Release 20.12



Welcome to the December 2020 Pims CMS release


This month key highlights include:

  • Documents and Drawings section in Offline Apps
  • Split Systems & Milestones timelines in Project Look Ahead
  • Basic Lookup in dynamic Checklists Tables
  • Flexible report templates in Multi Handover form
  • Boundary Drawing attachment type in System level Handover Certificate

Documents and Drawings section in Offline Apps

Offline Checklists App can download related documents and drawings for offline viewing in mobile devices and thus deliver additional documentation that is necessary for the field inspection. If network bandwidth is very constrained, the function can be toggled On and Off via Offline Settings.

Split Systems & Milestones timelines in Project Look Ahead

Handover planning and follow up can also be done for the less typical Split System and Milestones levels. Project Look Ahead form will let projects manager take a closer look at the timeline, view dependencies and meet the deadlines for these additional certificates as well.

Basic Lookup in dynamic Checklists Tables

A quick and easy way to create lookups is now available in Checklists Tables configuration where CMS Admin can simply type in lookup values and insert the lookup into the checklist. The advanced lookup is still there and should be used to fetch values dynamically from database tables.

Flexible report templates in Multi Handover form

Each certificate in Multi Handover form can be configured to use a separate report template. This variation is helpful since both Systems and Subsystems levels can be handed over in batches and this brings a need for differently structured reports.

Boundary Drawing attachment type in System level Handover Certificate

Previously Boundary Drawing option was only available at Subsystem level certificate and sometimes the Completion Lead had to manually extract PDF from each Subsystem Dossier Index and merge into a big file for the System. Now this process is automated with new attachment type at System level.

Other notable fixes and changes
Configuration: column based permissions for Tag Register added
Checklists: New Revision in batches added
Checklists Tables: Skip component count check option added
Checklists Tables: Date/Bit editing and rendering fixed

Web Dashboards and non-standard certificate names

More flexibility for the clients that are using differently named certificate IDs and phases. Certificates and phases can be mapped against internal labeling inside configuration forms. The dashboard will follow the mapping when showing counts, and thus reduce the need for more costly customization work effort. In addition, rundown/turnover charts were visually tuned up with the double y-axis.

Updating Eng Data with input from Field Inspection

Dynamic checklists tables provide a great way to record values straight in the field when filling checklists via mobile devices, ranging from serial numbers to measurements. Now, we have possibility to review those values in Tag Register and feed them back to Engineering Registers by using import function.

Completion permissions via web

Access rights to Projects, Contractors and Handover Groups can be also configured via Web UI. Clients using more of Pims R4 modules (Document Control, Workflows, etc.) will also be pleased being able to set up all permissions in a more unified way via the same web app.

Multiple preservation checklists per tag

Pims CMS now supports multiple active preservation checklists per tag. This feature will come handy for large and complex equipment as it lets each discipline have their own checklists with specific check items and signature boxes.

Notable fixes
Curves regeneration for Planned records
Printing Comments nodes in Comm. Procedures
