Announcement 

As we wrap up 2023, here’s everything new to Field Manager this year and a first-look at what’s coming next in 2024! 

• We launched the multi-organisation SaaS platform in March 
• New plot server for automated export of soundings and pore pressure time series
• Linked Projects (share data across projects)
• Batch editing of tags, methods and status
• New import and export formats such as KML/KMZ, GeoJSON and Excel
• New API endpoint for GIS
• Several upgrades to increase speed/performance on backend, map and tables
• Files, images and source data on project level
• Edit project details and add a project description
• Additional WMS services (NADAG, NVE, GRANADA)
• API Toolbox with features such as NGF-mengdeliste export and CAD symbols for borplan (https://toolsfm.onrender.com/)
• Lab data (we have built full support for 7 index tests and all of the most common advanced tests such as TX, CRS and DSS. We are currently testing this feature on selected projects and will tell you more about during our next user meetup in March!)

In the new year, our immediate priority will be to complete the development of creating and exporting Map Layouts (borplaner) and a big update to the mobile experience. The first phase of the mobile upgrade will be released in early January together with another new feature - and upgrade to the "Edit location" menu and the ability to drag-move locations directly on the map.

In the meantime, I’d like to wish you a very happy holidays from us in the FIeld Manager development team. See you in 2024!

Improvement 

The Project attachments have been upgraded. Now, all files, images and raw data files for the entire project are shown in 3 separate tabs - Documents, Images & Data Sources. In addition, the import status of data source files is provided. Let us know what you think! 

Fix 

- Add error message if the KOF file contains TAB characters (not allowed).

- CSV import failure. 

Version

#1 Batch editing of status and investigation methods

Now it is possible for Admin and Editor to perform the following batch editing operations:

1.  Add new methods for multiple locations at once
2. Add/remove tags for multiple locations at once
3. Change status to methods for multiple locations at once

To select multiple locations quickly in the map, press Shift on your keyboard and drag the mouse over the map while holding down the left mouse button. A sidebar will appear on the right side of the screen where the editing can be done. The batch-editing menu is then accessible from the location table by selecting the "Batch editing" option in the hover menu.

#1 Project settings

Now the Project Admin can update the project name and number as well as adding a project description. 

Version 

Fix 

Fix crash during upload of medium and big files. Found an error in a library (charset-normalizer version 3.3.1) that use a lot of memory that again resulted in our process being killed due to memory over use. For now, downgraded to version 3.2.0 which does not have the same problem.

Version

Improvement

#1 Importing SND method files

• Import methods without any data from SND files will now set the method status to PLANNED instead of CONDUCTED.

#2 Importing CSV location files

• Extending the CSV Location import format with a METHOD column that allows specifying a method for each location. 
• It is possible to repeat a location to add several different methods. The TYPE (location type) column is now optional. 
• It is now possible to specify TYPE = "ONSHORE" (default).

 Fix

• Project Admin was not able to change the project coordinate system. Permission check fixed.

 Version

Improvement

• Improved plot and pdf templates for TOT and RP methods
• Improved auto-scaling for all the static plots.

Fix 

• Importing a .pvt file for a new Piezometer, we will set the model to "Geotech - PVT with memory" if the model exists.
• Fix a bug in the KOF writer format (output). Now right-align the coordinate numbers in the coordinate block (05).
• Change permissions for Project Editor to not be able to modify any Project metadata (project name, coordinate system, description).
• Fix crash if uploading an unsupported image type (for example a .dwg file).
• Resolve inefficient N+1 query in GET /organizations endpoint
• Resolve inefficient N+1 queries in GET /projects endpoint

Version 

Improvement 

#1 New API endpoint

• New endpoint for deleting multiple locations
  DELETE /projects/{project_id}/locations.

#2 Improve upload error message

• Added guard against uploading empty files. If the end user is selecting a file from inside a Zip file, then this will happen. Now we will return an error message instead of crashing during parsing of the empty file.

Fix

• Fix crash during import of SND GVR file with hydraulic piezometer with data, if location Z is zero (0).
• Allow methods without conducted date while importing SND files.
• Allow conducted date containing hyphen "-" separators during import of SND files.

Version 

field-manager-data-api: 4.2.35-16619

field-manager-web: 4.6.12-16622

Fix 

• Fixed the issue that the first render of linked projects is not loading.
• Fixed the issue that lots of requests sent to plot pdf export endpoint.
• Fixed the issue that some location filters are deactivated.

Version 

Fix 

• Fix crashes during loading of .pvt files without an installation time.
• Fix crash in parsing header time (HI) in SGF files. Did always crash if HI was present in the header. 
• Improved performance: Inefficient N+1 database query problem resolved in the endpoint GET /projects/{project_id}/summary
• Internal fix: Default values in some of the pydantic schemas
