Release Notes 2020.04.09

Summary

This release focused on making improvements to existing features including adding the ability to create charts in Report Builder and adding a new hard transfers option to our Transfer Values capabilities. One new feature is the implementation of a new duplicate-site checker/auto-sequencing function for clients that track sequential site numbers at distinct address locations.

Highlights

Report Builder Charts

  • Charts can now be created and downloaded via Report Builder! As long as a numeric column exists in a report, users now have the option to create bar, bubble, or pie chart choosing one attribute along with an aggregate (numeric) attribute:

Hard Transfer Values

  • While previous Transfer Values could only be configured as soft transfers, they can now be configured as hard transfers as well!

    • Soft Transfers

      • Values from the source layer will auto-populate the target layer attribute allowing the user to override the value being transferred

        • Example

          • The address number and street name within a Parcels source layer will auto-populate the address and street attributes of your Trees layer. If the address number in the Parcels layer is wrong, the user can enter the correct value within the add/edit site form in your Trees layer. This transfer will not affect any other layer.

    • Hard Transfers

      • Values from the source layer will auto-populate the target layer attribute. The user cannot override the values being transferred, and the values from the source layer will broadcast down to any child target layer(s) ensuring the values shared between them always match.

        • Example

          • The address number and street name within a Parcels source layer will auto-populate/update the address and street attributes of your Trees layer. If the address number in the Parcels layer is wrong, the user must correct the value in the Parcels layer. This correct value will automatically update the address assigned in your Trees layer.

          • If an additional Violations layer is configured as receiving address information from your Trees layer, the address information that transferred from the Parcels layer to your Trees layer will automatically update the address information within the Violations layer.

Duplicate Site Checker & Auto-Sequencing

  • Many clients track a numeric “Site” attribute as part of a feature’s addressing information. This number typically represents a sequence (1-n) number which increments along the flow of traffic for each side of a property (when “Side” is also being tracked). Unfortunately, these “Site” numbers can become duplicated or out-of-sequence when sites are added and/or removed. Fortunately, our clients can now opt-in to accessing our new “Auto-Sequencing” feature which determines which addressing fields are being tracked and provides re-sequencing options:
