Roadmap
We have been working super hard behind the scenes to jam even more functionality into the new edison365. We want you to get a glimpse into this work and see how your feedback makes its way all the way to the live product. A note on timelines:
Live means this functionality was in the latest release. Check out the Release Notes at the bottom of this article for more details.
In Testing means we have passed the initial development hurdles and are tweaking things before the final release. We can't wait to share these new features with you in the next couple weeks!
In Development means this is what the developers are working on right now. Development work is challenging with lots of ups and downs, so they're still at least a month or two away before testing.
In Planning means these are items on the backlog that we hope to get to as soon as we finish what we're working on right now. You might be seeing these features in the next three to six months and beyond.

|

|
Major Admin Updates | In-depth auditing, API events, timesheeting, and instance copying capabilities, you're welcome admins ✅ |
|
Record Type Renaming |
Don't want to use our terminology (Business Case/ Project/ Program)? You could replace with pig latin (or your company's internal lingo) if you'd prefer. Onay oblempray! |
|
Calculated Fields | Add more flavour to your calculations with the ability to have more than just numeric values automatically calculated. With our powerful expression builder, you will be able to automate project budgeting, add more detail to risk schedules and automate project status’ at the drop of a hat. |
|
Copy in Admin Configuration | Need to make a new workflow similar to one you already have? Easily copy the workflow (field, table, etc) and begin editing from step 10 instead of scratch. |
|
SharePoint Document Storage | We can't wait for you to be able to save your documents right in edison365 using a SharePoint embed. This allows you to host the documents securely in your own SharePoint (which edison365 gets a small window into) or we can host this SP tenant for you so there's no extra IT cost for you. |
