# October Feature Releases

Check out what was released in October.

## **Organization Settings**

🔹 **Tag Roles with Departments**

Every role in your organization can now carry one or more departments, so an Engineer can live under Civil, Environmental, or both. Open roles inherit that tag, giving you department-based grouping and reporting on staffing needs across Planner and your reports. Start with the roles you staff most and expand from there as it's useful.

🔹 **Build Your Own Time Off Categories**

Set up the time off categories your team actually uses, like Vacation, Sick, or Jury Duty, right from Settings. Everyone picks straight from that list whenever they log or schedule time off, and every entry saves as non-billable automatically. Your existing time off history carries over the moment you turn categories on, so nothing needs to be re-entered.

## **Workload Space**

**🔹 See Open Roles Right in Workload Space**

Open roles now appear in the Workload heat map alongside your team, with the same planned-hours view. Expand a role’s row to see which projects drive its hours and spot staffing gaps before anyone is assigned. Add roles the same way you add team members, so one view tracks capacity across current staff and open positions.

🔹 **Group Workload by Project with Project Lanes**

Turn on Project Lanes from Workload’s display settings to see every project on its own row instead of grouped under each member. Each lane lines up everyone staffed on that project side by side, so you can scan one project’s coverage without hunting across individual schedules. Sort your lanes by project name, project number, or earliest planned start, whichever matches how your team already thinks about its project list.

## **Planner Space**

🔹 **Switch Between Work Plans and Tasks in the Planner Space**

Toggle between your Work Plans and Tasks without leaving the project you're staffing in Planner. Flip over to Tasks to check deliverables against the same timeline you're already using to plan capacity.

🔹 **Planner now lets you condense your Phase and Milestone view**

Filter a project's Planner row down to just the phases and milestones you want to see. The row shows what's hidden, your availability numbers match the filter you've set, and your selection is saved per project, so it's still set the next time you open it.

## **Reports Space**

🔹 **Summary Widgets Across Every Report**

Every report now carries a summary widget alongside its chart and list, so the headline numbers sit right there before you scroll into the detail. Choose which data types show in that summary, giving each report the exact view your team checks most.

## **Projects Space**

🔹**Attach a Proposal to Any Project**

Add a proposal to a project right from its Info tab, either by uploading a file or pasting a link. Upload a PDF, Word, or Excel file up to 20 MB, or paste a link to where the proposal already lives, like Google Drive, with an optional display name to show instead of the raw URL. Either way, the proposal shows up right alongside the project’s other info, so anyone who opens it can get straight to the document that started the work.
