We have MS Project 2016 and it doesn't interface with the new schedule module.
We have multiple layers of submittal approvals. Additional functionality to reflect how submittals are reviewed would be great.
The new schedule module Save button is in a location that is not intuitive to look for. If it could auto save or not be all the way on the upper right hand side, it would be easier to use.

Again, because our technical support is great. He doesn't always answer the phone but he definitely responds to emails fairly quickly. In addition, I like that he actually resolves an issue and I have yet to encounter the same issue twice. Actually, I haven't encountered many issues at all in the two years I have used the software.
