Merlin Project 4.3.6 Is Released

We have just released the version 4.3.6. This maintenance update is important for both Merlin Project and Merlin Server.

Use "Check for updates …" to download the new macOS versions.

The iOS version 4.3.6 will be available in the App Store soon.

We have also updated Merlin Project Express. The new versions will be provided in the Mac App Store or at SetApp.

Merlin Project: Where to Change the Calculation Unit for Durations?

You use Merlin Project to schedule your projects and keep track of work, resources and cost?

Then you already know how to enter new activities, define them by 'Given Work' or 'Given Duration' as required and/or assign resources. So let's assume that you have two activities; defined one by 13 hours, the other by 4.5 weeks of given work.

You need now to show - maybe for reporting reasons - 'Planned Work', 'Expected Duration', etc by activity or assignment. So you enable the desired column(s) in the outline or Gantt. Merlin Project calculates the information, uses the statistic work values and selects the unit coming nearer to the entered values. That shows the first activity by a planned work of 1.62 days, the other by 1.12 months.

Merlin Project: One File, More Users

You are working with Merlin Project in a team and need to edit the same file?

If so, you know that when you edit for example your data in the 'Work breakdown' and another user is changing to the 'Resources' view, your application will also synchronize the view and show the 'Resources'.

How to work in a team using a shared project file and thereby still have the option of independent views?

Merlin Project: Where to Enter Travel Costs?

You use Merlin Project on the Mac, iPad, or Merlin Project Express to schedule your projects and keep track of work, resources and cost? Then you already know where to check finance information for your various activities.

You need now to record travel costs and don't know where or how to enter them?
