Outbound Tracking Release Notes

released May 12, 2025

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bugs in DbAssemblyService and DbComponentService where the RefreshAvailableFields methods were performing thousands of queries when loading fields for inspection elements. The issue was caused by LINQ queries referencing ElementLookups after the query executed, triggering lazy loading for each inspection element individually.

released March 12, 2025

Features

• Added support for scheduling required machine inspections. Users cannot perform an inspection until scheduled work is completed. Configurable in Machine Inspection settings.
• Added support for requiring gage verifications via AIC Gage. Users cannot perform an inspection until the indicated gages are verified. Requires a running AIC Gage instance with URL, company ID, and matching shop code configured.

released November 25, 2024

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where plugin settings were saved as empty strings instead of null, causing PluginHelper to attempt loading a plugin with an empty name and throw a null reference exception. Now properly checks for null or empty values before loading.

Features

• Updated all plugin points to use PluginHelper instead of loading plugins separately. Plugins are now only loaded when needed, allowing updates on startup.
• Updated UpdateHelper to check for plugin updates even if no application updates exist. Application updates still update plugins automatically. Requires the new UpdateService.

released October 3, 2024

Bug Fixes

• Pressing ‘Enter’ while searching with the OSK disabled no longer triggers the search twice, preventing duplicate errors.

Features

• Updated plugin support for shipment events: BeforeSaveShipment, AfterSaveShipment, and ValidateComponent. Multiple plugins can now be specified by separating with commas, and warnings or notifications can be returned without blocking execution.

released April 5, 2022

Features

• Shipment Business and Accounts
  • Updated to allow for shipments to have business rules based on specific accounts

released Feb 15, 2022

Bug Fix

• The error message displayed when a component or assembly violates one of the business rules configured for the shipment was vague and didn’t indicate the reason the component couldn’t be added.

Changes

• When creating a new shipment, the fields that are required to create the shipment are now controlled by the shipment type’s configuration. The configuration of which fields are required must be set from Shop Manager.
