Deployment Plan Library Pop Up Enhancements

Clicking the blue-linked name of the Deployment Plan opens the redesigned Deployment Plan Library pop up.

• Previously, the Deployment Plan Library pop up looked like this, with the Deployment Plan Information, the RACI Matrix and the Deployment Activities all in the same pop up window.
  
• Now, the redesigned Deployment Plan Library pop up is faster and more stable because the Deployment Plan Information , RACI Matrix , and Deployment Activities  are now found under separate tabs (on the left).
  
• The Deployment Plan Information  tab has:
  • A redesigned Activity Summary.
    
  • A redesigned Actual Duration vs Planned Duration.
    
  • New functionality: Remaining Duration: The amount of time left before the end of the final activity.
    
  • Soon, clicking on the Broadcast buttons under Actual Duration and Remaining Duration will send emails.
• The RACI Matrix  tab shows the list of stakeholders, their contact numbers and whether they are online or offline.
  
• The Deployment Activities  tab shows the list of Activities.
  
  • Clicking to select an Activity makes the Activity’s details appear in the form on the right, where they can be edited if you have the correct user permissions.
  • New functionality: Under the Activity details form are two new toggle switches:
    
    Is this a milestone? Click to select if the Activity is a milestone.
    Is this optional? Click to select if the Activity is optional and there is no need to complete it before you can mark the Deployment Plan as complete.
  • Deployment Activity Additional Information fields appear at the bottom of the form.
• New functionality: Real-time notification of updates. Now users who try to update an Activity that someone else is currently updating will:
  • Receive a pop up message telling them who is updating the Activity.
  • Be prevented from saving over the other user’s changes.
