Mobile perceptive move request applications
In version 10.5.2, IBM TRIRIGA Facilities Manager includes new mobile perceptive move request applications that enable new move requests to be quickly and easily submitted. The Move Me application enables users to easily create individual move requests, search for when and where they want to move, select an available room, and submit the request. The new Group Move Request application allows complex moves of groups of people to be initiated using graphical, drag-and-drop selection of people, assets, equipment, and locations.
Gantt scheduler enhancements
- Drag tasks to umbrella tasks
- You can now drag a task to another task and drop it to create an umbrella task. You can then drag other tasks under the umbrella task to create a task grouping.
- Undo/Redo of changes in Gantt scheduler
- You can undo many of the multiple actions that you take in the Gantt scheduler by clicking the
Undo icon on the Gantt toolbar or by pressing CTRL+Z. You can redo many of the multiple actions that
you undo by clicking the Redo icon or by pressing CTRL+Y.
Some of the actions that you can undo in the Gantt scheduler task table are populating and changing fields, and dragging tasks under and out from under umbrella/summary tasks. Some of the actions that you can undo in the Gantt chart are creating and deleting dependencies and resizing task bars. When you save the Gantt, the undo/redo feature is reset. You can no longer undo/redo the changes that you made up until the point that you saved.
- Show baseline on Gantt chart
- You can show the baseline for each task on the Gantt chart by clicking the Show
Baseline check box on the Gantt scheduler toolbar.
A baseline bar is displayed within each task bar. To view the baseline for a task, hover your mouse over the baseline bar. The baseline start and end dates display in the date format that is set in the user profile.
- Gantt scheduler adheres to Enable bidi support in user profiles
- When users select Enable Bidi Support in their user profiles, the Gantt scheduler user interface now reflects this setting. For information on enabling the bidirectional feature, see Setting language preferences in profiles.
For more information, see Gantt Scheduler in the IBM TRIRIGA wiki.
Updated Availability section
The Availability section in the Form Builder, which is used for reserving resources, is now a JavaScript based DHTML component. The Availability section runs in all of the browsers that are listed in the IBM TRIRIGA compatibility matrix. This version of the Availability section replaces the Java applet-based Availability section. Most browsers are no longer supporting Java applets.
