      Release Notes - May 2021

      Summary

      Please find below a summary of the release notes for the next Core upgrade proposed for May 2021. This is currently being planned as a minor release upgrade. As such this will not require release candidate testing as we have historically provided for a major upgrade.

      Enhancements

      Appointment API - Additional data fields are now available

      The following data fields are available in our appointments API:

      • Additional Contact Type
      • Job Owner
      • Site Usage Type.

      These will also be made available in a future release of the mobile app.

      Display the desktop login page on mobile devices (Planned)

      Many users access the Oneserve desktop app from mobile devices and tablets. When you now enter the URL for Oneserve into a browser on a mobile device, the browser establishes that the user is on a mobile device and displays the login page for the old mobile web app. As the old mobile site is no longer supported, this functionality has been disabled.

      Authentication changes

      We have made changes to the way we handle user authentication to improve performance and mitigate issues for users on the mobile app.

      View performance improvements

      We have optimised the underlying data structure to improve the performance of obtaining Job Attribute information in Search Views.

      Bugs

      Issue: Unable to remove contact methods from a Job

      Resolution: The issue where removing contact methods (i.e. phone, email, mobile details) would not remove them from the database so they were still being displayed against the Job, has been fixed.

      Issue: Issue editing Job Contact details

      Resolution: Fixed an issue where modifying Job Contact would update the Contact record but not the Job Contact.

      Issue: Error when modifying contact details on a Job

      Resolution: Modifying contact details from the job page would throw an error. This has been fixed.

      Issue: Prevented from adding photos to an Enhanced Survey via a desktop interface

      Resolution: The file browser would not work when testing Enhanced Surveys or editing submissions on Enhanced Surveys. The issue has been fixed.

      Issue: Issue accessing Activities tab against Work Type settings

      Resolution: Certain characters (such as em dash and en dash) in activity groups or activities would cause errors when viewing work-type activities. This is no longer an issue.

      Issue: Scheduler will not render an appointment for a specific resource

      Resolution: Drive time calculation was failing when two locations had the same coordinates but different postcodes. This was preventing the scheduler from rendering appointments for a specific resource. This issue has been fixed.

      Issue: Wrong file being downloaded

      Resolution: Setting the same filename on two files being uploaded at the same time might result in the incorrect file being selected at download. This has been fixed.

      Issue: GetJobsByEvent API failing with code 500 error

      Resolution: Fixed an issue where resource work times not associated with an appointment would prevent the getJobsByEvent API from completing.
