MTW-1711 | Currently, when using TimeLogRoundingInterval, on the initial form load the actual time is displayed on the form when the user times in and/or out but the rounded values are used for labor time. If you would prefer to display the rounded time, you can update the Offline HTML form in the Woodford project to change the value of the roundInitialTimeInOut setting. The default value is false, which displays the actual time value. By setting the value to true, the rounded time will display (but labor hours will still be rounded). For example, with the value set to true, and you are rounding by 5, and the user is timing in at 4:07, the time displayed is 4:05. If timing out at 4:32, the time displayed is 4:30. Previously, the actual time displayed on the form but the rounded values were used for labor time. To display the rounded time value:

MTW-1717 | When viewing historical calls on the device, we've added the appointment ID to the accordion title for a call that has an appointment resolution note. Each appointment is listed separately. For a service call with or without a call resolution note, only the service call ID is displayed. In the example below, service call 110922-0001 only has a call resolution note and service call 210816-0002 has two appointments, each having an appointment resolution note. |
Issues Fixed

MTW-1563 | When switching to SERVER MODE on a new service call, users with more than 500 pieces of equipment will now see the Search box as expected and will no longer be limited to the first 501 items. |
MTW-1579 | We've added the WSMobileLoadLocation stored procedure to only populate valid customer IDs. |
MTW-1583 | When creating more than one note for an entity, each Subject must be unique. Users will now see “Cannot Save Duplicate Note: Another note with the same subject already exists." |
MTW-1633 | The Summary tab now displays the tasks as expected in the Task Summary section. |
MTW-1650 | We've fixed an issue for iOS users where the Search section was not displaying in SERVER MODE for Locations. |
MTW-1653 | We've changed the Conflict Resolution to "Device Wins" for service calls and tasks (subtasks and task response) so that if there are conflicts, the information from the device will not be lost. |
MTW-1683 | After deleting a time entry, the related time log is now also deleted. |
MTW-1688 | Users can now create back-to-back time-out and time-in entries. For example, log out at 4:00 PM and then log in at 4:00 PM. |
MTW-1708 | The Task Responses string field has been updated to allow for up to 100 characters. |
MTW-1712 | Seconds are no longer used when calculating/rounding time in and time out values. Only the hour/minutes displayed on the form are used when calculating/rounding the labor hours. |
MTW-1720 | We've fixed an issue where a time entry was being created with a null transaction date. |
