Field Inspection Reports - General

Version 8.0 Changes

• Modified the windows to prevent Unauthorization of the FIR if any Alt ID on the FIR is marked as In Use.

• The Alt ID Status of In Use is now system controlled based on linking to MRR's and the Alt ID Status will be protected whenever the system marks an Alt ID as "In Use".

• Modified the windows to allow access/update to the data on the Alt ID tab even if the FIR has been Authorized. Changes to any of the data will still be subject to the usual edits the system performs and will only be accepted if all edits pass.

• Added the Alt ID Quantity and Alt ID Available Quantity fields to the Report tab and to the printed report.

Version 7.2 Changes

• Corrected a problem that was preventing creation of a new FIR if a set of filter criteria returned no rows in a retrieve.

Version 6.0 Changes

• The Field Inspection Report windows have been enhanced to prevent further changes once a record has been marked as ‘Complete’. To revise a completed record, the user may change the Report Status to ‘Unauthorized’, which will unprotect the record and make it available for further updates.
• A correction has been made to various reports to ensure that Report headers are displayed accurately on multi-page reports within the window. The Remarks and ‘cc:’ information has also been moved to the footer section of the Reports to ensure that all information is accurately displayed.
• The Filter criteria on the Review Field Inspection Reports window has been expanded to include Test Category.
• The Review Field Inspection Reports window will now default the Report Status to ‘Complete’ and the Section Number to the appropriate Section when the Section Materials Specialist (SMS) opens the window.
• The window was modified to correctly word wrap the History Comment field.
• The Find and Sort functionality has been corrected to no longer display internal field names for Section and Report Status.
• The window was modified to ensure cursor focus and tab navigation is correct on all of the reports, even when errors occur.

Version 5.9 Changes

• A new Report Status of 'Complete' has been added to the list of available report statuses for all Field Inspection Reports. The purpose of this new status is to allow the Inspector to indicate that all of the information pertaining to a report has been completely entered and is available for Authorization by the appropriate personnel. When the 'Complete' status is selected, a notification will be sent to the SMS identified by the Section code (Field Inspection Report X: Complete Status Alert). The Metals Engineer will be notified for all Structural Steel reports (Field Inspection Report X: Structural Steel Complete Status Alert).

• The Inspection Result is no longer required for Field Inspection Reports that have a Report Status of 'In Process'. Once the status is changed to anything else, the Inspection Result will be required.

• The Material Unit of Measure now appears as part of the Material description on Report tab of the Concrete Pipe, Corrugated Metal Pipe, Guardrail, Precast Concrete, and Notice of Rejection Field Inspection Reports.
