The information provided here is grouped by the features' "state".

New features in a turned-on State

The following three features are in a turned-on state. These features have minimal impact on the user, but would have potentially destabilized the code if they had been created in a turned-off state:

Viewing total project assignment contour per resource
Project Managers and Resource Managers can view the original daily affected hours at the project level and total assigned at the task level for each resource in all work package views and the Resource Management view where the Work Contour is displayed.

A new Weekly Resource Utilization (with Project Affectation) pivot is added to the pivot list that displays the same bands and headers as the Monthly Resource Utilization pivot. In addition, this pivot displays the Week, Week Start, and Week Finish headers under the Time band

Capital cost and profit loss
This new feature allows Rational Portfolio Manager administrators to configure Rational Portfolio Manager through both system or project-level settings.

Refresh shortcut key
The following shortcut keys are assigned to refresh the IBM Rational Portfolio Manager views:
· F5: Refreshes the selected node and its child nodes where the Refresh icon is enabled.
· CTRL + F5: Refreshes the entire view where the Refresh icon is enabled.

New features in a turned-off State

The following three new features are in a turned-off state, information for turning these on is contained in Chapter two of the 7.1.1.2 Release notes:

Network diagrams
Using network diagrams, you can view critical paths and dependencies in a project or proposal and monitor task completion status. The network diagram displays the sequence of tasks, summary tasks, milestones, work product, deliverables, and external projects. The WBS elements are displayed as nodes, and dependencies between the elements as arrows. Network diagrams also display the critical path for projects or proposals

Offline forms
Using the off-line forms feature, you as a team member or a project manager, can download scope elements and timesheets from Rational Portfolio Manager as forms for off-line use.

Please see the technote Off-line Forms feature in Rational Portfolio Manager 7.1.1.2 for more details on this feature as there are special considerations that need to be understood before a decision is made to attempt to use it:
