What's New in EpochField 5.2.4
We’re pleased to announce the release of EpochField 5.2.4. The following highlights some of the new features available.
Product Highlights
Edit Multiple Work Features Tool Enhancement
The ‘Edit Multiple Work Features’ tool has been enhanced to allow field workers to draw a lasso/polygon by selecting points on the map for each vertex and closing the polygon by double-clicking/tapping on the final vertex. This precise selection method is critical for accurately managing tasks and bulk editing work features. The enhancement ensures the tool functions consistently with other polygon-drawing features in the EpochField platform, such as the WorkOrderPolygon.
Key Features:
- Vertex-Based Polygon Drawing: Users can now add vertices by clicking on the map and close the polygon by double-clicking/tapping on the final vertex, allowing for a precise selection of work features.
- Configuration Settings:
- This new feature is configurable through the <WorkManagementToolSettings> node in the application config. Add <LassoToolMode>Vertex</LassoToolMode> to set the lasso to “vertex” mode. Valid values for this setting are:
- Freehand
- Vertex
- This new feature is configurable through the <WorkManagementToolSettings> node in the application config. Add <LassoToolMode>Vertex</LassoToolMode> to set the lasso to “vertex” mode. Valid values for this setting are:
- This enhancement provides a more intuitive and precise way for field workers to manage their tasks, ensuring they can select and edit work features accurately and efficiently.
- Enhanced Printing Functionality
- App Icon Updates
Enhanced Workflow Form Flexibility
We have updated the Workflow Forms to allow Categories and Fields to be intermixed on the same form. Previously, single-select and multi-select options were in one section while fields for manual data input were in another, which was not conducive to how field workers complete forms. The new layout guides field workers through the form in a logical order, eliminating the need to hunt and choose fields, and Workflow Builder enables the creation of these forms using a drag-and-drop interface. Additionally, with this new approach, fields can be hidden as desired using Intelligent Workflow, reducing confusion and making the process more efficient for field workers.
Enhanced Edit Work Features Functionality
We have introduced a significant enhancement to the “Edit Multiple Work Features” lasso functionality. With this update, field workers can now see a list of all lassoed work features displayed on the left panel before the main form opens. This side panel allows users to view, select, or deselect work features for editing, providing better oversight and management.
Users can choose to edit individual features or apply changes to all lassoed work features at once, improving both efficiency and accuracy in task completion. This update streamlines workflows and offers greater flexibility when handling multiple work features. This enhancement provides a more controlled and flexible approach to editing multiple work features, ensuring users can manage their tasks more effectively.
Delete Work Features Directly from Forms
We have added the ability for field workers to delete work features directly through the main form. This enhancement also supports bulk deletion, allowing users to efficiently remove multiple work features at once, either through the main form or the pop-up form. This update simplifies the deletion process, making it more convenient and flexible for field workers to manage work features.
