and Choose which model files to load. (PBI-17006)

  How does this affect existing projects?

  When you open an existing project, only the model files that you last selected in the Load Model Files > Default column will load automatically. However, you can always select which model files you want to load in the current session using the Loaded column.

  If you want a different model file to load automatically, contact your Smart Build Insight administrator.

Model Management

We've made several enhancements to this feature in this release.
