| DevTrack - What's New in version 6.2 |
Improved Graphical Workflow Editor A new graphical workflow editing tool allows multiple selection of states and transitions, automatic path-finding between states, quicker load times, and more customization options. Rule-based Event Workflow Automation Users can now create more flexible and granular rules to automate events. Based on these rules, events can create new issues that inherit properties of their parent issue, create other events, or perform workflow actions automatically. Password Protection for Web Query Reports Users can now opt to require viewers of a Web Query report to login to DevTrack. Issue Work Estimates New system fields have been added which allow developers to enter their time spent, time remaining, and anticipated issue completion date. These fields can be tied to workflow rules. For users of DevPlan, this information can roll-up to the project plan, allowing project managers to see the estimated completion time of tasks within a subproject. Enhanced Web Service API Users of DevTrack’s LinkPlus API can now call the DevTrack Web Service in order to integrate with third party applications. New functions have been added to interface with the release management features within DevTrack. Administrator Division Support Project administrators can now be grouped in divisions and assigned permissions based on the projects they administer. This more granular approach allows users to limit the actions administrators can perform. Enhanced Automation between Projects DevTrack 6.2 introduces nested automation rules between linked issues in other projects. This enhanced support allows for changes in one projects to automatically trigger a change in another project, and then have that automated change trigger other actions in a nested chain. Installation Improvements Changes to the DevTrack installers simplify the process of setting up a DevTrack system. Administrator Performance Enhancements All pages in the administrator have been enhanced to perform quickly even in low bandwidth or distributed environments.
