DescriptionTracking ID
To improve performance, the Inspection Management (IM) Assets and the Inspection Management (IM) Functional Location Data Loaders have been enhanced such that you can upload Inspection Recommendations even if there are a large number of users in the Author Name column.US561867
To enhance usability, the MIExecutionService is now available in the APM server. It processes jobs in the Inspection Management, Integrity Mobile, Risk Based Inspection, and Thickness Monitoring module queues. The MIExecutionService uses a single shared ActiveMQ queue service across APM.US554741
To improve usability, the following changes have been made in the Inspection Overview page:
  • The complete Inspection Overview pane containing Inspections and related findings/Sub-Inspections are moved as subsections in the Inspection Overview page under a new section (Details).
  • The Create (), Link (), Unlink (), and Delete () icons have been added for related records in the respective subsections in the Inspection Overview page.
  • A new section (Scope) has been added under the Inspection Overview page with the following subsections:
    • Linked Inspection Tasks subsection: It provides a grid view of all the tasks selected in the Tasks Addressed field of the Inspection record.
    • Scope Details subsection: It provides a read-only text box with the combined Task Details of all tasks selected in the Tasks Addressed field of the Inspection.
    Note: The Inspection Task Details field of the Inspection is updated only with the values on Inspections that have been created or had the Tasks Addressed field updated in V5.0.0.0 or higher versions.
  • You can now create recommendations for General Findings and Checklist Findings. To facilitate this enhancement, the Create Recommendation icon () has been added in the General Finding and Checklist Finding subsections in the Inspection Overview page.
US546443
To improve usability, the MI Inspection Pre-Approver security role has been added that can be used to transition state for an Inspection if required.US543837
To improve usability, the State Management functionality is now enabled for review and approval process for the Inspection families. This feature provides the following functionalities:
  • You can now approve an inspection through State machine and assign specific users for updating a specified state.
  • The review and approval process are not dependent on a single user. Users with appropriate security roles can review and approve the Inspections.
  • The Inspection Report Owner field within an inspection is populated by default with the name of the user who created the inspection with an Inspector security role.
  • The Inspection Reviewers Name field within an inspection is populated automatically with the name of the user who transitions the state from Pending Approval to Approved, and has been removed from the datasheets.
  • The Inspection and Final Inspection Locks are set automatically based on the state update, which reduces the steps to approve an Inspection.
  • A utility is provided to configure the existing statuses to states, to support customer upgrades. If you want to skip the baseline upgrade and use the upgrade utility from the application, refer to the KBA 000039706.
  • State management functionality is supported through data loaders.
Note: To enable State Management for custom inspection families, refer to the KBA 000039742.
