Several updates have been made to the Staff table in the Project wizard to improve accuracy in representing the workload of part-time and full-time staff, as well as to prepare for an upcoming release focused on part-time staff.

• Value Range & Formatting
• The FTE field accepts values between 0 and 1, inclusive, with up to two decimal places (e.g., 0.25).
• The default value for FTE is 1.00, and existing records will default to 1.00.
• Manual Entry
• Users can manually enter and update the FTE value for each staff member.
• Updated Edit Staff table
• The FTE field is now also available in the Edit Staff table via the Staff Side Panel > Edit Staff button on the Curriculum Plan and Scheduling pages.
