Release notes for version 2.26.0.2

Listed below are all the changes contained within this release.

Please be aware that this is a full upgrade, requiring a web service and device update.

Issue Addressed:

• Restricted the download of existing defects to only those Features on Tasks. Existing Defects on Features downloaded using the locate option or Get Features at Task Location will no longer be available. This update was done to lower the number of existing defects downloaded which, in some cases, caused poor server and client performance.

Release notes for version 2.26.0.1

Listed below are all the changes contained within this release.
Note: This release is a complete replacement for the previous 2.26.0 version and both Web Service and devices should be upgraded to apply the changes mentioned in both versions.

Issues Resolved:

• Superseding Defect functionality introduced the ability to see existing defects on various task types. Increased data downloads were expected as a result. However, this was significantly higher than intended when using an Oracle database. Performance for these downloads is now as expected for both Oracle and SQL Server.
  Note: Poor Performance was also seen even if you had not upgraded Confirm to V14.20d.AM. This has also been fixed.
• Some Android devices experienced poor responses when trying to use the various map buttons such as the GPS Location, this has now been resolved and all map buttons will now respond as expected for all Android devices.

Release notes for version 2.26.0.0

Listed below are all the changes contained within this release.

Updated functionality

• View the "rogue description" for Rogue SOR items. Rogue SOR items are those with a "unit of measure" that does not have the "Rate Uplift" flag set.
• Task summary map for all tasks types is now interactive, allows panning and pinch zoom.
• The Asset and Condition Survey screens now show any existing and un-actioned Defects for the Feature. These Defects can be superseded with a new Defect if any of the details have changed or to record that it has been re-inspected. The Defect will be marked as superseded and no longer considered current. If a Job already exists for the Defect being superseded then the existing Job will be linked to the new superseding Defect.
• Enquiries that have a Feature assigned now show any existing Defects for the Feature and these can be superseded in the same way as is possible for Defects on Asset and Condition Surveys. Changing the Feature on the Enquiry will cause the list of Defects to update so only Defects for the current Feature are shown.
• Enquiries that have a Feature assigned now show any existing Defects for the Feature and these can be superseded. Changing the Feature on the Enquiry will cause the list of Defects to update.
• Link an existing Defect to an Enquiry where the Enquiry is not already linked to a Defect. Once an Enquiry is linked to a Defect it will not be possible to change the Enquiries Feature or link the Enquiry to a different Defect.

Issues resolved:

• Pop-up windows (e.g. date picker) remaining on screen when the device's back button is used. In some cases this could cause ConfirmConnect^® to close.
• An Index error could occur when performing a status update on a Fix it now Job.
• Fix it Now Jobs where Feature Attributes and Conditions were being removed from the Job form after a status update was performed.
• It was possible to scroll the Confirm title bar off screen on iOS devices.
• The Street Works Inspection categories were being displayed in code order instead of alphabetically.
• The Street Works Inspection History wasn't being displayed in any logical order. It is now shown in chronological order starting with the most recent at the top of the list.
• An Action Officers Device Data Key can be set to 0 after a location update was sent from ConfirmConnect^®. This only occurred if the Device Data Key was originally not set.
• Using the Remove button on a Committed Job always created a Payment Request. This has been changed to only create a Payment Request when using the Remove button, on a Committed Job, if the SOR Items have been edited.

Installer

ConfirmConnect^® installer has been created to ease the Installation of the ConfirmConnect^® web service.

Changes which will be available once the Confirm host is upgraded to V14.20d.AM include:

• View and supersede existing Defects on Condition and Route Surveys. When viewing a survey task any existing 'internal' defect with the status of 'Action Required' will be shown. Tapping on a Defect will show the full details in read only and display the option to edit the defect. Using the edit option will create a superseding Defect which will be visible with all Survey tasks containing that Feature. The Superseding Defect will always be linked to the Survey task (Inspection Route) it was originally created against even if the Defect was uploaded as part of another Survey. For further information please see the help documentation.
  Note: Defects that are already linked to a Job can be superseded. Doing so will link the Job to the new superseding defect. The "Job Status", "Notes" and "Assigned To" fields of the Job can be updated.
• Uploading a Feature with large geometry data no longer causes an error when greater than 4000 characters (approx 100-150 points), using an Oracle database.
• Values entered for numeric conditions are now retained. Previously these were being set to the default value for the grade.
• Defects can now be raised on an Enquiry without losing the Enquiries Feature link.

• Added supported on Windows 7 and 8. Please refer to the help documentation for details on how to install the Windows application.
  Note: Windows 8 RT is not supported. Note: The Windows version of ConfirmConnect^® will always launch the folder option when attaching a photo to the task. This means users must take photos using the device's default camera software to take the photo and then attach them in ConfirmConnect^®.
• Added the ability to raise adhoc Asset and Condition Surveys from Features retrieved using What's Going On. Tap on the information box of a selected Feature to create a new Asset/Condition Survey Task on the your adhoc route.

• Updated the select list filter search to allow spaces. This applies to selecting Defect Types, Feature Types and others.
• Resolved an issue where a Job would not be seen by the assigned Officer if the Job had previously been assigned to a Gang. This was caused when a Job was at a status that was flagged for "Send Jobs to Device for Gang" and was then changed to a status which was flagged for "Send Jobs to Device for Officer".
  Note: Should the status be set such that both of these flags are checked then the Job will ONLY be available to the Gang.
• Resolved an issue where the Enquiry Status History was showing the Logged Date instead of the Log Effective Date.
• Resolved an issue where document links were not being downloaded due to the "document location" containing a drive mapping (e.g. S:\documents\photos\image1.jpg). This would happen if a user attached the document directly from a mapped drive, using Confirm without checking the "Upload to document store" option.
  Note: this requires the same SQL mentioned for document links in the V1.25.1.2 change, if you have already applied this SQL then you do not need to run it again.
• Resolved an issue where the Job "Device Job future Start Date Tolerance" field was being ignored when working out which Jobs to download to the device.
• Resolved an issue with "What's going on" showing the wrong icons for Jobs.

• Removed "Jobs" and "Defects" options from What's Going on Here. Replaced with the "Current Defects/Jobs" and "Completed Jobs" options.
• Changed Title and Menu bar to be fixed. This prevents having to scroll back to the top in order to change which view you are using or to use the menu option.
• Changed photos to also retain the EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data of the digital photo(which is held in the image file properties).
• Changed photos to also be compressed when linked to ConfirmConnect^® via the "file" button. Previously, compression only occurred when photos were attached using the camera button.
• Addressed an issue where ConfirmConnect^® could crash when taking multiple photos. This change should help to reduce the number of crashes on both iOS and Android devices.
• Addressed an Android specific issue which could cause ConfirmConnect^® to crash when taking photos. Android will reallocate memory when required which can cause it to close ConfirmConnect^®. In this scenario ConfirmConnect^® will now retain the photo being taken. The retained photo will be restored when the application is re-launched and the photo button is next tapped on that task. This will allow the officer to continue working without losing the photo taken prior to the crash.
• Addressed an issue where SOR Items were not being restricted by the "Device Data Key" available to the User on Contracts. This change will filter out SOR Items which are NOT on ANY of the Contract BoQs the User has access to. It does not limit the SOR items to only those of the chosen Contract BoQ.
• Resolved an issue where photo orientation was being altered for both iOS and Android devices.
• Resolved an issue where document links were not displaying the "file not found" icon when the folder containing the file did not exist.
• Resolved a performance issue when downloading Asset and Condition Survey tasks.

Changes which will be available once Confirm host is upgraded to V14 include:

• Added the ability to specify an "Earliest Follow Up" on the Inspection Type within Confirm. Inspection Features, with due dates within the chosen value's period, will be assignable by the officer (via the Select Routes option on the menu button, or by the Whats Going On Here's Due Inspection and Routes options). This will replace the current method of using 25% of the period set in the Inspection Type's "Follow Up" field. If no "Earliest Follow Up" has been specified, ConfirmConnect^® will revert back to using 25% of the "Follow Up".

Version 1.25.1.2
