What’s New in Accela Asset Management System 8.6.18? Release Recap
Included below is an overview of the major new features and issues resolved in version 8.6.18. For a complete list of the new features in this release, please contact the Customer Resource Center.

Feature Enhancements:
Data Groups: Allows multiple groups to use a single installation of AMS while hiding or protecting data that is not needed by all groups.

Database Changes:
None

Resolved Issues:
When a new data group was added, an error would occur as the preferences were duplicated for the new group.

When a user was signed in as a data group member and selected the menu options "Work Orders>Schedules", an error was generated.

When a user modified an existing asset type that happened to have an attribute named "Rating", they would get duplicate field errors when they used the "recreate" option to apply their changes to the asset.

When a user attempted to use the "Inspections>Inspection Screen" "Rating" button to recalculate the ratings of an inspection, nothing would happen. The procedure would appear to run correctly but the inspection ratings were not changed.

When a user completed a work order and specified a completed date other than the current date, Accela AMS would complete and close the work order for the specified date, but would use the current date to update the completed dates on the records that linked the work order to related assets, addresses, and tasks.

"Invalid use of NULL" errors were occurring when printing work orders. This error only happened for data group members that had their data group's "work order numbering" preference changed from "Standard" to "Annual (sequential by year)".

When deleting one or more inspections, the system would generate an error for each inspection deleted. The cause of the error was that Accela AMS was attempting to delete related records that did not exist for NODE or COMPONENT asset types.

When creating a new inspection, the user could not enter data in the “Inspection Detail” grid until after the inspection was created and the inspection detail form had been closed, and the user then selected the new inspection for editing.

When the user generated PM schedules that were related to LINE assets types, the application would generate an error.

Product Roadmap
The next release of Accela AMS is TBA.
