TRAIN Release: October 2024

The following is being released into the Train environment on 10/13/2024 for Web & LINK.

Please feel free to test these new capabilities in the Train environment, and let us know if something doesn't work as expected. Barring any critical updates or quality concerns, we intend to release this into the Live environment on 10/20/2024 for Web & LINK. More details and other supporting content, will be included in the full Release Notes.

We are also excited to announce the upcoming SafetyChain App deployment on 10/14/24, as highlighted in the recent Mobile spotlight post, "Announcing SafetyChain App Version 1.12: How to Access & Important Updates". Following this, we will continue to share the latest updates and reminders versions therafter.

Features Released

Forms

• (LINK) Popup to notify user when special characters are removed: Special Characters can cause errors in Charts, Form Transfer Utility and DPT imports. To prevent these errors from happening, we have implemented logic in Form Designer to remove the special characters (, ') from SHORT NAMES. The user will get a popup to notify them when the value is removed.

  • If you are editing an existing form, it will only remove the special character when you are editing that field. As with any edit to a SHORT NAME, please check your API integrations and Dynamic Flows if any other updates are required on other forms.

OEE

• (OEE) Downtime Sources & Reasons Analytics Update: Updated Out of the Box Downtime Analytics page to allow for easy pareto of Downtime Sources and Reasons. This update allows Users to easily analyze their loss sources and reasons.

• (OEE) Magnitude of Duration Display for OEE Event Analysis Page: Based upon the customer submitted idea, OEE Automated Reporting (Analytics/OEE)-Pareto Order, we have updated the OEE Event Analysis page to display events in descending order of magnitude based on duration. This enhancement improves reporting and visibility into high-impact events, enabling quicker issue remediation.

• (OEE) OEE Analysis Out of Box Report: In response to customer submitted idea, DT Reason tie-in to DT Equipment/Source, we've updated the Downtime Analytics view to streamline the examination of downtime events. Previously, the data was grouped by filter which prevented appropriate Pareto views for the losses. The new analysis is more intuitive and easier to follow using Pareto principles.

• (OEE) Modify Button for Quality Process Event: Provided a modify button for quality process event so that users can modify source, reason, additional details, time, and quantity for modification. This allows users to change more than one field at a time.

• (OEE) Rejected Quantity in Outcount UoM: Displaying the Rejected quantity in Outcount unit of measure, rather than Incount, will now provide a more proper alignment between the outcount and rejected quantity units of measure.

• (OEE) Updated DB Operations Error Message: Improved error handling by providing specific and informative messages when database operations fail due to field length issues.

Bugs Fixed

• (LINK) When editing requirements that are not marked for approval, the task creation process was failing. This has been resolved.

• (LINK) Fixed an issue where the edit icon - which allows changing details such as a document name or expiration date - was not consistently showing on completed documents.

• (LINK) When using a date range filter in Supplier Compliance, the filter tiles at the top of the page were not reflecting the same information as the grid below. This has been resolved.

• (LINK) Fixed an issue where saving a partially completed task generated by Dynamic Flow was causing the task to be removed from Inbox.

• (LINK) Fixed a bug in Value by Time chart, where Failed Icons were incorrectly displaying for compliant field values.
