Partner Next

Partner Next has been rebuilt using Xcode 14 for iOS 16! Introducing Ride Out inspections (Line) on iOS! Partner Next now allows users to create and manage Ride Out inspections using the Distribution Inspection module. Administrators can now configure map timeouts. If an employee/user does not update their maps within the timeout period, all maps and configuration will be removed from the device. This is a security feature to remove sensitive data from devices (contractor devices). Contact Partner Support if you are interested in autofilling map download credentials.

Modified app to not have layout overriden by iOS's Dark Mode Temporarily removed zoom to find item feature added in recent update Resolved issue with Follow Me zooming in

This version of Partner Next has the following changes: -Support for Splitscreen on compatible iPads to allow side by side view of other applications -Searching and selecting items in the Find Item section will now zoom to that item for easier finding -Support for auto syncing of only dynamic modules such as Mobile Outage, AVL, and Live Publish to allow end users to stay up to date with live data and reserve inspection apps for manual syncing Dynamic Module syncing is an exciting foray into keeping the live data modules up to date without interrupting the data collection process of Distribution Inspection, Damage Assessment, and Right of Way Inspection. Crews can stay up to date with Outages, Truck Locations, and the endless other data providable through Live Publish without traditional auto sync interrupting. Split screen on iPads will also enable users to view other split screen compatible applications side by side with Partner Next. This has the potential to simplify a lot of data entry, copy data back and forth on one screen, have reference manuals open side by side, and even split screen with other apps that manage your electrical system.

Partner Next 3.4.4 brings the following: -Correction of an issue regarding downstream inspections in Right of Way being considered "duplicates" -Fixes an issue regarding rendering large shaded polygons in Live Publish -Addresses the notorious "Random Zoom Out" issue -Adds support for our new AVL module On fresh installs, some users may see an issue with Labels not showing. To resolve this, force close out of the application and restart the device. On next use the labels should reappear.

-Fixes regarding sync issues for certain users -Fixes issues to support ios 13.1.3
