BUG 2078: mobile claims crashes when merging temporary claim that contains a subtraction on a common wall

Symptoms: If the floorplan of a temporary claim contained a subtraction (Window/Door/Opening) on common wall (a wall shared by multiple rooms), mobile claims would crash upon merging the temporary claim into the real claim assignment.
Explanation: Fixed

 

 

 

Prior to this feature, items could be applied to an entire surface (floor, ceiling or wall) or to any lower portion of a wall (with the introduction of the 'Set Wall Height' feature in version 1.0). Now we introduce a nifty way to apply an item to any rectangular area of any surface. If only a corner of the floor contains carpet to be cleaned, or if you only need to replace a 2'x2' section of drywall, this feature makes life a lot easier for you.

 

To apply an item to a specific surface area on a wall or floor, don't drag the item to the floorplan/wall editor as you would normally do. Instead, tap-and-hold the item/action in the database view section of item pane. When the context menu appears, tap the option Set Area to Attach.

 

Next, tap-and-drag to draw a rectangle within the floor on the floorplan, or wall shown in the wall editor. As you drag you'll see the SF (or SY) calculation being computed. When you release the stylus, the item will be added to the item list with a quantity equal to that shown in the surface area that you drew, which will now be orange. The presence of handles on the borders of the drawn surface area indicate that it can be further resized (which alters the quantity of the item).

 

Keep in mind that just as you can drag items to walls or other objects (casing, baseboard) in the wall editor, you can also define a specific surface area within the wall editor.

 

 

A major improvement for the claim list—we've added some great new features that make working with your company's claims (even a very large list) much easier:

1. You can choose to group the records in the claim list a variety of ways, such as by Status, by Date of Loss, by estimate value (total of largest estimate in the claim).

2. You can select up to 500 records to be shown on a single page, reducing the number of pages to browse through.

3. Each record can be expanded to show more details about the claim without having to actually open up the claim to see them. You can also choose to show all details for all claims.

 

You can now print claim files within mobile claims. Unlike printouts from Symbility.NET, estimates are properly formatted, with page breaks arranged intelligently, and pages numbered in the footer. All pages in a claim file can be printed (with the exception of the Loss Summary page—that will be available shortly). Also, printing is available only with the PC version of mobile claims.

 

In addition to being able to print the Loss Summary page, the same proper formatting of estimates and all other pages will soon be available when printing from Symbility.NET (which will also automatically create PDF files).

 

No longer do you need to add items to your rooms in the actual order that they should appear in the estimate—you can now move line items within the item list by dragging-and-dropping. Select one or more items, then drag them to a new location.
