The task was scheduled at a subsequent time at which the executive’s working time began. Often this was at a time around 02:00.

Appointment/Blocktime:
When manually adjusting the appointment time, it was not saved and the previous block time was filled. This functionality has been restored.

Include documents:
It is possible to see when a task contains a document. This can be done by checking the bottom option in the settings menu. It is a user setting.

Blockades and Exchange:
The link between a blockade in Marlin and Exchange (Outlook) could cause problems when using repetitive blockades. The basic structure for storing blockades has been changed.

If you add a new block, the creation screen will be the same:

Blocks with a recurrence get 2 different tabs: Instance and Series

Instance: shows the information of the blockade
Series: shows the information of the series of repetitive blockade

As a result of this change, a start has been made on repetitive blockades in combination with Outlook support. This adjustment includes part 1 where Marlin supports repetitive blockades. The link to Outlook still needs to be adjusted and is not yet supported with this update.

The service types were not always displayed correctly within Marlin. This functionality has been restored.

Description plan line:
The description of the plan line is now also visible in the unplanned task list.

Cross icon display:
The cross was not shown correctly in the display menu of Marlin

White blocks when clustering:
When the cluster module is activated, white blocks are shown when a scheduler does not have rights to the relevant tasks. The color of this allocation is white. This can now be set to your own color. It is an option that applies to the entire environment. The color can be set in Coral Marlin -> Planboard -> Colors -> Undefined-background.

When scheduling automatically, the appointment is not automatically filled. This functionality has been restored.

Settings are lost:
Various reports have been received where settings were erroneously changed after logging in again. We have improved saving the settings to prevent these problems.

Re-allocate a task:
When re-allocating a task with a different duration an error message could arise. This error message was ‘No resource available’’. This problem has been resolved and the reallocation of the task will be handled now.

Save changes: 
With different reading actions it was possible that you would see a message ‘Save Changes ’. The errors in the situations that we could reproduce have been fixed. This message will no longer show up and is resolved.

The re-allocate Task icon (semicircle) wasn’t always visible in the unplanned tasks list. This functionality is resolved.
