This thoughtful update aims to provide a more comfortable and user-friendly way to manage columns and data.

July 26, 2023

Activity Center Update

License Restrictions for Built-in Integrations

  • With this update, access to the Jira integration (and any future integrations) is now exclusively available for Birdview PSA Team and Enterprise license types.
July 20, 2023

ETC Expenses Calculation Update

  • We have implemented a new calculation for Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) Expenses, which now equals Planned Expenses minus Actual Expenses, or zero if the result is less than or equal to zero. Please note the following changes in related metrics:

ETC Billable Expenses: Billable Planned Expenses minus Billable Actual Expenses.

ETC Not Billable Expenses: ETC Expenses minus ETC Billable Expenses.

  • For projects and parent tasks, ETC Expenses are now the sum of ETC Expenses of their child tasks rather than the sum of Planned Expenses minus Actual Expenses of all child tasks. Similarly, Billable Expenses and Not Billable Expenses follow this new calculation logic. While ETC Not Billable Expenses may yield unexpected results at times, we are considering a future change to calculate it as Planned Not Billable Expenses minus Actual Not Billable Expenses. Please refer to the updated help section for detailed information on the changes.
