We have now added functionality to add and change the company logo in Field Manager. This can be done by all organization admins through the “Application Admin” page, which can be accessed from the start page.

In the future, we also plan to add the option to change the logo at the project level, allowing a project to have a different logo from the organization

New 

• Introduced Shapes as a replacement for project map layers
• Preview and export multiple cross sections
• Export cross sections to .SVG
• Support for importing SGF-formatted Dissipation Test (DT) files with .dpt extension (HM=35 only).

• Arrows and names added to cross section line DXF exports.
• Removed unused endpoint GET /users/{user_id}.

Change 

• Updated color on selected layout in map

• Improved error messages during import of piezometer data (CSV, XLSX).
• Better parsing of XLSX files with PZ data, including case-insensitive column headers.
• Enhanced error messages from layer/shape file parsing.
• created_by and updated_by fields now use the user's login ID (email) instead of full name.
• Improved LAS and Excel export performance for location raw files.

Fix 

• Fixed date format on comments

• Fixed handling of empty srid parameter in POST /projects/{project_id}/shapes. Now accepts integer, empty string, or "null".

• Resolved async bug in SND export endpoint that prematurely closed the database connection.
• Corrected cross section name on separate layer for DXF export.
• Fixed bug in export of comment codes for bedrock in SND files (TOT, SRS, RP, RCD).

• Fixed bug in exporting location raw files that caused slow or incomplete exports.

Improvement 

• Labels on cross section: Cross section name
• We have added linked projects to location filter 
• Improved error messages for cross sections 

Change

We have one very important change this release, and that is the changes we have made to the SGF parser. This will affect how we read SGF sounding files. The goal is to catch more anomalies in the files and present the results in a more consistent way. 

Changes:

• Update the SGF parser to line by line parsing, such that K-codes no longer overrule during parsing
• Use the accept_language header for cross section plot endpoint
• Fix LAS export interpolation when columns don't have a start or end value
• Add cross section toggle instead of map layout toggle
• Changed cross section styling: Line color is now yellow
• No duplicate names on cross section validation on front end

New

• Implement language option for cross section plot as input from endpoint
• Add zoom to cross section view
• Add SGF methods IW and INC

New FeaturesNew 

• Added support for project-level custom Web Map Service (WMS), enabling greater flexibility in map integrations.
• New import templates for CSV and XLSX files now include support for subtype

ImprovementImprovement 

• File downloads now use the correct encoding for filenames, ensuring special characters display correctly.

ChangesChange 

• Users with project-level access can now see the organizations their projects belong to, improving visibility across teams.

FixesFix 

• Resolved an issue where the MapLayout scale was incorrectly set; now correctly supporting a 1:200 scale.
• Added SP as an alias for hammering pressure in Total Sounding (TOT) and Soil Rock Sounding (SRS) methods.
• Fixed an issue where engine pressure from SND files for SRS was incorrectly placed in the remarks field.
• WMS/Organization checkboxes are now properly unchecked when the dialog is closed on mobile.

Breaking Change 

•     We have renamed the "type" attribute for the Dynamic Probing (DP) method to "dynamic_probing_type" to avoid confusion with what it represents.

Improvement

 Huge improvement to the linked projects feature:

•         We now show all locations from a linked project, with status of the location. Previously we only showed approved locations.
•         You can now view geotechnical data on locations from linked projects. The data is "read only" and no changes can be made to the linked data. 
•         Linked locations are now shown in the location list. 

 Landing page: 

• The map on the landing page now filters with the search and table view.       

New

•     Mobile: Button for uploading data directly in mobile view
•     Support for importing SGF formatted Dynamic Probing files with extension .dpsha, .dpl, .dpm, .dph, and .dpshb.
•     Support for importing SGF files with Weight Sounding Test (WST) methods using the old method code 2.

Fix 

• Mobile: Users can now view custom map layers from .dxf or .shp on mobile view.

There is a a lot being released today, but it's mostly minor changes and bug fixes. 

NewNew :

• Implemented WMS layer organization authorization to prevent loading organization-specific WMS layers if the user is not part of that organization.
• Added SRS, WST, and DP to cross section plots.
• Added support for the method Pressure Sounding (Tr) / Swedish trycksondering.
• Expanded export of cross section line from one line to multiple lines.
• Added placeholders for the Swedish method types Pressure Sounding/Trycksondering (Tr), Impact sounding/Slagsondering (Slb), and Stick sounding/Sticksondering (Sti).
• Updated the SND parser with better error messages for parsing .PRV files.

 ImprovementImprovement :

There's a lot being released this week: most are changes or improvements to existing functionality. Please note the breaking change in our API!

Breaking ChangeChange 

• We have removed the `location_type_id` attribute from the Location model. The attribute is no longer used and removed from all endpoints and return types.

What's NewNew :

ImprovementsImprovement :

• Introduced location-based zoom for onshore areas.
• Optimized marker layer rendering for projects with over 2,000 locations by delaying loading.
• Only markers within the visible map extent (with a buffer) are now rendered, improving performance for large projects.

ChangesChange :

• Improved compatibility by supporting the old format of PRV files that lack the A43 marker.
• Upgraded to the latest SND parser, which now treats piezometer code PP as equivalent to PZ in GVR files.

FixesFix :

• Updated TOT plot scaling for the x-axis to conform with the NGF standard for penetration force.
• Capped penetration force at 30 kN for TOT plots to align with standards.
• Resolved issues where SVT plots were generated without data.

We are contiuing the improvement on the method cardsImprovement :

• Added possibility to change status as a dropdown on the method card. Changing status has been removed from "edit method".

• Set a method to "voided" by single click on method card:

New API-functionalityNew :

• It is now possible to change filenames through the API. 

Latest release includes the following:

Change

• Plot figure numbers. If sorting figures by location, figure numbering = Prefix (optional) + Start number. If sort figures by method, for each method, figure numbering = Method Prefix + Start number. The default start number is 1.
