Summary

This release focused mainly on making improvements to available work data attributes, continuing our work towards implementing data upload interface options while also adding some client-specified customization options. New features are the inclusion of “Work Remote ID”, the ability to configure a custom login message, two additional valid file formats for attaching site documents, and a custom login duration allowance.

Highlights

The “Work Remote ID” Attribute

• While our last release rolled out a “Work ID” attribute which is akin to the “Site ID” attribute of an individual site, “Work Remote ID” has been rolled out with this release (akin to “Remote ID” at the site-level). While “Work ID” is an auto-incrementing non-editable numeric work record identifier, “Work Remote ID” is an editable alphanumeric identifier that can be used as a key between records within different applications.

• The inclusion of “Work Remote ID” will not only facilitate adding more robust upload/download data capabilities in the future, but also provide a versatile framework for the development of third party software data integrations.

• “Work Record ID” can be enabled by any administrative user via the Admin Center’s “Permissions Management” link.

Custom Login Message

• A custom message can now be presented once a user logs in.

  • A client requested that a disclaimer be presented about unauthorized access to anyone logging into their TreeKeeper system. Now that we’ve accommodated their request, it’s up to our client’s imaginations as to what they may want to include as their login message.

  • Please contact the Support Team if you’d like to request a custom login message.

Attach Video Files to Sites

• .mpeg and .avi video files have now been added to the list of valid file formats that can be uploaded to a site.

Custom Login Duration Allowance

• TreeKeeper forces the logout of a user after eight hours by default as a security measure and to ensure accurate login logging. At a client’s request, we can now set a forced logout relative to a specified logged-in duration.

  • Some clients feel that an 8 hour duration is a security concern, while others feel that too sort of a duration is disruptive to operations.

• Please contact the Support Team if the 8 hour time limit needs adjusted to meet your needs.

Release Summary

Summary

This release focused mainly on adding capabilities that will further enhance the future functionality of TreeKeeper while also addressing any reported bugs or errors encountered by users of the software.
One brand new feature in this release includes the ability to search, export, and report on a “Work ID” attribute. Progress has also continued on adding the ability to upload data form various external applications.

Highlights

The “Work ID” Attribute

• Users can now quickly reference individual work requests via the newly integrated “Work ID” attribute. Akin to the “Site ID” attribute of an individual site, the “Work ID” is a unique identifier for each instance of work (work record) created in the system. While a forester may have previously needed to provide multiple values (address, crew, work type, scheduled date, etc.) to relay a particular work record to a colleague, they’re now able to do so by providing a single Work ID value instead.

• The inclusion of “Work ID” will also facilitate adding more robust upload/download and data conversion capabilities as well as aid in the development of robust third party software data integrations.

• “Work ID” can be enabled by any administrative user via the Admin Center’s “Permissions Management” link.

Related Feature Link (Transfer Values) For Soft Transfers

• Our Transfer Values component provides a source/target relationship between features on two separate TreeKeeper map layers. Attributes of a newly added site (target layer) can be auto-populated based on the values assigned to the nearest (source layer) feature.

  • Transfer Values can be configured as either ‘soft’ or ‘hard’ transfers.

    • “Soft” transfers allow a user to change the value automatically assigned on the add/edit form.

    • “Hard” transfers require a user change the associated source layer’s feature if the value being auto-populated on the add/edit form needs changed.

  • Transfer Values can be configured between two editable data layers, or an editable layer and reference layer (such as a “Parcels” or “Council Districts” basemaps)'

    • When Transfer Values have been configured between two editable data layers, a link is available on the “View Site” form which allows a user to quickly reference the “View Site” form of its source feature.

• While previously only hard transfers offered the Related Features link, soft transfers do now as well.
