Deltek Sync Date Now Shown Separately from Last Updated

Overview

For clients using a Deltek integration (Vantagepoint or Vision), Project and Employee profiles now display two distinct date fields instead of one combined timestamp — making it easy to tell whether a change came from a manual edit or a Deltek sync.

What's new

  • Last Updated: shows when that specific Project or Employee record was last changed

  • Deltek Sync Date: shows when that record was last synced from Deltek These now appear as separate fields, rather than one date representing both.

Why it matters

  • Clearer audit trail — you can now tell at a glance whether a record's most recent change came from someone editing it directly in OpenAsset, or from the Deltek sync

  • Easier troubleshooting — if a record looks out of date, you can quickly check the Deltek Sync Date to confirm when it was last pulled from Deltek, without guessing

Getting Started

  • Open the relevant Project or Employee profile

  • Click the "Fields" tab

  • Look for the "Deltek Sync Date" field, shown separately from "Last Updated"

WordPress Connector v6.0 — Redesigned Settings & Onboarding Experience

Overview

WordPress Connector v6.0 is a UX/UI-focused update that improves usability, onboarding, and overall presentation of the plugin experience inside WordPress.

What's new

  • Redesigned settings layout with a cleaner, more intuitive organization

  • New welcome screen with guided onboarding for first-time users

  • Improved sync visibility with clearer status indicators and top-of-page placement

  • New dashboard featuring sync stats, graphs, and recent activity at a glance

What to expect

Settings and navigation have been reorganized, so some options may be in a new location. All functionality remains the same. Updated documentation is on the way.

New Product Update: Text Library Linking to Projects and Employees

Overview

Text Library now supports linking text assets directly to Projects and Employees in OpenAsset DAM. This enhancement allows firms to manage standardized narrative content centrally while associating it with the relevant records across the platform.

What’s new

  • Text assets can be linked directly to Projects & Employees

  • Linked text assets remain centrally managed in the Text Library while being associated with selected records

Why it matters

This helps teams stay organized around content that is commonly used together when writing proposals.

For Projects, this includes things like service descriptions, testimonials, or award copy that is consistently used when writing about a specific project.

For Employees, this includes standardized bios, credential descriptions, or role-specific language that is reused across proposals.

Linked text assets remain centrally managed in the Text Library while being associated with the relevant Project or Employee record.

Example use cases

  • Link approved award narratives to Projects for consistent, reusable award copy

  • Link credential descriptions (e.g. LEED AP, PE, PMP) to Employees

  • Maintain standardized language for market expertise, leadership messaging, and firm culture, linked to relevant Employees
