    Feature Enhancements

    Aggregated Indicators on the manageIndicators Lightning Web Component

    Functional Documentation:

    Aggregated Indicators in Amp Impact

    Aggregated Indicators enable users to aggregate Indicator results from source records. Previously, this functionality was only accessible through the Visualforce (VF) ManageIndicators component. However, in this latest release, users can now generate Aggregated Indicators utilizing the manageIndicators Lightning Web Component (LWC).

    Opting for the LWC over the VF page will lead to quicker loading times during the definition of aggregation criteria for Project Indicators. Additionally, it will provide a cleaner and more consistent user interface.

    Update Aggregated Indicator Results from addResults LWC

    From this release, users would be able to update the Aggregated Indicator results directly from addResults LWC.

    This would provide a more consistent user experience of entering and updating results across Indicators of different result types.

    Calculated Indicators on the manageIndicators Lightning Web Component

    Calculated Indicators allow users to calculate Indicator results from the results of other indicators. In this release, users can create Aggregated Indicators using manageIndicators LWC.

    Users will experience faster load times while defining the calculation formula on Project Indicators and as well as a cleaner and more consistent user interface.

    Update Calculated Indicators Results from addResults LWC

    From this release, users would be able to update the results of Calculated Indicators directly from the addResults LWC.

    This would provide a more consistent user experience of entering and updating results across Indicators of different result types.

    Download & Upload Targets on the setTargets Lightning Web Component

    The Download & Upload Targets template allows users to set targets offline. Previously, this functionality was only accessible through the Visualforce (VF) ManageIndicators component. However, from this release, users can now download and upload targets using the setTargets LWC.

    This means that organizations that use the Download & Upload Targets template to set targets will be able to upgrade to setTargets LWC and take advantage of its features such as setting targets across reporting periods, entering baseline data for indicators, previewing qualitative results, and more.

    Upload Targets Across Reporting Periods

    The Download & Upload Targets template on the setTargets LWC enables users to set targets across reporting periods offline.

    Users would be able to enter targets for all of their indicators at once, as well as to better plan out the intended progress of their project over time while working offline.

    Quickly Create Child Tasks & Milestones on the Activities Lightning Web Component

    To streamline the creation of Implementation Plans, this release includes a new action menu in the Gantt Chart. This menu enables users to create sub-activities directly within the table.

    Users now have the ability to right-click on an activity, which will unveil a range of options. These options include the ability to edit or delete the activity, along with the option to add either a sub-task or a sub-milestone under the selected activity.

    Addressed Technical Debt

    Automation Overhaul: Replacing Process Builders & Workflow Rules with Salesforce Flow

    To leverage the latest advancements in Salesforce technology for automation and offer implementors and System Administrators more customization options, we have transitioned the automation within Amp Impact to Salesforce flows.

    Navigate to the Upgrade Instructions to know more about the process builders and workflow rules that have been transitioned to flows.

    Resolved Issues

    Indicators: Disaggregation Group from the parent Indicator Record is added to the Project Indicator record

    In previous versions of Amp Impact, when a Project Indicator record was created using the Project Indicator related list on the Indicator record (instead of the ManageIndicators VF page or manageIndicators LWC), the disaggregation group was not copied from the parent Indicator to the Project Indicator record. This has been resolved so that the Project Indicator has the same disaggregation as the parent Indicator irrespective of how it is created.

    manageIndicators LWC: When creating a Project Indicator record, the Type of Results is correctly copied from the parent Indicator Record to the Project Indicator record

    In previous versions of Amp Impact, when a Project Indicator was created the value of the Type of Results field was not being copied from the parent Indicator record and was set to Input. This meant that users had to manually update the Type of Results for Aggregated, Calculated, or Read-Only Project Indicators. This has been resolved so the Type of Results field is correctly copied from the parent Indicator to Project Indicator.

    activities LWC: The Baseline Bar correctly displays on the Gantt Chart

    In the previous version (Jarvis) of Amp Impact, the baseline bar wasn't displayed on the Gantt chart on clicking the Display Baseline button. This has been resolved and the baseline bar displays correctly on activities LWC.

    This means that Vera Solutions will no longer enhance or resolve any issues for these components after the component’s corresponding end-of-servicing date.

    Why: We are focusing development efforts on optimizing the new Lightning Web Components as well as introducing new features.

    How: Before a component’s end-of-servicing date, you must migrate to the related Lightning Web Components to ensure you continue receiving regular updates and enhancements to those features.
