HFT Release Notes

Release 1.2, April 23, 2005
GENERAL NOTES AND QUESTIONS:
  1. Contents: This release contains the requested fixes and enhancements based on release 1.1.
Edit Hydrant/Outlet Info:
  1. Re: When users edit and save information on this form, they need a way to get back. Please automatically return to the previous page (and update data) when users click on save, OR add a button to return the previous page. Please do the same on the outlet pages.

    We added links at the bottom of these pages. Each page has a link to return to the Main Query Results page. The Outlets page has this link plus a link to return to the Hydrant page.

    Notes: (1) It seemed like the Hydrants In/Out of Service page could use this also, so we added the link there as well. (2) Since the main query page is dynamic and could contain any range of data, what the "Return to Main Query Results" links actually do is just re-submit the query that is in the left-menu query area.
Flow Test Entry:
  1. Re: When the reservoir/pumping plant/monitoring facility number is entered, please populate the descriptive text in the next field so user will know they’ve entered the correct number.

    We have done this and also displayed a pop-up message if the facility number is of the wrong type.
In/Out of Service:
  1. Re: The locking cap and date attributes are in the wrong place. They are not related to putting the hydrant in and out of service and they should be moved to the HYDNT_DATA table. This information should be displayed/updated on the form with hydrant and outlet data.

    The locking cap flag and date have been moved to the HYDNT_DATA table. Run the lock_cap.sql script to add the columns to the HYDNT_DATA table, populate those columns, and remove the columns from the HYDNT_SERV_DATA table. The original data from HYDNT_SERV_DATA will be in the LOCK_CAP_BACKUP table. When you are satisfied that the conversion is correct, the LOCK_CAP_BACKUP table can be dropped. The ColdFusion templates, Admin interface, packages, and views have all been revised. The hft-new.jpg contains an updated E/R Diagram.
OTHER THINGS WE DID ON OUR OWN:
  • Reservoir Validations: During testing we found that we were validating reservoirs too narrowly (FAC_TYPE_GN=3). We modified the validation to go against the FAC_RES_VU which allows types 3, 8, 43, and any fac with a fac_alt_cd like '%GRAD'.

KNOWN BUGS (FUTURE FIXES) AND REQUESTED ENHANCEMENTS:
  • Requested Enhancements and Problem Reports
    • Nothing to report.
