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.
