At Milient, we continuously improve Project Flow to deliver a better and more efficient user experience. 

Changes:


Hours Report Performance Improvements


Why?
Working with large hour reports could sometimes feel slower when reviewing extensive amounts of data.

Improved PDF & Excel Export Experience


Why?
We've improved export functionality to provide more consistent data presentation and 
better formatting in exported documents.

Resource Planning Improvements


Why?
Filtering resources by role in the monthly planning view could sometimes take longer than expected, especially when working with larger datasets.
