These releases contain any new features, improvements and bug fixes worked on for this period.
New + Improved
New Client CE workflow - NEC4 ALC
Under the NEC4 ALC contract, multiple companies/parties can create a Compensation Event. Previously FastDraft always prefixed the name of the notification with the party so the communication was always presented as Partner even if raised by the Client. The new workflow will accurately reflect which party has raised the CE.
New Client Claims with Notice workflow - FIDIC
Most of the FIDIC contracts include a workflow that is not present in NEC or other forms of contract. This workflow, Client Claims [known as Employer Claims in FIDIC] has been created for the FIDIC frameworks. This allows a Client to Submit a Notice to the PM [typically known as Employer’s Representative or Engineer in FIDIC, followed by a quote and then depending on the particular FIDIC framework respond in several ways.
Improved logic in Task Order templates
We have updated NEC3 TSC, NEC4 TSC, NEC4 TSSC master templates to avoid users quoting/accepting an extension to Service Period end when they should be agreeing an extension to task completion
Internal Improvements
- The FastDraft reporting API can now be called to retrieve only a set of column headers (i.e. excluding data) and then make a separate call for the data. This will make the Power BI queries more efficient and the refresh completion times quicker. **
- DevExtreme v21 to v23 upgrade **
- ESLint Cleanup **
- Contract Page architecture improvements
Bug fixes
The following bugs have been rectified: -
- Improved error handling when a workflow group already being used in a Master/Contract Template is accidentally removed from the Master Workflows
- We have corrected a formatting issue on Contract Summary Report regarding Hubs with an ampersand in the name. ‘View All’ users were unable to see these contracts.
- We have corrected the bank account register, where fields chosen from the column chooser were removed again after a refresh.
- The Certificates aggregate report has been corrected - previously Notifying Party was missing.
- We have removed an error message that was appearing after uploading a company logo - even though the logo was successfully updated.
