Additional Updates
Available Now
- Single Sign On for RedTeam Flex web and mobile
Updates have been made to Single Sign-On (SSO) for RedTeam Flex to increase efficiency when signing in to RedTeam Flex and managing user access. In addition to SSO for the web, you can now log in to the RedTeam Flex mobile app via SSO. If you use Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for Single Sign-On, you can streamline the user experience for your team. Users will no longer need to remember a specific RedTeam Flex set of credentials to log in. Microsoft Entra ID also provides a setting to allow multi-factor authentication (MFA) to provide an additional layer of security.
We currently offer SSO via Microsoft Entra ID, but we’re planning to offer additional solutions in the future. If you’re interested in setting up SSO, check out the following instructions or reach out to your Client Success Manager.
- Update to Units of Measure
Available since February 29: We’ve made an update to Units of Measure to streamline your experience and ensure data accuracy. Existing units of measure for Labor have been standardized for hours, days, weeks and months. This aligns them for consistency across your projects. This standardization ensures clarity and uniformity in your data, making it easier to track and analyze project data.
When adding a Labor Authorization in the Buyout tab, the ‘Duration’ field will display the singular and plural forms of measure, for example: ‘Day / Days’. In the Configuration menu, under Units of Measure, we’ve added a validation for all fields. This ensures units of measure aren’t duplicated. There’s a new warning message if you attempt to add a duplicate unit of measure when you add a new or edit an existing unit of measure.
Note that units of measure are used when creating estimates, budgets and employee commitments. There are no changes to any functionality from a user perspective. You’ll simply notice that the dropdown menus for Duration will display the singular and plural versions of duration measurements.
- TeamPlayer for RedTeam Flex: Update to Billing for Stored Materials
TeamPlayer for RedTeam Flex allows your vendors to enter their invoices directly into RedTeam Flex for your review and approval. We’ve made an update to make it even easier for vendors to submit their billing efficiently. Billing for Stored Materials presentedsome inconsistencies between the two billing methods available (This Period / Completed to Date). The calculation for Progress Percent has been updated to include Presently Stored Materials + Completed to Date. In addition, the radio buttons to select Amount or Percent Complete have been removed. This makes it easier and faster to update either one without extra steps. We’ve increased consistency for both billing methods to make TeamPlayer easier to use and reduce the number of rejected invoices due to errors entering the billing amounts.
