On the List tab on the Labor Scheduling page, a new function was added that reassigns personnel to selected work order scheduling records.  On the List tab, when the user selects work order scheduling records on the grid, an alternate menu bar appears with functions explicitly used for multi select records. 



SOMAX added the new function titled Reassign to this menu bar.  When the user clicks the Reassign button, the function will display a popup that allows the user to select a personnel record from a dropdown list.



The user will select a personnel record and the function will replace the value of the personnel column for the selected work order schedule records.

Bug Fixes

Work Orders

  • Daily Labor Scheduling - Removed formatting on work order number that made it look like a hot link.
  • Unplanned Work Orders - User Interface Configuration changes are not being honored when Adding Unplanned Work Orders when using the Describe What You Need option.
  • Daily Labor Scheduling - When you select available work orders ,the list that is displayed will only display the first page. Other pages will not display any data even though there are work orders to display.
  • Work Order Search - Filter is not working correctly when the Work Order Search page is set to the Card View. The Filter columns Down Required, Assigned User and Required Date are not returning the correct results.

Preventive Maintenance

  • PM Forecast - When trying to generate a PM Forecast for multiple months out, the process is timing out and returning a Something Went Wrong Error. Since the process could take a great deal of time, we would like to make changes like what was done in reports.  The PM Generate process should have the pop-up that says it will take up to 4 minutes.
  • Preventive Maintenance - The Filter by Assigned function is still using the PM Assigned To column to filter the PM Scheduling records.  It should be using the PM Scheduling Assign To column.

Parts

  • Android Mobile Part Search - The tab key was showing instead of the Enter key in the keyboard display when searching for parts.

Sanitation

  • Mobile - Added Labor and Notes Tabs to Mobile Sanitation Detail page.
  • Printing  -  Generated Sanitation Jobs only allowing only 50 max to be printed.
  • Sanitation Job Search - Added Clear Grid Function.
  • Mobile - Sanitation Slide out does not remain in place after viewing the Detail page then returning to the Search page.

System Configuration

  • User Management - Filters User Type, Shift or Siteare not honored when you export the results.
  • User Management - There is a page refresh issue after using Change User Name function.
