corrupted. Use of other database is encouraged.

New features

Creation of hyperlinks with markup langauge

Text fields that support the use of the markup language can now include hyperlinks to other web pages. The syntax for the links is: 

"link text (link title)":http://link.url

Better asset tree visibility handling

Asset tree is now shown and hidden using Javascript so that a page load is not necessary. This makes the interface faster and also preserves all the form information. The old method for showing and hiding the asset tree was preserved to support browsers without Javascript capabilities.

Enhancements

  • Markup helper buttons are now hidden if Javascript is not available.
  • Unused time fields are now disabled when creating or editing work orders.
  • Name of the report field group is now included in the report listings for columns with the same name.
  • Attachment listing now includes the attachment IDs.
  • User is now redirected to the asset information page when he or she selects an asset while viewing a report, a work order or an attachment.
  • Trying to view a non-existing data now results to an error message instead of application error (HTTP 500).
  • Searching users by login now lists all the matching users instead of redirecting to the user information page.
  • Better login and logout pages.
  • New report type wizard is now clearer.
  • Added sample online help for asset view and edit pages.
  • Asset tree is now visible by default.

Bugfixes

  • Fixed #22: Image fields were not filled in the downloaded OpenDocument reports.
  • Fixed #16: Uploaded files were silently truncated to 64k which caused data corruption.
  • Fixed #15: Possible parents selection was not uploaded when new report categories were created.
