Highlights of Service Pack V6.5 – 0170
In Lists with a tree view (e.g. Structure Editor) levels can be folded/unfolded with a mouse click (RP-5420)
This practical new feature enables the user to fold/unfold levels in a list more quickly and precisely using the keyboard and the mouse:
- Ctrl + left-click: folds/unfolds entire level
- Ctrl + Shift + left-click: folds/unfolds the element plus its neighbours
Import | Import characteristics: new option to merge system elements upon import (RP-5477)
When importing data from an Excel file, it is now possible to merge elements with the same name.

Summary Functions and Placeholder: two new placeholders “MAXDATE” and “MAXRPN” (RP-4914)
Maintenance customers only:
1. MAXRPN: determines the maximum RPN from the last completed revision state (highest risk)
2. MAXDATE: determines the deadline furthest in the future from the last rated revision state (i.e. when the project is expected to be completed).
