Pirform 2019.2.1272

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest version of Pirform. This release includes new pre-release support for EICs, improvements to the inspection schedules for EICRs and EICs and a number of other fixes and improvements, in particular to the 2018 MW.

Update: 2019.2.1272 was not allowing boards to be excluded from 2018 EICs and EICRs, which is now fixed in 2019.2.1274.

Pre-release EICs

Pirform now has direct support for pre-release electrical installation certificates. You can mark an EIC as a pre-release certificate in certificate options.

This will enable entering and reporting of observations in the EIC.

And the certificate is given a watermark to identify it as a pre-release version.

Improved schedule items

We have improved the way you view and work with schedule items in the EIC and EICRs. We now show items that are sub-headings.

Schedule item subheadings

You can now also see the item numbers right next to the code, making it easier to track the item you are working on.

New: EICR 2018 now allows recording of the extent of sampling and the reason for the next inspection time interval.

New fields

Change redundant lookups removed (supply OPD type and OPD nominal current rating).

Change: removed duplicated values in OPD rating lookup.

Change: increased column widths in circuits and test results.

Change: increased certificate form width.

Change: Zs value in Part 3 was incorrectly showing board Zs.

Change: date of works now shown in MW 2018.

Fix: circuit details header was not printing if only one circuit printed on the last page.

Fix: combination of increasing number of ways and then merging all circiuts caused a crash when previewing.
