v17.4 - New Features

Below is a summary of the features included in the PowerSteering v17.4 release. For information about all of the exciting new features that were included in other v17 releases, please see the release notes for v17, v17.1, v17.2, and v17.3.

1. Ability to Enable/Disable the Add to Program Field

Description: The Add to Program field for new work can be enabled or disabled.

Benefit: The Add to Program field on the work creation page was introduced in v17 and gives users the ability to associate new work with one or more programs during creation. Prior to v17.4, this field was automatically enabled for all contexts. The field is only useful for those that are utilizing Program Management; therefore, in v17.4 the field has been disabled by default, and can be enabled by a PowerSteering team member.

Use Case: A company doesn't use Program Management, but saw the Add to Program field on the work creation page after upgrading to v17, which caused some confusion for users. Once upgraded to v17.4, this field will no longer be visible on the work creation page for their context.

Note: By default, this field is turned off and must be enabled by a PowerSteering team member. Please open a ticket via the Support Portal if you would like to have the Add to Program field turned on for your context.
