    1. Feature toggling can also be limited to only specific fields if desired (see release note from version 1.1.16 below)

  4. Updated monitoring of usage patterns within all/specific ValveTrack instances to understand usability and user tendencies. This will enhance the insights into knowing more about user demand, user training etc.

  1. Include Start and End Position Columns in the ValidOperationTypes Table

  2. Update checks/logs in excel (Create and edit Plans and Planned Operations type in bulk)

    1. submit the uploaded template for a plan so that plan status is updated

    2. download a template so that I can update status on the plan offline and in batch

    3. upload a template for a plan so that I can see a preview

    4. ((NB: this functionality is so far only available on demand as it is in the beta stage. Please email support if you / your project would like to to test it out on your ValveTrack instance).)

  3. Warning text will appear if adding a log where the initial position differs from the last final position of the valve

  4. Clicking on 'as-found' and 'as-left' images will be viewed in a new bigger pop-up in the tool, thus no more need to download to view details/zoom in

  5. Any search made in the valve list table will be remembered when going from one tab to another and then back to the valve list table overview

  6. Manage temporary equipment to be set as 'inactive' and not editable with a 'read-only' toggle in the Logs sub-section of the relevant equipment overview. This can be used to highlight the temporary equipment is no longer managed in the ValveTrack tool (such as SPAMMs, pig launchers etc.). A manager and administrator can set any valve and/or valve log to 'read-only', while only an administrator can set the valve/temporary equipment back to being 'active' (i.e. untick the read-only box)

  2. Added ability for a 4Subsea Global admin to feature toggle plans import for controlled rollout (i.e. decide what fields will have the specific feature)

  3. The valve is now hyperlinked when viewed/added in a plan. When clicking on the link, a new tab will open in the active window showing the valve's meta-data overview
