What's New

New features have been added to the Work Manager mobile app as well as improvements and bug fixes.

New Features and Enhancements

Work Manager

Work Requests are now available on the Work Manager mobile app. The Work Request feature allows you to:

• Create new work requests
• View and Edit Work Requests created on the web application
• Add, edit, and delete Work Request locations
• Create Work Orders from Work Requests
• Delete and duplicate Work Requests

Work Orders on Work Manager now allow users to pick stock bins for activities including mixing and hauling.

The Inspections pane on Work Manager has been renamed to Reporting Forms. Reporting Forms that have been defined on the Maintenance Manager web application can now be created and edited on Work Manager through this pane. Location information can be captured and edited for each form.

The Asset creation workflow on Work Manager has several new improvements. It has been made more intuitive and easy to access. Both spatial and LRS assets may now be captured using Work Manager. Location information can be edited in Work Manager.

Work Manager now features modern Mapbox Studio style maps. Previous versions of Work Manager featured Mapbox Classic style maps. Clients using Work Manager are encouraged to update to the latest version to take advantage of the modern map styles. AgileAssets will continue to support versions of the app with the Classic maps until Dec 31^st 2020.

Improvements have been made to the Sync process to make it faster and more efficient.

Jasper Server

Standard report parameters can now be applied for cascading parameters in the Jasperserver dashboard. Cascading parameters will display limited drop-down lists based on the standard report parameter values.

Known Issues, Limitations, and Restrictions

Updates

• In Work Manager, if you try to sync a newly created Asset and an Inspection performed on that asset at the same time, the sync will fail. Currently, you must create the asset and then sync before you can perform the inspection and sync the inspection.

Existing Known Issues

• In Structures Inspector, when the Tunnel inventory screen is displayed, Revert Edits is briefly shown and then hidden along with Edit Tunnel.
• In Structures Inspector, when Revert Edits is selected in Tunnel inventory screen, users must currently reload the page for their edits to disappear.
• Structure Inspector inspections for Tunnels can currently be edited after being submitted.
• For windows devices, text boxes in the Structures Inspector mobile app, such as the General Notes field in the general inspection form or the Comments field in access needs form, display the input cursor in the middle of the text box, instead of at the top of the text box.

• The Structures Inspector mobile app may crash when more than 10 photos are selected from the device album to be attached to an inspection record

• Work Manager App users on Android devices with memory of less than 2GB may receive an Out of Memory Exception. Please close and reopen the app daily to avoid this issue.

• When a user adds multiple photos to an inspections from a device with a full camera roll on an Android device the Structures Inspector mobile app may crash.

• The Structures Inspector mobile app lists inspections in QC and QA for download but if those inspections are edited, the sync process will halt and users must click Delete on device and continue to sync their other inspections.

  When downloading for the first time, please check the status of inspections and do not download inspections with a QC or QA status. To review the status of inspections that have already been downloaded, click and select Download Inspections.

• The Structures Inspector mobile app Condition State comment text box covers the tittle.

• The Structures Inspector mobile app lists the date updated as the date it was last modified from the web application even if it has been modified more recently in the mobile app.

• The supplied CORS filter for Tomcat will not work on Tomcat version 8.5.32 and above. Customers need to review the use of the CORS filter and update web.xml as needed. Additional information can be found at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/filter.html

• The discovery date is absent on the flag screen in Structures Inspector. Currently, the default date is the current date for flags created in the web app.

• The Structures Inspector mobile app screen shifts when closing a pop-up window.

• Flags can now be created in the Structures Inspector mobile app but must still be submitted to QC using the web application. Additionally, Flags Superseding and Discovery Date are not yet available in the app.

• Flags cannot be set to supersede each other in the Structures Inspector mobile app.

• As of Chrome 71, browser pop-ups may be blocked which will negatively affect system operations. To address this in Chrome go to Settings > Advanced > Content Settings > Pop ups and redirects and then add the URL for the application.

• The new GIS Explorer like all web mapping applications requires datasets in the geographic coordinate system (EPSG:4326), so customer schemas with data stored in a different coordinate system would need to be transformed in order for map layers to be created from the dataset. See the section on re-projecting geometries in the Implementation Guide

• Inserting a location or inventory item from a map is not functional when using Firefox as your web browser. To work around this limitation, use the other supported web browsers: IE 11, Chrome or Safari

• When you select to print a map as an image (png file) using Firefox as your web browser, the file is downloaded as map.png.pdf. You would have to manually edit out the '.pdf' extension from the file name, after the file has been downloaded, to be able to open/use the file

• When you define a map print template of size 34x44 or larger, an error is returned since the size of the generated map image always times before a PDF for printing is generated

The configured session expiration warnings will be displayed when this occurs or your session may timeout and a session expiration notification displayed, if a warning is not configured

• Map filter value does not get pre-populated in the Jasper report print template, even though the parameter is specified for display in the template

• Map filter value cannot be defined or edited for a map with a specified area of interest. To work around the definition limitation, the map filter should be defined before the AOI is set

  • IE 11 - 4000 rows

  • Edge - 4000 rows

• The spinner indicating that a layer is loading in the GIS Explorer, continues to spin after selecting to remove a previous loading layer by using either the new map or remove layer option

• When zoomed in at the 0.6km/0.4m level before selecting to print a map, the basemap is not rendered on the resulting printed map

• Hebrew and other languages with special characters are not rendered properly on the properties panel of GIS Explorer

• In FDC, when enter an incorrect password twice and then enter the correct password afterwards, a message indicating an incorrect reCAPTCHA answer is displayed

• When the same editable layer is added to GIS Explorer so there are more than one active, the features on the layer cannot be dragged for an edit

• The undo/redo of edits retains the actions performed even the associated layer has been removed

• When add a new editable layer to a map with in-progress edits, the undo and redo options are temporarily disabled. Performing an edit re-enables undo/redo and previous edits can be undone or redone
