IA Desktop 2.8.0

Sep 27, 2012

Application Features

  1. Major Upgrade - Docs Reviewed: Inspectors can now reuse reviewed document records between questions over the entire inspection. Documents can be entered once and then linked to as many questions as necessary to document the inspection.
  2. Inspection Lock button and Lock Status display: Once an inspection is complete - it should be locked. In 2.8 users can lock their own inspections without administrative intervention. This feature is the first step in a series of inspection workflow enhancements coming soon.
  3. Custom Asset Creation: Inspectors may now define custom assets, start the inspection and then back-fill PHMSA unit identifiers when they become available. This feature will be used to support state inspections on assets that are not tracked by PHMSA unit identifiers, new construction and other special cases where PHMSA inspection units are not available or not desired.
  4. Screen Summary Question View: Screen summary questions (part of the Integrated Inspection process), are now more visible to all team members.

Additional Improvements

  1. All notes areas now expand to a fixed maximum height and provide a scroll bar when content requires it, preventing the text-area toolbar from being pushed off the screen.
  2. Results when pasting lists from Word documents is improved
  3. Search bar now appears in inspection tab, even when no activities have been set up
  4. Autocomplete suggestion list now works better with the mouse
  5. Enabling scribe will no longer close the current result, but will maintain the user’s position
  6. Improved button styling
  7. The Inspection Results Report (IRR) now defaults to Asset-based tabs. Previously, the default was Activity-based.
  8. Locked inspections are now available to all users in reports
  9. HL IM Field Verification Directive has been updated. Note that this will not affect existing inspections, but all inspections based on the HL.2012.02 version of the PRS will have the option of selecting or switching to this directive as an alternative to the previous.
