IA Desktop 3.6.0

Apr 3, 2016

There are no process changes in this update. There are one or two new features to be aware of, particularly if you work with a large number of file attachments. Here are the highlights.

New Features

  1. IAD now supports direct drag-and-drop from windows folders into IA attachments. This feature is worth knowing about if you do a lot of file attachment management.
  2. IAD supports direct copy-to-clipboard of images in attachments. This feature will be most useful for those needing to copy photos from IA into documents or emails.

Other Improvements

  1. Planning interface now includes subgroup-headings with their own All/None action links. This makes it easier to fine-tune your subgroup selections when planning.
  2. Attachments saved with empty titles/names will get a temporary default name assigned (instead of just being blank). This will avoid “no name” attachments that are hard to find later.
  3. Large performance improvements for the attachments lists when photo thumbnail images are visible.

Other Changes

  1. (confirm)/(detail) Question suffixes are removed from the question export report for PRSs that’d don’t make that distinction (2016 +)
  2. Warn user when assigning a ISFORM to an asset with more than one underlying external_scope_ID (unit)
  3. Make year-entry in ISFORM is now keyboard friendly (mouse not required)
  4. Removed “attachments” tab and “config” link from overview. These links were left in as a transition step when we added tabs for these functions.
  5. Warning on Asset config screen when asset IDs are not selected
  6. Mitigated issues that occur when very large text blocks are pasted into textareas.
  7. Better display of asset names (shows long names in the expanded controls now, for easier identification)
  8. Configuration tab performance improvements
  9. “Must-Have-Supervisor” validation rule was relaxed to allow DIRECTOR or SUPERVISOR.
  10. Other minor bug and performance fixes
