TBC 5.21 release - Integration workflow

● Assign TBC project to WM project

Config file support to Earthwork

WorksManager now officially supports control points (.cpz), avoidance zone (.avoid.svl), and feature code (.fxl) for Earthworks, in addition to the existing support for calibration (.cal) and geoid (.ggf) files.

No design republish on change of control points, avoidance zone, feature code library, and site.xml

Earlier, when any WorksManager project configuration file was changed, all designs used to get republished. In response to your feedback, the behavior has been changed to only republish project designs when calibration, and geoid files are changed.

Design description

WorksManager has added a description field for designs, along with version comments. With this feature, you can add a description when creating a design and also add comments if the design is changed and a new version is created.

Bugs

Device claim process

The claiming process has been optimized to make the workflow faster and more stable. When a device is being added to WorksManager:

● For a field device that has synced to TCC in the last 24 hours, it is claimed instantly.

● For a field device that has not synced to TCC in the last 24 hours, but gets synced within the next 48 hours, it will automatically be claimed within 2-3 minutes.

● For a field device that has neither synced in the last 24 hours, and does not sync in the next 48 hours, it is set inactive mode in WorksManager. A refresh icon is now displayed next to the device in WorksManager. Users can select “refresh” to claim the device back once it has synced.
