Epoch Solutions Group is excited to announce that the release of EpochField 4.3.5 is now available in mobile app stores for both Android and iOS and an install package for Windows 10 (UWP). EpochField is a complete, end-to-end multi-platform workforce management solution designed for both back-office work management and field crews to strategize, plan, and execute utility workflows in a map-centric, disconnected, real-time environment.
EpochField 4.3.5 is a minor follow-on to the previous 4.3.4 EpochField release. It continues to build on and strengthen the capabilities of 4.3.x EpochField in several key areas of the software and user experience.
For 4.3.5 to work as expected, please ensure the version alignment for your EpochField Suite is as follows:
- EpochField Mobile 4.3.5
- EpochField Workflow Builder 4.3.2
- EpochField Work Management Server 4.3.2

What’s New:
Synchronization of work order tables and work order features happens bi-directionally. This includes all work tables, including attachments which can become extremely large. There is a new EpochField Mobile application configuration boolean parameter under the <WorkManagementToolSettings> tag called. If this is omitted from the application configuration, the behavior defaults to false (current behavior, which is bi-directional attachment sync). Set it to true, and the work management replica geodatabase is created with the option to only upload attachments set, so attachments created by others are not downloaded. The usage is as follows:

Issues addressed in this update:
Bugfix #21493: This is a product enhancement that allows the user to save their layer visibility settings on a portal group level between application sessions. Settings are saved to the device and can be removed if the user chooses to. To save the layer visibility settings, the user can tap on a “Save” button on the Operational Layers Tool UI. These saved settings are removed from the device when the application is uninstalled.
Bugfix #24499: The animation behavior of the GPS symbol on the map can cause a spike in GPU activity, adversely affecting the usability of EpochField Mobile. To address this problem, we have added a configuration setting to the application configuration. Set the value to false to disable the animation behavior:
..
false
..
Bugfix #24821: Prior to this fix, EpochField Mobile for UWP could not be downloaded for offline install from the Windows Store, which is a requirement for some customers who distribute the app through their own MDM.
Bugfix #25187: This fix addressed a problem with the Click Integration tool where no matter which asset in a selection list is checked/selected for passing to ClickMobile, only the first asset in that list is sent.
Bugfix #25456: In short, electric tracing was broken. We fixed it.
Bugfix #25598: While trying to route from an asset on the map from the Identify results user interface, when using an external routing application, it throws an error message to the user. It would first display the error message about the Address Search not being enabled, with no additional information in the log. A second route search on a nearby asset does not throw the error a second time.
