Assignment Review Support

When having assignments that are delicate in the sense that those will be run on many vehicles or of other reasons, there is now support to appoint one or several reviewers of the assignment. Those reviewers can then approve or reject the assignment for the original editor to fix any problems. In addition to the review process of assignments, there is support to require that only reviewed assignments can be added to resource groups or WCU:s. Read more about the review process here and how to enforce that reviewed assignments on resources for WCUs here and resource groups here.

Record Result Files Announced to Third Parties

A column named 'Announced On' has been added in the result files panel to track when the result file was announced.

These labels are visible in the tasks panel. Read more about it here.

Support to Edit Values on Labels on Tasks

WCU Connected Column in Vehicles Panel has Better Mixed Time Format

The column 'Connected' in the Vehicles panel has an improved time format presentation. Earlier, it simply showed the number of minutes since a WCU last connected to the portal. This quickly became difficult to use and you had to move the pointer over the cell in order to get a hover message saying the actual date. Now, a mixed format based on how long the WCU connected with the portal is used. Up to a month since the last connected time is shown as, e.g. '7d3h11m'. When the time exceeds a month, the date is shown. Also, filtering is made using the format '7d3h11m'. Read more about this here.

Support for New Permission to Create Vehicles

There is now a Vehicle Create Permission, which enables non-admin users to create vehicles in the vehicles tab. Additionally, vehicles without a WCU connected will now show up in the vehicles tab for users with this permission.
