Details pages were redesigned and optimized for readability making it easier to edit the key fields. The file attachment section was improved with thumbnails that show preview of pictures allowing users to easily find what they are looking for. These productivity tweaks should bring administrative tasks to the web and endear seasoned power users as well.
Subsystems, Packages, Milestones, Split Systems
All project hierarchy levels now can now be configured on the web including the less typical Milestone and Split Systems levels and their respective handover certificates. The existing apps for Systems, Subsystems, Packages were also updated with the new style and layout.

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 Checklists Tables: Eng Data input and PDF reports mismatch fixed Checklists Config: Preview report missing items fixed
Updating Eng Data with input from Field Inspection
Completion permissions via web
Multiple preservation checklists per tag
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
Checklist PDF printing (image attachment truncation fix)
Dossier Index Pages for Split Systems and Milestones
PDF Markups color-set
Comm. Procedures improvements
New Web Template
All Pims Completion Management web applications were updated to new Bootstrap version. This update brings more modern looks and faster performance, improves standardization across Pims modules, and also says final farewell to Internet Explorer.
Dossier Index Pages for Split Systems and Milestones
Configurable Index pages are now available for Split System and Milestone levels giving them the full feature set when printing handover dossiers. If standard report templates are not suitable for the task, Handover Configuration provides options to set custom report templates.
PDF Markups color-set
Tag Scrapping tool got a wider (40+) color palette for marking subsystem boundaries on P&ID drawings and adding test-packs responding to the recent user request.
Comm. Procedures improvements
Comm. Procedures gained more flexibility to change procedure number, exclude selected nodes from printing, and assign pre-requisite subsystems not only from procedure project but also from other projects.
Notable fixes
Project Look Ahead control in Web Dashboard
Project Look Ahead (web) links to handover certificates.
Just about every metric you might need about your ongoing project is at your fingertips.
At the top of the dashboard key performance indicators are presented. This gives a quick evaluation of how project is performing. Various metrics about engineering & scoping, punch items, checklists and handovers are available instantly in one glace, as soon as you start to scroll. Menu on the right side will help to navigate easily with just a single click, just press on a "hamburger" menu icon in the top right corner to open it.
More, there a settings dialog which gives a freedom to customize your dashboard and we have added descriptions next to each chart to help the users better understand the data.
As always, we are eager to improve, so let us know your feedback!

Web Subsystems, Systems and Packages
More web applications! Grids for main elements of Completion hierarchy will allow editing, reviewing the hierarchy and keep track of important handover dates without installing the winclient.
Offline Apps
Solidified offline mode with more user control when to sync the data back to the server and additional safeguards against a sporadic connection and data inconsistency.
Most popular and relevant status reports can now be launched on the web in the dedicated new CMS Reports app and via Project Explorer. The list of available reports can be configured further depending on the needs.
Web Active Projects
Project selector feature was added to the web which will let users show/hide the projects they are currently working on or not.
Secured Guest mode
Session based signing is removed from all web apps when the guest mode is enabled. This improvement will reduce the chance of mistakes and misuse when signing process is not directly supervised by the responsible personnel.
Optional PL column
Punch column (PL) can now be optionally removed from all ITRs and/or Handover Certificates. Just leave PL column header blank during configuration process and that is it.
