P2 Field Operator: Explorer Edition version 4.6.0 is a minor release that includes the ability to create a case\/task, set the number of days of comments in Map view, sort by location in Grid Summary, add HTML text formatting of tasks, record NGL volumes and record seals on meters.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note: <\/strong>Upgrading to version 4.6 requires a specific action. Please see the section, Explorer Settings Must be Re-entered, in the Release Notes for details.<\/p>\n The Comments pane on the Map view is meant to quickly alert the user to comments that have been entered about the production facilities on the downloaded routes.\u00a0 In the past this was hard-coded to show comments from the last two days.\u00a0 Administrators can now adjust the number of days of comments that will display in the Map view to suit their operational requirements.\u00a0 This setting is on the Field Operator tab of the eVIN Options screen in the eVIN Configuration Utility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The new setting controls how many comments display in map view (full history of comments is still available in grid summary view):<\/em><\/p>\n The Location Sort selection now remains the same as you move between the different Grid Summary view functions. For example, if Route Sequence is the selected sort option on the Daily Production grid, it will be applied to all Grid Summary view functions such as Forms, Tasks, etc.<\/p>\n Like in the eVIN Laptop <\/strong>application, daily NGL tank readings can now be entered in Field Operator (and ProCount 4.6). We\u2019ve defined a screen in the default metadata that captures NGL volumes in gallons using a Percent Full entry. \u00a0Please see the P2 Merrick 4.6 release notes for instructions on setting up this screen.<\/p>\n NGL Tank Daily Readings:<\/em><\/p>\n Like in the eVIN Laptop <\/strong>application, NGL run tickets can now be entered in Field Operator (and ProCount 4.6). We\u2019ve defined a screen in the default metadata that captures NGL volumes in gallons using trailer capacity and percent full entries.\u00a0 Please see the release notes for P2 Merrick 4.6 for instructions on setting up this screen.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve brought another ease-of-use feature from eVIN<\/strong> to Field Operator<\/strong> that optimizes editing data for prior days.<\/p>\n First, if the user selects a cell for several days ago and starts entering data, as the Enter<\/strong> key is pressed the cursor moves from the last cell of the selected day to the first cell of the next day until it reaches today and then proceeds to the next entity.<\/p>\n For example, if a user needed to adjust the gauges for a tank for the last few days.\u00a0 Using the Enter key will move the cursor through each day to the next day until today and then will move to the next entity.\u00a0 This is standard keystroke behaviour in eVIN.<\/p>\n Second, you\u2019ll notice a new Date selector on the top of the Daily Production entry screen.\u00a0 This selector allows the user to keep the cursor on a prior date.\u00a0 For example, let\u2019s say an operator has just arrived back to work after days off and his relief noted readings on paper but did not enter them in the system.\u00a0 The operator can enter all readings for a prior day by selecting the date in the on the top right and then the cursor will stay on that column as the user presses the Enter, PGDN, Up Arrow, etc.<\/p>\n In Field Operator 4.6, you can now capture seals on meters.<\/p>\n Note: <\/strong>This is driven by the screen settings in the Merrick Metadata Configuration Utility<\/strong>. You control which meters are included for seal entry by selecting Use the default Meter screen<\/strong> or Don\u2019t show for xxxx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Sometimes a Location name is very similar to the Completion name at the location. In this version we\u2019ve added icons on the grid views so that it\u2019s easier to distinguish the completion from the location. For example, on a list of comments it\u2019s now easier to tell if the comment is related to the completion or the location.<\/p>\n Additionally, in Location Detail with Daily Production selected, entity type icons are now displayed beside the entity name, helping the user to understand which entity is being edited.<\/p>\n In previous versions, when the user clicked on the ticket icon on the tank daily screen, the system always switched to the Forms<\/strong> view.\u00a0 In this version the system will make a decision.\u00a0 If there is only one ticket<\/em> the ticket will be opened directly.<\/p>\n Click on the ticket icon:<\/em><\/p>\n The ticket opens as there is only one ticket for the day:<\/em><\/p>\n When there are multiple tickets<\/em> for the day, the system will switch to Forms view to allow the user to select which ticket to open.<\/p>\n Additionally, there were some times when the ticket screen would show \u201cSave\u201d instead of \u201cSave & Close\u201d.\u00a0 In this version the ticket screen always displays \u201cSave & Close\u201d so that the user no longer will need to click \u201cSave\u201d and then \u201cCancel\u201d.<\/p>\n The following general rules apply to accessing the ticket screen:<\/p>\n The following information has been added to the sync log to make it easier to analyse the sync processes.<\/p>\n
