What's New:

What's Changed:
- **Set Value Retention: **When you have a value already set for a report parameter and choose to check for a ranged value, the previously set value will now populate the minimum value of the range. This ensures that your parameter settings are preserved, making it effortless to customize your reports.
Improved Activity Visualization in Execution View
In this release, we've made changes to how activities are displayed, with a special focus on highlighting critical path activities.
