This page outlines the updates included in the latest release of BigPicture.

Version: 8.73


New

OKR module

OKR restrictions for individual OKRs

OKR restrictions add an extra layer of control for individual Strategic themes, Objectives, and Key Results (OKRs), allowing users to manage who can view and edit specific OKRs. There are two types of restrictions:

  • Visibility restriction - Limits the visibility of an OKR to a specific group of users or teams.

  • Editing restriction - Restricts editing capabilities, such as creating sub-items or linking Jira work items, to a selected group of users or teams.

Based on this setup, you can:

  • Restrict only Key Result1 and/or Key Result2 (if the Strategic theme or Objective is not restricted).

  • Restrict only the Objective (if the Strategic theme is not restricted). This action will also cause Key Result1 and Key Result2 to be restricted.

    A hierarchy of restricted OKRs.
  • Restrict the Strategic theme. This action will also cause Objective, Key Result1, and Key Result2 to be restricted.

All OKRs inherit the restriction from their parent.

The OKR module’s Settings are global—any changes you make also apply to the organization's settings.

UI changes - user roles management

Permissions to all modules can be managed in one of two places: App Administration or Box Configuration, depending on the permission context.

Permissions for the Financials, OKR, and Priorities modules are managed in App administration.

In the Security tab of the app Administration, you can manage the following roles:

  • App Admin

  • App Financial Admin

  • App Financial Viewer

  • App OKR Admin

  • App OKR User

  • App Priorities Admin

  • App Resources Admin

  • App User

Workload distribution

The resources grid reflects the actual logged time

Previously, workload was distributed based on BigPicture workload continuing settings and didn’t reflect the actual logged time.

Now, the time spent is displayed exactly on the day when it is logged in Jira.

  • If a user logs time before the task start date, the time logs are displayed on the Start Date.

    • Example: task dates are May 1, 2026 - May 5, 2026, user logged 2 hours on April 29 and 3 hours on April 30 → it is displayed as 5 hours on May 1.

  • If a user logs time after the task end date, the worklogs are displayed on the End Date.

    • Example: task dates are May 1, 2026 - May 5, 2026, user logged 1 hour on May 6 and 1 hour on May 7 → it is displayed as 2 hours on May 5th.
