# Patch Notes 2.1.19

**Profit Ops Patch 2.1.19 has been released to the live environment. This document includes all changes made for the patch cycle ending 11/8/2024.**

## Global Changes

- **[Bugfix] When a new version of ProfitOps is pushed to the server, all users will be required to refresh their page before any interaction is allowed. [**[**#862**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/862)**]**
  - This prevents old and incompatible data retained on open tabs from causing issues after an update.
  - Helps ensure database integrity by preventing partial records updates or bad session states.
  - Ensures that users are always working with the most recent web data when returning from weekends or vacation days.
- **User sessions will now automatically log out after a twelve-hour inactivity window. [**[**#885**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/885)**]**
  - Previous settings allowed for much longer inactive login sessions.
  - Users inactive for twelve hours will be asked to log in again.
  - Users who work each day should not be asked to log in every day but will need to log in after a vacation or weekend off.
  - This provides greater security and prevents stale data from persisting on user devices.

## Projects Module

- **[Bugfix] Resolved an issue that could cause the project ID to show on the gate code field. [**[**#882**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/882)**]**
  - This could cause confusion for work crews and project managers using the system to access gate information.
  - System now correctly saves and returns this information.

### Manpower Assign

- **[Feature] Manpower cards can now be shown in vertical and horizontal views. [**[**#879**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/879)**]**
  - This allows users to switch between a traditional stacked view common to printed manpower reports, or to use layout common to task management apps like Trello.
  - Helps customize the planning experience to better conform to user comfort.
  - Allows the page to work better on landscape and horizontally mounted monitors.
  - Can improve readability and layout on large mobile devises like tablets.
- **[Feature] Implemented tool tips for the project and work order name fields inside the manpower cards. [**[**#884**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/884)**]**
  - These built in elements show additional details about an interface element, entry field, or drop down.
  - Help new users understand vague or difficult terms.
  - Helps accelerate system onboarding without the need to leave a page and read documentation.
- **[Feature] Users may now zoom out using controls on the site page. [**[**#878**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/878)**]**
  - This allows users to change the size of manpower cards without changing the size of other elements on the page.
  - This works separately from browser zoom, which affects the size of all objects on the screen.
  - Manpower zoom controlls are unique to the manpower assign page, and do not affect zoom on other pages.
- **[Enhancement] MOB crew members now show up in the correct region if searched after their MOB date range. [**[**#870**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/870)**]**
  - Manpower now accounts for MOB dates correctly and will show a crew member as available depending on the date range selected.
  - Attempting to place a crew on work orders out of region will generate a rejection message explaining the problem.
- **[Enhancement] There is now an indicator on each day where a scheduled Work Order has been changed. [**[**#874**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/874)**]**
  - The “ready to publish” button will change from a gray inactive background to an active yellow one.
  - This button must be selected for changes to be saved.
- **[Enhancement] Links to the Project and Work Order now open in a separate tab. [**[**#872**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/872)**]**
  - Previously, selecting a link would redirect from the current tab.
  - This helps prevent users from accidentally leaving and losing their un-saved changes.
- **[Enhancement] Printed Manpower charts now show service colors, work order colors, and a date stamp to indicate when the document was generated. [**[**#880**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/880)**]**
  - This allows users to better differentiate between different cards.
  - Provides reference to match a work order card to service maps.
  - Allows users to better identify the age of data and determine if a more recent document is necessary.
- **[Enhancement] Days that have no work orders are now displayed on printed documents if those empty days are selected on the Manpower Assign date picker. [**[**#877**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/877)**]**
  - Any day selected on the date picker will pass through to printed documents.
  - Attribute filters will not affect the days displayed.
  - Allows for better control over the information available on a manpower chart.
- **[Enhancement] Crews without WO’s are shown as a special card on manpower assign. [**[**#873**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/873)**]**
  - Preset crews that have not been assigned a task for the day will appear as a dedicated card on the manpower chart.
  - This card is available for each day selected on the date picker.
  - This information is also shown on printed forms.
  - Can be filtered out on the “Utility” attribute drop down.
- **[Enhancement] Crews on an active MOB are shown as a special card on manpower assign. [**[**#869**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/869)**]**
  - Crews scheduled to MOB over the displayed dates are now shown in a dedicated card.
  - MOB crews are shown to the sending and receiving region for each day that the mob is active.
  - Can be filtered out on the “Utility” attribute drop down.
- **[Enhancement] If no yard has been provided on a work order, the Region or Sub-Region will be displayed on manpower cards. [**[**#881**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/881)**]**
  - This helps with visual skimming and prevents the region box from being shown empty.
  - Cards will not always have some kind of location information instead of a blank field.

## TimeCard Approval Module

- **[Enhancement] Users can now delete time entries on the page. [**[**#883**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/883)**]**
  - Delete functions are reserved to select permission sets.
  - System will confirm each delete request.
  - A success or failure message will be displayed after each confirmation.

## HR

### Employees

- **[Enhancement] Remove restrictions that prevented users from changing the Current Region from HR/Employees [**[**#871**](https://github.com/holbrookasphalt/nos/pull/871)**]**
  - Remove validation that checks if the employee is assigned to a WO today or in the future on the mob region.
  - Remove logic that detaches employee from WO today or in the future when current region changes.
