8.30 Release Notes

Release date: September 28, 2021

We released the following updates since 8.29:

Introducing Resource Planning

As a Producer and Manager, you can now identify where Artists are overbooked and underutilized across the studio and departments, and can rebalance work easily. Resource Planning views leverage live data in ShotGrid, allowing you to react more quickly to the dynamic nature of production and confidently deliver projects on time and on budget.

Improvements

  • Added an option to the user settings menu that allows users to sign out of Autodesk Identity [SG-23754]
  • Added a contextual banner notifying Admin users about their ShotGrid site’s migration to Autodesk Identity status. [SG-23786]
  • An Invitation to create Autodesk account expiry date column is now visible on the People page. [SG-23784]
  • Removed support for ES5 browsers. Users with older browsers that don’t support ES6 will be redirected to an ā€œunsupported browserā€ page. [SG-19338]
  • Under Advanced in Site Preferences, added a new control to ā€œSkip invite emails when only sent as notificationā€. When set to ā€œyesā€, we will never send invite emails to newly created and re-enabled users when they already have an Autodesk Identity account. For all other users, the standard invite email will be sent. [SG-23648]
  • Fixed an issue that prevented users from importing people when they exceeded the licenses available. Instead, users will receive a message with instructions on how people will be created but not activated upon importing. [SG-21802]
  • Added tooltip messaging on how to purchase ShotGrid and link a site to a subscription, and how to control seats to match subscriptions from the People page. [SG-23532]
  • Added a column to indicate whether a user has acquired and assigned a Personal Access Token to their user account. [SG-22544]
  • Added new dialog to help ensure that only designated administrators perform the migration to Autodesk Identity. [SG-23956]

  • On a custom entity landing page, fixed the display of custom entities in plural form. [SG-10511]
  • Fixed an issue where a malformed email can prevent access to the Identity Migration tool. [SG-23947]
  • Fixed an issue where the Personal Access Token (PAT) creation date was displayed as ā€œInvalid dateā€ in non-chrome browsers. [SG-23944]
  • Fixed the Page History and Stats page hit focus windows that were missing graph source data. [SG-23828]
  • Fixed an issue when event logs were not added after a project was created / cloned. [SG-23879]
  • Fixed an issue when a project field could not be saved on a Note entity global form. [SG-23499]
