PULSE Dashboard 5.64.0.0 — Release Notes¶

This release introduces several productivity enhancements to PULSE Dashboard along with a set of stability and correctness fixes. The new drilldown on the MRP Orders Causing Shortages report helps planners pinpoint the cause of a shortage in a single click, a new set of module-level actions lets users refresh, save and share, publish, reset, or load an entire module's worth of dashboards in one step, fiscal date columns are now available for fixed-start fiscal calendars, saved tabs can be loaded in bulk from a zip file, and every reporting box gains an information button.

Summary of changes¶

What's new¶

MRP Orders Drilldown — Double-click any row on the MRP Orders Causing Shortages report to open a focused MRP Details view filtered to the relevant item, location, and week. Includes color coding for shortfalls and a sensible default layout.
New Module-Level Actions — Refresh, save and share, publish, reset to defaults, or load an entire module (Executive, Financial, MRP, and others) in one step. Reached by right-clicking the module tab header.
Fiscal Date Columns for Fixed-Start Fiscal Calendars — Fiscal Week, Fiscal Month, Fiscal Quarter, and Fiscal Year columns are now available for companies whose fiscal year begins on the first day of a fixed calendar month. Fiscal years are labeled by the year in which they end.
Load Tabs from a Zip File — Load from file... now accepts zip archives in addition to individual .ptab files, loading every saved tab in the archive at once with a clear summary if any entry fails.
Report Information Button — A new i button on every reporting box identifies the report at a glance, and lays the foundation for one-click access to per-report help.

Bug fixes¶

Right-click menu on module tabs after switching users — Resolved an issue that caused module-tab right-clicks to stop responding after using the Log in as User dropdown.
Incorrect fiscal date labels on custom fiscal calendars — Fiscal date columns now use the exact period start and end dates defined in the calendar, fixing wrong labels near period boundaries on 4-4-5 and other custom layouts.
Stray "Connection Successful" message during first-time setup — Removed a misleading popup that appeared after a successful first-time connection.
Unresponsive filter options in the quick links menu — Filter Editor..., Just Me, and Everyone now respond when clicked.
Audible beep and error when entering administrator mode — Pressing Enter at the password prompt no longer triggers the Windows error sound.
Tab row shifting when right-clicking a reporting tab — Right-clicking a reporting tab no longer causes the tab row to shift, and the menu opens on every tab including the last one.
