20.11.03 Briefing Note

PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The sections below detail enhancements that will be deployed to acumen the evening of 28 November 2020.

Users will need to do a hard reload of the system to see these changes. Instructions can be found on the FAQ page.

The relevant User Guide pages will be updated in due course.

New Functionality

Drag & Drop - Platform Change

In addition to accessing platform replan options from the right-click context menu, users can now initiate a platform change within acumen simply by clicking on the train and dragging it to a different platform.

The drag feature is constrained to the platform axis so users do not need to worry about maintaining the time while they drag.

Once released, or dropped, a dialogue box pops up to confirm the change.

Text Clipboard

Users can now right-click on a platform change (P) icon to copy text detailing the change onto a clipboard.

This enhancement is following a request from SSMs who are required to keep a log of changes.

Bug Fixes

Most/all of these bug fixes have already been pushed to the training and production servers since the 20.11.02 hot fix.

Split associations

The 20.11 upgrade introduced workarounds to improve how associations inferred by POINTA were displayed, and remove illogical associations from the docker. See 20.11 Briefing Note for more information.

However, where false split associations were removed from the docker, some split association conflict icons remained. An example is shown below.

Connection Editor

Improvements have been made to the formatting of the Connection Editor to ensure users can see the full list of available headcodes generated by the predictive text when searching for a headcode to connect.

Conflict Marker

The docker was not consistently displaying the yellow triangular conflict marker for all conflicts. This has been addressed.
