| To enhance usabilty, in the Thickness Monitoring Datalogger page, when using the Olympus 38DL+ datalogger device, you can now choose to send a desired Inspector’s name when sending TMLs to the device. To facilitate this enhancement, when the Send To Device window appears, you can now select a value in the Inspector drop-down menu for each file being sent. If the current user is a TM Inspector, their name will be selected by default. The value selected in this drop-down menu will be used to populate the Measurement Taken By field of new measurement records after receiving and saving new readings in the Receive From tab. | US569534 |

Previously, on the Measurement Data Entry page in Thickness Monitoring, it was possible to click the Save or Save and Calculate button multiple times resulting in duplicate Thickness Measurement records being created. This issue has been resolved. | DE209596 |
| Previously, when you updated data of the Corrosion Analysis Setting of a TML, the TML Corrosion Analysis was not updated correctly during the calculation. This issue has been resolved. | DE209137 |
| Previously, the Minimum Thickness Type field was updated for TMLs that were not selected for calculation, when saved on the TMin Calculator Screen. This issue has been resolved. | DE208365 |

To enhance the usability of the TM Quick View page, the following enhancements have been made in the TM Quick View table:
|
|
| To enhance usability, the Last Measurement Date and Last Measurement Value fields in the Thickness Measurement Location’s Corrosion Analysis record will now be populated upon calculation even if there is only one measurement against a Thickness Measurement Location. Previously, the fields were not populated until there were at least two measurements associated. | US586832 |
| You can now load both Equipment and Functional Location data in a single Excel file using the Thickness Monitoring (TM) Equipment or Thickness Monitoring (TM) Piping Equipment data loader. To facilitate this functionality, the ASSET_FAMILY_ID column can be added to the Assets worksheet. This column should have the Family ID of the Equipment or Functional Location. If the column is not added or contains null values, APM will consider the data loader as Equipment. | US579346 |
To enhance the usability of the Measurement Data Entry page, the following changes have been made in the Measurement Data Entry table:
|
|
You can now export Thickness Measurement Data into an Excel spreadsheet from either of the following pages:
When exporting, you get an option whether to export Measurements or not. If you select not to export Measurements, the Measurement workbook will contain all the look up fields without the Measurement data. | US576946 |
| You can now delete Asset Corrosion Analysis and the Corrosion Analysis Settings records. Note: Delete option will be enabled only if the Asset does not have any associated TML groups or TMLs. | US571125 |
| To improve usability, the TM Analysis Output page now displays the first three available TML IDs in the Based On column for Controlling Corrosion Rate, Scheduled Next Inspection, and Projected T-Min Date. The View All option will still be available when there are more than three TMLs associated with the value. | US569835 |
To enhance the usability of the Thickness Measurement Location table in Non-piping Asset workflow, the following changes have been made in the Thickness Measurement Location table:
| US569829 |
To enhance usability of the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger device, support for importing measurements into Thickness Monitoring taken on a device with thru coat mode enabled has been added. The following changes have been incorporated to support the different file modes:
Note: When attempting to capture measurements on the device with thru coat mode enabled, the datalogger file must first be sent from APM with the File Mode Options set to Thru-Coat. | US560327 |

| Previously, you were unable to relocate a Thickness Measurement Location to an Asset if the Asset had child TML Groups. This issue has been resolved. | US590957 |
| Previously, when calculating the Statistical Corrosion Rate, the corrosion rates for TMLs with negative corrosion rates were used for the calculation. This issue has been resolved. Now, for TMLs with negative corrosion rates, the values are substituted with zero for the purpose of calculation. | US569838 |
| Previously, if you modified the Corrosion Analysis Settings of an Asset, some of the settings were not cascaded to the TMLs that were directly linked to the Asset. This issue has been resolved. | DE206155 |
| Previously, if you tried to spread the Corrosion Analysis settings from an Asset to a TML Group or a TML, the default Inspection Interval was not updated in the Corrosion Analysis settings. This issue occurred only if the TML Group on the Asset did not contain TMLs. This issue has been resolved. | DE206151 |
| Previously, if you modified any settings under the Asset Corrosion Rate section of the Corrosion Analysis Settings page for an asset and chose not to spread those changes to any related TML Groups or TMLs, then the subsequent value was not updated correctly for the Controlling Corrosion Rate on the asset’s Corrosion Analysis. This issue has been resolved. | DE205158 |
| Previously, for a Thickness Measurement marked as Nominal with the same Measurement Taken Date as the first actual measurement, when the second actual measurement was added, the nominal measurement was not inactivated. This issue has been resolved. | DE205109 |
| Previously, in the Global Preferences workspace, when the Correct Measurements Based on Growth check box is enabled, the Nominal Measurement was considered for correcting measurement based on growth. | DE205107 |
| Previously, when you configured Use Minimum Measurement Interval for corrosion Rates, the field values for Near Measurement date and Near Measurement were not updated correctly. This issue has been resolved. | DE204918 |
| Previously, when you accessed the Bulk Edit TMLs window, your datasheet preference for the Thickness Monitoring Location family was overwritten to use the TML Bulk Edit datasheet. This issue has been resolved. Now, your datasheet preference for the Thickness Monitoring Location family is changed only when you select a different datasheet in the TML Details section in Thickness Monitoring, or in Record Manager. | DE204529 |
| Previously, Undo Last Movement in Piping Rotations did not pick up the latest pipe movement if more than one movement was done on the same day. This issue has been resolved. | DE203231 |
| Previously, when viewing the TMLs tab of an asset in Thickness Monitoring, the column Remaining Life was displayed. The name of the column created a confusion, as the value displayed in this column showed the amount of remaining life as calculated from today rather than the value stored in the Remaining Life field, as the name of the column indicated. To remove the confusion, this column has been renamed Remaining Life From Today. | DE200905 |
| Previously, if all Thickness Measurement Locations on an asset were inactive, the Next Date field in the Thickness Monitoring Task family was not set to null. This issue has been resolved. | DE198004 |
| Previously, calculation of large number of assets in Thickness Monitoring failed. This issue has been resolved. Performance improvements have been incorporated for bulk calculations. | DE194891 |
| Previously, in the Analysis Overview page, when you navigated back using the Back button in the left navigation pane, the data in the center pane was not updated. This issue has been resolved. | DE157422 |
