  • For instructions on how to use the backup and restore feature, plus additional guidance, please view this updated page on the Versa Documentation site.

Improvements

Parcel Export Screen

  • Changed the formatting of how Site Visit Date gets exported to Parcel (Month Day, Year).
  • Changed the message that displays when variable replacers are succcesfully sent to Parcel.
  • Adjusted how the project number gets sent to Parcel (YYYY-#### with the #'s trimmed of any leading zeroes on the right side)
  • Changed the "construction drawings" field on the Parcel Export Screen to regular text so that you can enter anything you want into this field in order to adjust the date formatting.

Bug Fixes

  • Versa was accidently copying over the parcel url when copying projects. This has been fixed and now when you copy a project in Versa, it will not have the parcel export url saved in it. This is so you can actually export the project to parcel if you need to for revisions! 😁😅

Other Changes

  • We had to make adjustments to how Versa connects to HUD's staging / testing site for the E-Tool.
    • These changes do not affect how Versa connects to the regular / live site for the E-Tool (the one that we normally use).
