24 April 2026
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.27 |
| Build | 1.27.0.0 |
List of fixed bugs
- Newly created links were sometimes not deleted on reload.
- The progress dialog was in some cases not counting correctly.
Changes made to Chrome and Edge caused certain issues in interactions and visualization:
- Tooltips sometimes did not appear when hovering horizontally over bars.
- The dragging of bars was sometimes aborted during the action.
- Occasionally, empty white rows were visible.
- Occasionally, modifying bars did not update the displayed elements
- An exception was thrown upon deleting an object when the cursor was hovering on its representation
- When touching an element, no hover effect should be shown.
- Dropping elements via the CreationMode in the time area sometimes did not work correctly.
- Occasionally, background elements rotated upon row expansion.
- Events are now queued via the InvokeExtensibilityMethod of BC which should avoid the “reduced functionality” warning.
We have built our own table checker tool which is used to compare internal extension tables with Business Central (BC) tables to find and adjust to differences when new BC versions are released.
25 February 2026
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.26 |
| Build | 1.26.0.2 |
List of fixed bugs
- Context menu submenus sometimes remained open even when moving to another submenu entry.
- Gray mouse hover backgrounds, when moving the cursor over graphical elements, could remain visible when they should disappear after moving the cursor elsewhere.
- After certain interactions unintended error messages or warning messages could show up.
- The mouse cursor symbol could get stuck showing the wrong interaction type.
- Tooltips sometimes did not appear correctly or at all.
16 January 2026
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.26 |
| Build | 1.26.0.0 |
List of fixed bugs
- The calculation for the link duration was corrected. In some cases, giving a negative link duration caused a calculated start date for the next element to be further in the past than intended.
- Scrolling to an object has been changed to match the behavior of the VPS and VAPS. The VJS will now try to display the searched object in the center of the application.
- The gray dot at the end of bars, which indicates that the bar was moved and changes can be saved, was removed from summary bars representing Job Tasks and Resource affiliation. The expansion of those elements is calculated in the VJS and is not saved back in BC, therefore a change indication is not needed.
15 April 2025
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.25 |
| Build | 1.25.1.0 |
List of fixed bugs
- Job Planning Lines with custom fields added to the simulation tables will now retain their values when the line is split and will also be correctly written back to the Business Central table upon saving.
- Two bug fixes provided by the ControlAddIn upgrade:
- The yellow warning sash stating "Control add-in might not run as you expect it to. The functionality has been reduced to ensure your productivity" no longer appears.
- Links between operations now adjust correctly when changing the timescale resolution and no longer extend indefinitely.
3 February 2025
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.25 |
| Build | 1.25.0.0 |
List of fixed bugs
- Splitting did not consider the Job Planning Line currency
- Validate quantity on Job Planning Lines sets the unit cost to the selected resource’s unit cost even if the unit cost was zero. This is not intended for splitting and will now only copy the unit cost when a new Job Planning Line is created via Creation Mode.
- Customizing many text-rich fields in table or bar no longer leads to the error “Field size exceeded”. Instead, the text gets truncated, and ellipses “…” are shown at the end.

-
Use of flow fields within table extensions to simulation tables for tooltips, bar, and table labels
Until now, flow fields could be created in the original tables of Business Central or its extensions and calculated as required via the OnBeforeTransfer events.
Now - under certain conditions - flow fields can also be created directly in NETRONIC's own simulation tables and used for tooltips, bar, and table labels.
Important: Only persistent records can serve as the basis for calculating the values in the formulas for the flow fields, i.e. values that come about as a result of interactive rescheduling in the planning board are not included in the calculation. In addition, there is no event that is triggered before the value of the flow field is calculated. Therefore, it is not possible, for example, to use a date filter to restrict the calculation to dynamic values. Therefore, the feature should only be used in combination with values from standard Business Central tables. - Performance improvements

- Link duration: You can now define the duration of a link when creating a new one or editing an existing one. This link duration will be considered after a drag and drop interaction or after scheduling successors. If the time interval between the linked elements is smaller than the specified link duration, the link will appear in red.
- Edit links: The new context menu item “Adjust links” lets you edit a link to modify its type and/or duration.
List of fixed bugs
- Creating or splitting multiple job planning lines in one session caused multiplication of job planning lines and a target switch of links on the job task.
- Schedule successors did not consider all links in a longer link chain.
- An error occurred if a job task did not have job planning lines while it was part of an interaction
- If a link pointed to a job with user-defined starting and ending dates, this job would shrink down to a single day in length.
- Parallel links were not considered correctly
- After searching for a job planning line, the “Expand All” function did not work correctly.
30 June 2021
| Product | Visual Jobs Scheduler |
| Version | 1.11 |
| Build | 1.11.0.0 |
List of enhancements
-
New search dialogs: In the Job View it is now possible to search for jobs, job tasks and job planning lines, in the Resource View for job planning lines and resources and in the Histogram View for resources. The found element is indicated by a blinking frame and, if possible, selected, so that the links are shown. If a view filter is active the search dialog will only show the visible elements in the VJS.
The search dialogs can also be personalized the same way as is done in Business Central, by adding columns in the fields list.
- Filter on Job Tasks: The data filter and view filter have been extended to include the job task table. This will enable users who only want to see a specific portion of big jobs to do so. Since this data filter may result in a list of projects for which no project tasks were found, there will be a message for the user indicating that the specified filter conditions did not allow for any job tasks to be loaded.
- Improved distribution logic: Currently, the VJS will either show all job planning lines as allocated to the planning date or, if activated, will calculate and visualize the allocation according to the available resource capacities and allocate all capacities starting from the planning date until the quantity has been fully allocated. This follows the idea that as soon as a job planning line is assigned to a planning date and a resource that all efforts of the resource should immediately be dedicated to this job planning line.
This has now been extended to allow the users to supply a “planned end date” on the job planning lines page, on which the work for that job planning line should be completed. This means that with the planning date as a start and with the planned end date as end, the VJS can then visualize a proportional usage over all available dates with capacity between the start and end for this job planning line. This gives the user and the resource a more realistic approach to plan the intended workload over a certain amount of time and leave it to the resource to fulfill the workload at their own pace. - Automatically generated translations were removed and exchanged by manually created proper English and German translations. For partners wanting to create a translation in their own language, we provide the English xlf files as a basis.
- API: A new set of OnBeforeTransfer events was added. These events can be used to modify Business Central data before transferring them into our simulation data. This way, the customer can use flow fields, for example. The values of a field class Flowfield of standard BC are dynamically calculated and can be used in fields added by partners, but currently, they are not triggered to get calculated during data transmission from Business Central to the SIM tables. By using the new events, these fields can nevertheless be processed in a meaningful way and can be provided for tooltip, bar, and label texts. The partner enhances the BC as well as the SIM tables by new fields accordingly. The events occur on loading and are structured as follows:
OnBeforeTransferBCTableName(pClientGuid: Guid; var pBCTableNameRecord: Record “ BCTableName” var pHandled: Boolean)
BCTableName has to be replaced with the concrete table name. The following tables can be used: Job, Job Task, Job Planning Line, Resource Group, Resource
The event delivers the BC record to be transferred. Then an own or an already existing FlowFilter can be set and FlowField values fields be calculated – the new value will be stored in the record. After this, the VJS will process the record and transfer it to the SIM tables. The calculated value is then used as well but it is also possible to describe “nonFlowFields” so that the BC data for the simulation can be modified. These data can be displayed in tooltip, bar, or table.
List of fixed bugs
- Scheduling performance enhancements.
- When dragging a new job planning line from the entity list, the newly created job planning line would start at the date indicated by the mouse cursor, not the date the bar was visualized at during the interaction.
- After loading or reloading data from Business Central it could happen that an interaction on an element with a link did not adhere to that link at all.
- If you opened the Toggle Creation Mode with an active view filter, the view filter was only applied to the Creation Mode table if you switched to a different view and back.
- Jobs with a manual end date were visually extended when a job planning line got moved past the end date.
- In the case of a job with a manually set ending date but a blank starting date it could happen that the error message “Date is invalid” popped up and the VJS aborted the loading process.
- Changes to links were not reset when a reload was performed without saving.
- In certain situations, the VJS format strings "(" and ")" were automatically removed from the table and bar configurations
