Issue KeySummaryDescription
NEW SETTING- Report Inventory detailsThere has been a change in the way inventory details are displayed in Inventory Reports (or reports containing inventory section). The item information will now be controlled by the flag "extraInventoryFields". This will allow users/admins to configure which extra inventory detail fields they would like to display on reports. In Code Management add new code:
Type: MobiReportFilter
Description: Extra Inventory Fields
Value: extraInventoryFields
Extra: text
Lookup Sort: 31

In Mobi Setup, for any msReport that contains inventory, add the flag:
Mobi Code: extraInventoryFields,

IMPROVEMENT- Alignment fixes to Check-off reportThere has been an update to the standard alignment of data for check off reports in Mobi.
The reports now get generated in the same mode as the device (portrait or landscape).
No change in usage required.
IMPROVEMENT- Event Logging
We've added extra event logging in Moveware to reflect what changes were made in Mobi. Previously we could often only see the updated value but not what it was changed from. The new event logging will show the original value and then the updated value so admins can easily tell what was updated by the user. No change in usage required.
IMPROVEMENT- Removed Line move buttons on costing screen
Previously the line item move buttons would allow a user to re-adjust display order of items in Mobi. This would cause conflicts with Moveware costing items. Line item move buttons have been removed to keep Mobi and Moveware consistent.
No change in usage required.
IMPROVED- Removed Fine art specific location field from Standard inventory screenPreviously users could see a location field of an inventory item under the item edit button even though this field was specific to fine art objects. This field has been set to only display for objects. No change in usage required.
IMPROVED- Added the ability to modify estimated Move date on Job levelPreviously users could only modify move date information related to diary actions. This can now also be set on an overall job level. No change in usage required.
IMPROVED- Report- Hide Object Last Used sectionA new report parameter has been added to allow for the configuration of showing/hiding an objects Last Used section. This can be enabled by adding the following parameter to the report:
Mobi Code=showLastUsedInfo, Label= Show Last used Info, Type= Combo, Options=Yes,No
IMPROVED- Report Image displaySet up images to display in a 2 column grid. No change in settings required.
IMPROVED- Report Text DisplayPreviously text would display in blue and black based on review questions/comments. A new report parameter has been added to allow for the configuration to print all text in black. This can be enabled by adding the following parameter to the report:
Mobi Code=printallTextBlack, Label= Print All Text as Black, Type= Combo, Options=Yes,No
IMPROVED- Report signatures displayPreviously having two signatures in the same section would display them one underneath the other, often pushing the report to extend to another page. This has now been fixed so both signatures display on the same line. No change in usage required.
FIX- Visibility of Header and footer in reportsPreviously some users may have faced an issue where the header and footer for a report may not get set (visible/hidden) correctly as per chosen option. This has now been fixed. No change in usage required
FIX- Stability Fixes to ReportsPreviously some IOS users may have faced issues where report files were not being generated and PDF/Email Button would freeze. This has now been fixed.No change in usage required
FIX- Radio Control Buttons on ReviewsPreviously some IOS users may have faces issues with Radio buttons not displaying properly. This has now been fixed. No change in usage required
FIX- Job setup of Asset Management JobsIn Moveware, the asset management settings are controlled by a parent code: sysparam-spare9[20]. Setting this parameter to N in Moveware means Cost centres cannot be changed and having it set to C means cost centres can be adjusted for Asset Management. Previously there was potential for inconsistencies when cost centres were set to Asset Management but the parent system parameter was set to No. A fix has now been put in place so that if the parent system parameter=N, then Mobi will also not adjust the inventory screen layout. No change in usage required.
FIX- Issue with Crate packing Previously some users may have found an issue where the "crate" packing material would disappear from packing materials after dimensions were edited and pack method was updated. This has been fixed to work regardless of unit of measure being used. No change in usage required.
FIX- Use new Diary address on reportsMoveware has a system parameter called "UseNewDiaryAddress". When set to Yes, the diary address has a different format. Previously users with this setting found that reports would not always display the correct job/diary information. A change has been made in Mobi for users using this setting so Mobi will display details as follows:

If the phone number from Diary is not populated, display the phone number from the Job Details tab.
If the phone number from Diary is populated, only display the phone number from the Diary.

If the email from Diary is not populated, display the email from the Job Details tab.
If the email from Diary is populated, only display the email from Diary.

If the address from Diary is not populated, display the address from the Job Details tab.
If the address from Diary is populated, only display the address from Diary.
No change in usage required.
