Known Limitations

This section contains notes from the Product Managers on specific high-level issues or feature restrictions that are known in the most recent build of Astra Schedule.  These issues are slated for upcoming themed product maintenance releases, but could potentially impact customers that upgrade to this build of the scheduling system.  Please review any issues listed under headings that impact your use of the product prior to installation.

 

 

Calendars:

 

Default Scheduling Calendars – (IN14736) The system is allowing multiple default scheduling calendars to be defined within a role profile and is causing display issues.

Avoid the issue – Make sure to only mark one scheduling calendar as the default. If you are changing which calendar is the default, remove the default flag from one calendar before checking the default on another.

Fix the issue – There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.

 

"My Customized" Calendar Filters Do not Upgrade – (IN 17181) In the older scheduling calendar the user had the ability to create custom filters that once logged in as that user only they could see. Unless they were applied to a calendar definition as a "pre-defined" filter. In the new 7.5.11 calendars these filters do not appear anywhere. They are not in the upgraded calendar definitions. Only the filters applied to calendar definitions (pre-defined) show. The user that has created these customized filters will lose them if they upgrade.

Avoid the issue – This is unavoidable. If a user has created custom filters in previous versions, it does not upgrade to the new Scheduling Grids.

Fix the issue – There is no fix for this issue. Users must re-create personally customized filters.

 

Pre/Post and Setup/Teardown Meetings Cannot be Expanded Nor Use Drag and Drop Functionality – (IN 23614) While event meetings on the calendar may be expanded the pre/post and setup/teardown meetings that are associated to the event meeting cannot be extended out. However, if you expand an event meeting the associated meetings will move with it.

Avoid the issue – These types of meetings must be manually adjusted in the event form.

Fix the issue – There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.

 

Scheduling Grids Switch Days Moving Between Room and Resource View - (IN 17869) If a user selects a different date other than today's date and then switches from the room to the resource view it will change the date between views. It does not remain on the same date as it did in previous builds.

Avoid the issue – This is unavoidable between the room and resource view.

Fix the issue – There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.

 

Embedded Calendar URLs Showing Incorrect Default Filters – (IN 23441) When the scheduling grid calendar has a default filter, the embedded URL calendar is using the same default filter although it has a different one selected for the embedded calendar.

Avoid the issue – Currently unavoidable if this is occurring with your data.

Fix the issue – There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.

 

Events:

 

Setup/Teardown times do not show correctly in the event meeting form if "Duration Reserves Room" is not checked on the service form - (IN 22900) Setup/Teardown times default to the meeting time if "Duration Reserves Room" is not checked on the service record.

Avoid the Issue: Check “duration reserves room” on a service record. Alternatively, the service time can be manually changed on the event meeting.

Fix the Issue: There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.

 

Adding Sections to New Event Request Templates Does not Save Correct Placements - (IN 23622)If a user adds a new section to an event template it cannot be moved down the form. Once the save button is pressed the section immediately moves back to the top of the screen.  

Avoid the issue –  Create a new section in the event request template layout. Add an available field to the section. Save the layout form and close. Edit the template layout again, move the section to the area desired. Edit the section name or display name and save.  New section will remain in place.

Fix the issue – There is no current fix for this issue. It will be addressed in a future version.
