- Current version offers support for opening and saving files from/to Google Drive and Dropbox platforms. Plus it was added the possibility to handle Microsoft Project 2013 files along with a new look for the web-based module.
- Important changes for this version:
- Dropbox integration
- Google Drive integration
- added recurrent tasks
- support for Microsoft Project 2013 files
- new web based interface for Server
- export projects to .xls format files
- automatic email notifications on Server
- On users increased need to have access to their projects from multiple places, version 4.4 added the possibility to open and save files automatically on external locations like those provided by Google Drive and Dropbox storage services. This is a huge advantage because users can now manager their projects without worrying if their data is safe on their local hard-drives. All they need to do is to keep their files stored on any of the above two hosting solutions. Opening and saving is done as easy as working on local computers but with the advantage of data backup and availability, as long as you have an Internet connection. In case of concurrent access from multiple users on the same data, the Server products should be used.
- Since many users asked for this feature the team behind RationalPlan added the possibility to create recurrent tasks. Having the need to create recurrent activities like daily meetings or weekly trainings? Nothing easier: in RationalPlan 4.4 users can do that by creating daily, weekly or monthly recurrence patterns.
- RationalPlan products can now also read Microsoft Project 2013 files. Project managers that need to exchange data with the latest .mpp version from MS Project can count on version 4.4.
- The web-based module of the Server product got a new look. However besides the fact it is nicer, the more important thing is that it is easier for users to navigate through it and to use it. But that is not all: new features were added so resources have more possibilities to send email notifications to project managers.
New in RationalPlan Multi Project 4.3.0 (Mar 1, 2013)
- More reports: added resource costs distribution report, added resource work distribution report
- Easier printing capabilities

- Extra reports are now available. Users can generate cost or work related distributions for resources. In case someone besides the project manager needs to see the cost distribution for the project or for resources but does not have access to the free RationalPlan Viewer or for security reasons can not receive the entire project file, a print out on paper or .pdf document is the right solution. Using these reports it is possible to see how the work is distributed across resources and detect where overallocations or overtime costs appear.
- Users can now find easier to print reports as printing settings can be accessed more rapidly directly from the print preview mode. Additionally more details (placeholders for example) were added for an easier usage.
- At users requests RationalPlan Server is now capable of sending automatic email notifications. Task deadlines are no longer a problem. The application remembers you when a deadline is approaching so you can take the necessary measures for that deadline to be respected.
- Besides these new features some minor improvements were also made regarding processing Microsoft Project files.
