Next Release Candidates - Case 7.301

Ongoing Projects

The next release is primarily focused on longer term projects and back-end continuous improvements, to include:

longer term projects -- bi-directional mobile communications, estimate/operations table enhancements, improved visibility of open cases, improved OEM data integration, configurable OEM resource links, dealer business system integrations, and support for serial number-based assets (e.g., reefers, APUs, generators, etc.).
back-end maintenance -- platform upgrades and security hardening.

In addition, we are planning the following enhancement to come out in our next release:

This work has three goals:

Remove the need for the user to land on the Recommended Operations page when expecting to land on the Editing Case page
Make the feature work asynchronously, so that users can continue working with the case while the Campaigns and Recall data is being delivered to the case from external OEM sources
When using the Pending Asset feature, allow users to get the information about asset-specific Recommended Operations after an asset has been added to a Pending Asset case.

What changes can the user expect?

When creating the case, the user will go directly to the Case Information screen if enabled, otherwise to the Editing Case screen.
The user will see notifications if there are any Recommended Operations, as well as if there are Recalls & Campaigns that are in the process of being retrieved. The user can click those notifications to open a window with the relevant information, without navigating away from the case screen.
The user will see indicators at the top of the estimate/operations section if there are any Recommended Operations or Recalls & Campaigns as an easy reminder to check for them and to add any while they are building the estimate. These will also click to open a window to add the operations without having to navigate away from this section of the case screen.

We will be providing a Help Center article to cover the changes in more detail.
