FOLIO 5.1 Release Notes

Kitologic is proud to bring you FOLIO 5.1 that will enable you to:

This release also includes a number of improvements and fixes.

Have earned value credited as issues progress for your long running tasks

Typically, earned value is credited when a work item completes.  But in some cases such as long running administrative tasks for instance, you might prefer to have earned value credited progressively as it advances rather than when it is finished. Or you might want to have all your project tasks be earned progressively to see a smoother progression. FOLIO now lets you specify which issues should be earned upon progress through standard JIRA issue labels. Simply list the labels in the Progressively Earned Issues configuration setting under your Folio's Earning Rule tab and you're good to go.  Or simply click the All issues link if you want all issues to be earned that way.

Specify which user groups have access to FOLIO

In many organizations, FOLIO is used by a relatively small subset of users such as middle and upper management.  You can now configure FOLIO to be accessible only to users belonging to one or more JIRA user groups, making it completely invisible and unobtrusive to others, hiding the Portfolio item from JIRA's main menu bar.

Restrict the visibility of your Folios by overriding shares with a list of users

Until now, visibility of a Folio was driven solely by its filter shares.  This allowed for a lot of flexibility but there was no way to prevent an unaware JIRA administrator accidentally giving access to a Folio simply by adding a user to a group that would be part of a share.  Given the sensitive nature of the information held by FOLIO we to took the Folio visibility control a step higher. Now FOLIO lets you override the visibility of your Folios with a list of specific users, giving the Folio's owner and administrators total control over sharing.


Search for expenses, revenues and team members in both Folios and Portfolios

It can become difficult to locate a specific expense, revenue or team member in a large Folio. So a search box has been added in every browsing screens to let you find them in no time. Simply start typing the name of the item or items you're looking for and see all matches being highlighted along the way. They're automatically selected for you and thus the corresponding details is also displayed on the right panel.



Know what's the actual unit cost or revenue of your earned issues

Ever wondered what's the current cost of a story point?  Or the current revenue generated by planned hour?  The Folio overview now displays the planned and actual cost and revenue per single unit of your Earned value field.  This is helpful for instance when planning new work items being added during execution to get a quick estimate of cost and revenue for it.
