Delegate365 changelog 8.5-Sync with Security Group

Delegate365 changelog 8.5-Sync with Security Group

Delegate365 version 8.5 comes with an updated sync operation for the option “Sync with security group”. This option allows to achieve a match between (specific) Office 365 security groups and Delegate365 OU´s.

Sample scenario To describe the “Sync with Security Group” functionality, here´s a demo. In our organization, there are branches in 3 locations: *Seattle, New York, *and London. We want to have users in some locations automatically assigned to OU´s in Delegate365. For that purpose, we are using Security Groups in Office 365 and add the users as members to these groups. So here´s the detailed scenario. ...

Project Makros mit Datumsfeldern in mehrsprachiger Umgebung - Macros with Date Fields in Multilanguage Environment

Deutsche Version Im Artikel Project: Formeln mit Datumsfeldern in mehrsprachiger Umgebung / Formulas with Date Fields in Multilanguage Environment habe ich beschrieben, wie man Fehler in Formeln mit potentiell leeren Datumsfeldern in einer mehrsprachigen Umgebung vermeidet.

Wenn in Formeln auf diesen Textwerte einer Sprache geprüft wird, führt das zu Fehlern bei Verwendung einer anderen Sprachversion von Project. Das gleiche gilt auch, wenn diese Felder mit VBA ausgewertet werden. In Code sehen Sie drei Beispielmakros: ...
