Written by Joel Gray | May 7, 2024

We're excited to share details for the new release of Mpower: MP4 04.09.01.000. This release improves searching, reporting, and administration functions in Mpower Project Controls and Cost Management software. This release is currently available since April 15th, 2024. 

Our latest release's highlights include:

  • More efficient and precise searches
  • Stronger governance for access controls
  • Improved Earned Value/Productivity reporting

 

More Efficient and Precise Searches

We've added several flexible options to search queries in Mpower.

New operators such as NOT IN, NOT LIKE, NULL, and NOT NULL provide greater flexibility when searching, reducing effort and time. Searches also return a more precise set of records. 

 

Flexible Access Control Administration

Administrators applying access rights in Mpower can now use User Groups as well as just Users. 

This allows all users within a group to be authorised for approver or timewriter with the correct permissions in one simple operation. 

 

Improved Earned Value/Productivity Reporting 

This release provides more improvements to Mpower's strong earned value and productivity reporting

The Progress Entries feature, used for reporting earned value and productivity, has a new overall layout. We've added a Structure section that mimics the same fields and layout as on the main Activity Search tab. 

The Search functions for the Progress Entries screen provide additional columns including Job Type, Work Type, Team, and Location.
