New Features

ASTM / Building Reports

  • Three new reports have been added to the deliverable report center. They can be found on the ribbon under the building reports ribbon group:

    • Below is an example of what the building types report looks like. All of the other reports look similar.

  • The look of the new reports is subject to change, but the data displayed is what you will get with each one of them. These are mainly intended for ASTM projects since the client does not have an E-Tool to see the building data.

Improvements

  • The Open Projects screens have been adjusted so that they now use data pagination. As a result, when you open the screen, it will not display all 4000+ projects all at once. You can still search however to find the project you want without having to manually navigate through each page:

- This change was made becuase the sheer size of the projects list was causing it to perform slower since we now have a significantly higher number than when Versa was first launched.

- Note, due to this change, the grouping feature on the grid cannot be used. This is a known drawback of the pagination feature and we cannot work around it.
  • Various adjustments were made to the variable replaces for the parcel export feature (I.E. Tooltips added, spelling of long numbers, etc).

Bug Fixes

  • Developers Only: Fixed a bug that was causing the report designer to not properly mark deleted reports as inactive.

  • Developers Only: Fixed a bug that was causing the open report window in the report designer to display incorrectly.

  • Developers Only: Fixed a bug that was causing the open report window in the report designer to cause errors to occur after it was opened up and closed.

Other Changes

  • Replaced all spots where Versa was using the old WebClient with the newer HttpClient since HttpClient is recommended with .NET 6+ by Microsoft.

  • Removed the test build configuration for Versa since we are not using it anymore.

Known Issues

  • There is a known issue right now with .NET 6 where errors may seemingly randomly occurr when displaying tool tips. Microsoft is aware of this problem but they have no ETA on when this will be fixed.
