Release Notes On-Premise May 2024

Custom SQL Window Added

RelNotes_CustomSQL.png

Path: Admin > Custom SQL

Summary: WebTMA v7 now includes the Custom SQL window. Use Custom SQL to copy standard System Queries or write and test your own SQL queries for the Executive Dashboard. 

In use, your users can view a data set represented on a graph, such as the data for a segment of a pie chart. By applying a drill-down query, you can click on a section and display a list of the underlying data in tabular format.

Details:

To enable the custom SQL window for your on-premise environment, click here.

Once custom SQL is enabled for your site, a new custom SQL can be created by going to Admin > Custom SQL, and copying an existing or adding a new Custom SQL following the rules outlined here.  

Your custom queries have several restrictions to protect you from malicious users that have SQL skills, for example, the term 'exec' is on the list of unacceptable keywords. The term will be screened out of any query and result in an error. In addition, all queries must start with SELECT and must be tested. If you have not clicked the Test Query button, an alert reminds you.

Queries are listed in the Records section of the Navigation pane. 

System queries are identified by a mark in the System Query check box below the Drill Down Query field. System queries cannot be edited.

Full details about Custom SQL are available here.

Favorites and Bookmarks Extended to New UI/UX

Summary: As WebTMA continues to make the user interface easier to use, the Bookmark and Star icons are now available on the New UI/UX interface.

Audit History View Added

Details:

This is a view to access when you build your own reports using the report writer application of your choice.

Equipment Record Design Change for Make/Model

Summary: The Make/Model feature in WebTMA allows clients to create templates for equipment management. This allows for more efficient standardization of PM schedules, parts list, costing, life expectancy, SOPs, and documentation.

The workflow process on the Equipment window has been revised for ease of use in assigning Make/Model and creating PM schedules. The Base PM Date field has been moved, and a Select Repair Center flyout has been added. You can now make all these selections from the Equipment / Identity Tab.

Details:

Previously, the Base PM Date was in the Dates section. It is now in the General Information section.

When you select a Make/Model Type, the Base PM Date field becomes required if the Make/Model has PM schedules.

An entry in the Base PM Date field triggers the following alert:

"When a make/model is linked, populating the base PM Date will Create PM schedules based on the make/model and risk level. Continue?"

If the record does not have any linked Repair Centers, click OK on the alert to open the Select Repair Center flyout.

When you choose and save a Repair Center on the flyout, the RC is added to the Equipment / Repair Centers Tab.

If the Make/Model / PM record has no RC, it defaults to the selected RC.

Report Writer  Report Criteria Syntax Link Added

Requestor Login - Request Status Browse Date Range Added

RelNotes_RequestorTimeFrameDropDown.png

Summary: You now have a way to select the time frame of records you want to see in Requestor Login Status Browse. Before this change, the system could time out while it attempted to load all records. The Work History grid now includes fields to set the time frame for viewing and reporting.

Details:

The default interval is the Last 30 Days, but you have the option to select any of the options illustrated in the screenshot at the left.

You can also search up to one year of historic data, and you can determine the year to be searched. If you need to see, for example, FY 2020-2021, just enter a Start Date of 07/01/2020 and End Date of 06/30/2021.

Pending Request results are also limited to the specified range.

UFI Export Date Default Changed

Path: Accounting > UFI > UFI Export Data

Summary: If a date format is not set up for the UFI Template, a new default is applied. Oracle databases expect the 24-hour format illustrated below.

Details:

When you do not set up a date format for the UFI Template, the output for flat files and SQL Server will default to the following 24-hour format:

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (example: 2024-04-04 17:05:37)

Path: Material > Key Management > Key Adjustments

Summary: Signatures can be used to capture a physical signature in an electronic format when you issue keys.

In this release, you have the option to add a hand-written signature to Key Adjustment transactions.

Other modules that qualify for signatures will be available in the next release.

Details:

The signature can only be added in Add mode and cannot be edited or altered.
