What's new in 6.3.89

• A Resource filter has been added to the Work Order Search section on the Hippo App!

Issues fixed in 6.3.89

• Older Android users were having an issue using the barcode feature on the App. The barcode association modal would freeze and the user could not select Yes or No.
• Estimated Cost entered into a Schedule Work Order would not display on the generated PM Work Order.
• The Priority was not displaying on a Work Order. The Priority defaults to medium and now the Priority field displays medium unless another priority is selected.
• The App was allowing a user to create an Asset without a name. Name is a mandatory field and is required to create a new Asset.
• Due Date was increasing by one day every time the 'Search' field was clicked on the Work Order Search Grid. This has been fixed and only the dates entered will be searched.
• A printed Work Order was displaying the wrong time in the Due Date section. A Work Order is due at the end of the day of its due date. The printed Work Order should display the due date + "23:59"

Issues fixed in 6.3.88

• When a User tried to create multiple "One Time" PM for the same date, the system would not do so, but the "Calendar Based Schedules" window displayed each attempt. This is has been fixed. The "Calendar Based Schedules" window only logs the one date that the "One Time" work order generated.

• In Hippo, there is a setting to automatically switch a work order to "In Progress" once a ticket has been printed. The Activity Log was not identifying which User batch printed a work order from the Work Order Search grid, therefore changed the status to "In Progress" This has been fixed.  The Activity Log now shows which User printed the work orders and ultimately changed the tickets to "In Progress". 

Released on Feb 9/2021

Issues fixed in 6.3.65
