2.0.1 (33)
May 23, 2024
This version 2.0.1 (33) contains fixes and enhancements to the previous 2.0.0 (27) release. I included more messaging when it is busy downloading data. This includes when you login and it is downloading a new order list, syncing the device with the cloud, getting field issues (especially the pictures), running a field issue report, downloading the graphic data for the 3d display, downloading a new order list for manage orders, forcing a refresh of the order data, downloading a new list of builders (internal only), getting truck photos. Anything that might take a significant amount of time will have the wait cursor and a message for what is happening. Corrections are: It now downloads a new order list when you click on manage orders (the pencil). An issue when a user that didn't have any orders in their "My Orders" list. Changed the color on switches to have a light green background when they are turned on. Part searching in previous versions would seem to lockup as you were typing in the part number, this was because the search started immediately. Now there is a 2.5 second pause before it starts the search to allow you to type in the part number. On a 1600+ ton order, searching for a specific part is now almost immediate. On iOS, if the search for a part returned enough packages that you needed to scroll, the keyboard wouldn't move out of the way so you could scroll to the bottom of the list. I now force the keyboard to disappear when you scroll. If you want the keyboard back, click in the search bar and it will return. Added the ability to request a field issue report on an individual field issue. If you have any issues or ideas, don't hesitate to contact me. Alan Anderson AAnderson@vp.com
MoreDo you have a specific order that I can look at? Typically, it is a project detailed in Tekla, however that should be supported with recent changes. If you contact me AAnderson@vp.com I can look at your specific order for any issues. There is a new version coming shortly that has some updates to the 3d part search.
