    Release summary

    This release introduces improvements to how applications for payment can be managed on projects that use subzones, along with a usability enhancement when swapping materials or labour activities within a product.

    The goal of this release is to give you greater flexibility when preparing applications for payment while also improving the usability of Rate Build Ups when making changes to materials or labour activities.

    Why these changes matter

    Greater flexibility when valuing work
    You can now adjust application values at parent zone level even when a project uses subzones.

    Better usability in Rate Build Ups
    Swapping materials or labour activities no longer disrupts the order of items in the list.

    Enhancements

    Adjust Application for Payment Values on Subzone Projects

    You can now manually adjust application for payment values at parent zone level on projects and assessments that use subzones.

    Previously, this option was only available on projects without subzones. With this update, the same functionality is now available across all project types.

    Benefit: Gives users the flexibility to manage their applications accurately at every level of the project hierarchy.

    Materials and Labour Activities Stay in Position When Swapped

    When swapping a material or labour activity within a product, the item will now remain in its original position in the list.

    Previously, swapped items would move to the bottom of the list. With this improvement, the original ordering is maintained.

    This behaviour applies when swapping items from within a product template in the Rate Build Up.

    Benefit: Maintaining the original order makes it easier to review and manage Rate Build Ups without needing to reorder items after making changes.
