Table 1. Enhancements and New Features

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
The performance when uploading readings and marking Routes done has been improved.F38995
To improve usability, when you access the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, Routes are no longer automatically filtered based on settings in the Asset Hierarchy. Additionally, the Edit Filters button () has been removed from the Rounds Data Collection Overview page.US321122
To improve user experience, when you upload a large amount of data to the APM database, the progress of the upload is displayed as a percentage.US320799
To ensure Route information is updated before you begin data collection for Routes that have been enabled for offline access, data is now synchronized with the APM database both when you initially enable offline access and when you access the Rounds Data Collection Overview page.US315644
To improve usability, the page layout of the Rounds Data Collection module now switches between portrait and landscape modes when you rotate your device, regardless of the screen resolution of the device. This enables small screen devices, which use an adjusted page layout in portrait mode, to use the standard page layout in landscape mode.US291178
To improve usability in areas where network connectivity is intermittent, you can now force the Rounds Data Collection module to behave as if your device is offline by selecting the Disable Network Connection check box in the following locations:
  • The menu accessed by the settings button () in the large screen page layout
  • The Device Settings window in the small screen page layout
US290533
The next date for a Checkpoint is now updated when you mark the Route on which it appears done.US290514
To improve usability, in the page for a Route, in the Route Map pane, the Asset ID is now displayed across two lines of text to avoid truncation.US283079

To improve usability, you can now filter Lubrication Requirements on a Route by the specific Lubricant needed.

Table 2. Resolved Issues

The following issues that existed in one or more previous versions have been resolved.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, if you marked a Route done without first taking any readings, one of two issues occurred:
  • The Route was not removed from the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, the option to mark the Route done was disabled, and a Route History record was not created until you took readings for the Route and navigated away from the workspace.
  • The Route was removed only after an excessive length of time, and a Route History record was created, but comments were not populated.

These issues have been resolved.

DE100699
Previously, while using a handheld device to collect data for a route, the following issues occurred:
  • If you attempted to log in to APM installed in the device for the first time, an error message appeared, indicating that you failed to log in to APM. This issue occurred because the encrypted password did not match the password stored for the user in the device.
  • If you collected the route data, and then attempted to synchronize the device with APM, the route data failed to synchronize with the corresponding route in APM. This issue occurred because APM was not able to authenticate the user credentials stored in the device as the encrypted password stored in the device did not match the password stored for the user in Active Directory.
These issues have been resolved. Now, in these scenarios:
  • You can successfully log in to the device as the device uses the same password encryption method as APM.
  • You can successfully synchronize the route data stored in the device with the corresponding route in APM as the encrypted password stored in the device matches the encrypted password stored in the APM database instead of the password stored in Active Directory.
DE100680
Previously, if you cleared the reading for the first Checkpoint on a Route after having closed and reopened that Route, that Checkpoint was removed from the Route Map pane until you closed and opened the Route again. This issue has been resolved.DE99777
Previously, if you navigated away from and back to the workspace for a Route, and then closed the workspace for the Route after marking it done, the Route History record for the Route was deleted. This issue has been resolved.DE99181
Previously, if you deleted readings while completing a Route, some readings could be deleted unintentionally. This issue has been resolved.DE98984
Previously, while disconnected from a network, in the workspace for a Route for which offline access was enabled, if you marked the Route done after entering a comment, and then closed the workspace, you could still access the Route from the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, take readings for it, and mark it done. This issue has been resolved.DE97409
Previously, on small screen devices, there was no indicator that the device was disconnected from a network. This issue has been resolved. Now, an indicator is present when the device is disconnected from a network.DE95458
Previously, deleted Recommendations reappeared in the Recommendations pane in a Route if you created a new Recommendation without first refreshing or closing and reopening the Rounds Data Collection Overview page. If you then saved a deleted recommendation in the Recommendations pane, it also reappeared in the Recommendations section in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page. These issues have been resolved.DE94281
Previously, if creating an Operator Rounds Recommendation in offline mode failed, multiple Operator Rounds Recommendation In Error records were created after you synchronized the Route. This issue has been resolved. Now, only one Operator Rounds Recommendation In Error record is created.DE94304
Previously, while disconnected from a network, if you took readings on multiple devices for Routes with large numbers of readings, and then attempted to simultaneously upload the data to the APM database on those devices after reconnecting to a network, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE91520
Previously, when you collected data offline for all checkpoints on a Route and then closed the Route without marking the Route done, the progress bar in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page erroneously displayed a value less than 100%. Additionally, if you then marked the Route done, the Route History section in the workspace for the Route in the Rounds Designer module displayed a value that was one fewer than the actual number of readings taken. This issue has been resolved. DE90935
Previously, in the Device Settings window, if you set the device settings by selecting the Use Default Settings check box, and then signed out of and back in to the APM mobile application, the Use Default Settings check box did not remain selected, and the device settings were reverted to their previous state. This issue has been resolved. Additionally, in the Rounds Designer module, if an administrator sets the default device settings, the settings will take effect only after you have signed out of and back in to the APM mobile application.DE89212
Previously, when you marked a Route done while offline and then went online, the Route disappeared from the device, as expected, and readings were uploaded to the server; however, if you went back offline before the sync interval was met, the device storage was not updated, and the Route appeared in the Due section despite not being due. This issue has been resolved. DE89050
Previously, when you collected data for all Checkpoints on a Route and then closed the workspace for the Route without marking the Route done, the Route's progress bar in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page was not at 100%. Additionally, if you marked the Route done, the Route History section in the workspace for the Route in the Rounds Designer module was incorrect. This issue has been resolved.DE88747
Previously, on a small screen device, the percentage of the Route that was complete did not appear above the progress bar in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page when you were online. This issue has been resolved. DE88164
Previously, on a mobile device, after you cleared Route data from local storage, Routes stored on your device resynchronized with the server, but, once the data was cleared, there was no indication that Routes were still synchronizing. As a result, if you went offline while the Routes were still synchronizing, you were unable to access any Routes that were not finished synchronizing. This issue has been resolved. Now, while Routes are synchronizing with the server, a spinner appears next to the Route names in the Due Items or Overdue Items section of the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, indicating that synchronization is in progress.DE87172
Previously, a child conditional Checkpoint with a parent conditional Checkpoint appeared in the Route Map pane even if the necessary condition for the child conditional Checkpoint to appear was not satisfied. This issue has been resolved.DE86998
Previously, in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, if you were disconnected from a network, Routes for which offline access was enabled did not appear when they became due. This issue has been resolved.DE86306
Previously, on small screen devices, in the Rounds Data Collection Overview page, in the Assigned Routes section, you could not view the full contents of the Route ID column. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Route ID column has been lengthened, and you can scroll horizontally to view its full contents.DE85257
