What's New

New features have been added to Maintenance Manager and Pavement Analyst as well as other improvements and bug fixes.

New Features and Enhancements

Maintenance Manager

• Work Orders can now be issued from a Plan Item, PM, or Work Request using the source item's attributes to populate Work Order fields.
  Note: Work Order creation wizard must be in use.
• Work Request Assets are now automatically associated with Work Orders created from the Work Request.

Pavement & Structures Analyst

• Optimization analysis has been enhanced to support a treatment option that allows a delay of deterioration for a defined number of years, as a treatment improvement.

Work Manager

• The help screen can now be customized with an agency's internal email addresses and help pages for the agency staff, so they can be accessed directly from Work Manager in case of questions or issues.
• Users can now switch between online mode and offline mode while logged in. The app will automatically switch between online mode and offline mode depending on whether the user has internet connectivity. While performing a sync or downloading maps, the system will check for internet connectivity.

• Fixed Known 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.
• Fixed Known Issue: 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.

Known Issues, Limitations, and Restrictions

Updates

• In Work Manager, when users update from version 7.5.2 to 7.5.3, they should perform a sync when they first login.
• In Work Manager, for some Android devices, photos added to an inspection in web app are not visible.
• In the Structures Inspector mobile app, the Inspection Date field has been removed from the general form. It will be added back with a validation check for past due inspections.
• In the Structures Inspector mobile app, in certain network connectivity conditions where a sync of an inspection with attachments from the structures inspector mobile app fails, a subsequent successful sync of the app may cause element condition state notes to be duplicated.
• In the Work Manager mobile app, some uploaded photographs added to an inspection rotate 90°.
• In the Work Manager mobile app, assets cannot be setup to view in the app as View Only. They need have the necessary geometry information and assets set to allow editing and inspection creation.
• In the Work Manager mobile app, only one currency symbol ($) is currently supported.
• In Maintenance Manager, some photographs added to an Inspection do not display in the app on some Android devices. This issue is device specific, devices other than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T290 and Android 10 will display all images.
• In Maintenance Manager, it is currently possible to create an inspection without entering an Inspection Date. If no date is selected, it will default to 01/01/01 when synced.

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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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
