Shapes
- The maximum number of vertices allowed for Other Unit Shapes and Management Requirement shapes has been increased from 75,000 to 150,000.
- Improved an error that occurred when two incident shapes with the same name were loaded in quick succession.
- Fixed an issue so that the 3000-kilobyte size limit is now imposed on Incident and Analysis Shape Uploads and the Feature Copy.
- Fixed an issue where Management Requirement Shape vertices were being inflated when uploaded.
Incidents
- A Geographic Area Editor or National Editor can now blank out or change the Jurisdictional Agency at Point of Origin on the Incident Information screen.
- Removed inaccurate text from the Incident Names information box of the Incident Groups tab.
- Improved error messages so users know how to obtain data when a 'Java heap space' error occurs on KMZ Downloads.
- Fixed an issue where after viewing an Objective Shape from the Situation Map, an integrity constraint error displayed when Creating an Incident Objective or Requirement from the Edit Shape Associations dialogue box.
IRWIN
- The IRWIN Service allows for queries for updates from IRWIN to be pulled at a minimum of 1 second intervals instead of 1 minute.
- Fixed an issue where the IRWIN/WFDSS Comparison Screen would show the IRWIN DailyAcres as 0.1 even when the value had not been set in IRWIN.
- WFDSS will continue to set the Point of Origin (POO) Jurisdictional Agency Unit for records created in WFDSS. However, beginning in IRWIN V7, IRWIN will set the POO Jurisdictional Unit for all other records. WFDSS will no longer send the POO Jurisdictional Landowner Kind and Category to IRWIN, IRWIN will set it for all records.
- Added messaging to the Incident Information screen to display records in the new Fire Reporting status.
- Fixed an issue where the Incident History was incorrectly reporting that WFDSS Geospatially set the Jurisdictional Unit at Point Origin when it was set by IRWIN.
- Adopted the proposed NWCG Standard for Incident Names.
- Adopted the approved standard for Incident Cause, changing Unknown to Undetermined.
Data Layers
- Fixed the currency of the Mines data layer in WFDSS to 2017.
- Improved the speed of the Cadastral Values generation on Training.
- Modified the colors of the Federal Admin Boundaries to match the Jurisdictional Agency colors.
- Added the LANDFIRE Zones layer as a child of the Boundaries to the Map Layers. This layer was added to Production and Training to help with testing/debugging of the LANDFIRE 2016 data load and will remain on for analyst use.
- Adjusted the draw order for the critical habitat layer so that species covering large geographic areas no longer hide smaller polygons/species that cohabitate a given area.
- Fixed an issue where incidents using a unique fire id number that existed on the Production system, but not in non-production systems, resulted in incorrect historical perimeter updates.
- Adjusted the layer that determines if an incident is located in the United States. This ensures valid records are not kept out of WFDSS.
- Fixed the historical fire perimeters to correctly add drawn/uploaded incident perimeters to the correct historical year.
Decisions
- Fixed an infrequent issue in which a decision would fail to go to Review/Approval.
- Fixed the link to the decision list in the email sent to Owners when a decision is sent for Review/Approval.
System Support
- Added a new button on the Service Brokers page (available only to the WFDSS Support team) that will send a message to a Service Broker to restart after finishing any current work. This reduces the need to impact other transactions when a restart is needed.
- Reduced unnecessary image captures of M.A.P.s, improved the transaction message to distinguish between Vicinity Maps and M.A.P. map creation, and adjusted to reflect an error in the transactions rather than success when an M.A.P. image fails.
- Added logging to help trouble shoot issues with the Cadastral Data values processing time.
- Corrected an Image Failure email that occurred when users viewed the Report of a Completed Basic Analysis.
System Utilities
- System now uses the new Unit Update Utility. Unit Type is changed from Tribe to Sovereign Nations.
Administration
- Fixed an issue where the encryption in the link used to set an initial password for new accounts was incorrect.
- The Group Email feature now logs which users received and didn't receive emails sent through the system.
- Fixed an issue where the Password Access Link sent from the Help Desk failed for users with login ids of a certain length and characters. For example, user names that were 12 characters in length ending in an 'e'.
- Fixed an issue causing granted user role requests to show as requested after they were approved.
