Add “Hide Contractor Details” Option to Schedule Settings for Client Schedule View – Update
We’ve added a new setting “Allow clients to view task assignees,” under the Client Access section of the project and branch master Settings pages.
- When this setting is on, and only if you’ve given your client access to view visible schedule tasks, the schedule tasks’ staff and contractor/supplier assignees are visible to the client – when this setting is off, clients will not be able to see who is assigned to scheduled tasks.
- This setting is turned off by default.
Add Task End Date on Mobile App Schedule View – Update
- Task end dates have been added to the task details– when viewing these via the mobile app.
Extend “Schedule Editing” Permission Logic to Site Managers – Update
A new permission “Schedule editing” has been added for the site manager, which is on by default. When it is off, site managers can view the schedule, but they cannot add or edit tasks, and they can only change the status of the tasks that are assigned to them. They can still add comments to all of the tasks in the schedule.
As a part of this update, a few other changes have been done at the branch user and site staff user levels:
- When a branch user does not have schedule editing permission, the Branch user can only add comments and change the status of their own tasks i.e. they can view but cannot add comments on other tasks.
- Site staff can always add comments and change the status of their own tasks, but they cannot add comments on tasks that are not assigned to them.
Allow Sorting on My Tasks Table – Update
- All columns can now be sorted on your “My Tasks” table.
More Project Details included in Schedule Emails & Notifications – Update

Show Approved Quotes rather than Estimated Quotes on Financial Reports – Rave Financial Update
