Flowstate Updates

2026-02-26

This release adds configurable undo windows for effort tracking, a PMS task drill-down, and a critical effort allocation bug fix.

New features

• Configurable undo windows: Admins can now configure how long team leads and approvers have to undo their submissions and approvals. Options range from 1 hour to 7 days, or disabled entirely. Find this under Settings > Cost Review > Cadence.
• PMS project task drill-down: Click any project on the PMS roadmap page to see its individual tasks, with status summary badges, search, filtering, and pagination.

Bug fixes

• Phantom effort on closed projects: Fixed a bug where closed PMS projects could show ongoing effort indefinitely. Tasks whose normalized status didn't match the organisation's source-system status mapping were treated as still active, producing phantom effort percentages long after the project was completed.

2026-02-23

Bug fixes

• Unable to undo effort submission: Fixed a bug where team managers and approvers could not undo their effort submission.
• Incorrect deltas in the forecast: Highlighting of the deltas is now correct when comparing scenarios to the base plan.

Improvements

• Contractor view: A reporting view has been made accessible to Finance and Operations roles which allows approvers to see a summary of where contractors are contributing their efforts.
• Project Management view inside Flowstate: You can now see Azure DevOps work items, Jira epics and Linear projects within Flowstate to see their mappings directly.

2026-02-13

Bug fixes

• In-view search: Fixed a bug where the character input was reversed while the search was processed.
• Effort tracking date select: Fixed an issue where the dropdown menu would not open for some users.
• Vacancies in forecast: Vacancies are now correctly included in the cost forecast table.

Improvements

• Convert vacancy to employee: You can now fill vacancies by converting them to employees, preserving their allocations.

2026-02-12

This release is a broad UI and UX refresh across planning, forecasting, settings, and admin experiences, plus new release notes access and theming support.

New features

• In-app release notes: Read release notes from the sidebar, with access to past releases and a dedicated public endpoint.
• Theme toggle: Switch between light, dark, and system themes from the sidebar footer.
• Quick org menu actions: The organization menu now surfaces Preferences, Organization settings (when permitted), and Log out.
• Searchable week selector: Effort Tracking now includes a dedicated week selector with search and calendar view.

Improvements

• Design language refresh: Updated palettes, typography (mono for numbers), elevation rules, and toast styling.
• Scenario compare/merge clarity: Scenario visuals, headers, and comparison layouts refined for faster scanning and context.
• Effort Tracking usability: Week navigation and team submission views refined for better status visibility.
• Cost forecast tables: Forecast row layouts, expandable rows, and cost cells refined for readability.
• Roadmap and projects: Project timeline and roadmap views refreshed for clearer project presentation.
• Teams views: Team list pages now support parent team filtering and updated team cards.
• Workforce analytics: Charts and report dashboards updated for clearer presentation and interaction.
• Search: Substantially improved search relevance and result presentation across the app.

Fixes
