A new version is available on our demo server.

Changes:

• Maintenance: Kozlowski-Tools
  • Synchronization added for maintenance jobs and spare parts (jobs/parts not available at the source component will be deleted from destination component)
  • The data from the source component including the component itself can now be added as a sub-component to the selected destination component

Known issues:

• Maintenance
  • Components copied (added) with the Kozlowski Tools will not be shown immediately in the component tree. Use the Refresh function (or F5) for updating the component tree.

A new version is now available on our demo server.

Changes:

All “secret” features in the system (like the Kozlowski Tools) can now be enabled in the User Management module and will no longer require any secret key combination to be pressed. In the user management module we have added a new section called “General > Access to Pre-Release Features” where you can enable all the features that are currently not a part of official production releases.

Please note: These features are still in a pre-release status (in some cases this could be also a pre-alpha-status). They have not passed the final quality checks and shouldn’t be made available to regular users. These features are intended only for persons who are involved into the development process of these features and who are aware of the potential side effects the usage of these features may have on their data. You should be also aware that the systems Administrator automatically gets access to all these features (like any other feature that could be blocked in user management).

A new version of the software solution is available on our demo server.

Changes in this version:

• Maintenance: The Kozlowski Tools are now partially enabled and still have the following limitations: the Paste function will always perform a copy whether copy or move is selected. In other words: currently it is not possible to perform a real move of spare parts and maintenance jobs that causes the deletion of parts and jobs at the source component. After copying maintenance jobs to another component, these jobs will not be shown in the components document unless the maintenance schedules of the entire ship/site have been calculated.
  The Kozlowski Tools still need to be activated with the “secret” key combination and shouldn’t be used in a production environment without extensive testing.

This version is not approved for production systems!

Changes:

• Maintenance: Automatic detection of store/spare locations in component tree while moving components.
• Maintenance: Better handling of counter updates and adjustments while moving components (see documentation)
• Crewing: Default planning limits (min/max sea time, min/max leave time) per rank and ship can be defined in configuration module; values will be shown as default but can be still changed before starting the crew assignments generator.

Known issues:

• Maintenance: Component edit form: Only base counter value is shown; internal and manual counter adjustments not calculated into shown counter value
• Maintenance: Automatic activation/deactivation for moved components doesn’t work if moved component has its own counter

A new version has been installed on our demo server. This version can also be used for updating production systems.

Changes:

• Maintenance Module: Ships and sites will now be preferred for setting the responsibility of a maintenance job. This modification will be also distributed to existing site version as soon as the office server got updated.
