FSM Planning and Dispatching 6.43.0 - Change of behaviour in Planning List

SAP has announced a change on their SAP Customer Experience Wiki:

 ************************************************************

 Important: The new planning board will be enabled for all customers on 11 May 2019 

Prior to version 6.43.0

The “Planning and Dispatching” module, the Planning List maintained the order of the columns as arranged by the user. Each rearrangement was persisted, and therefore at the next login the user would find 
the same column order that was previously set.

Change of Behaviour

Starting with 6.43.0 and currently in preview, the current library used for rendering the Planning List has been replaced with a new component. As a result, users will need to rearrange Planning List columns, as it is not possible to migrate the column order from the previously-used component. This is a one-time action and after the user has rearranged the columns into their desired order, all changes will be persisted.

Benefits

The new component offers the following benefits:

1.The rendering is faster than the previous one, therefore the user 
experience will be improved.
2.It allows users to view activities grouped by service call and to expand and 
collapse them all in one shot

3.Is much easier to resize a header
4.A useful tooltip displays the most important information of the activity, 
without the need of scrolling over multiple fields
5.We removed the limitation that allows to see only the first 200 activities. You can now see any activity which is ready for planning

Caution Points

Order of columns defined with old component will be lost and a predefined order of columns (represented below) will be used. The user would then need to once again rearrange the columns to the desired 
order, if the default order doesn’t meet the user’s needs.
