  • When creating a controlled inventory after running a control strategy, the resulting datasets wouldn't use a user-specified prefix correctly. The controlled inventories will now be named with the custom prefix prepended to the original dataset name. Also, the custom prefix can start with a digit without causing any issues.
• Enhancements:
  • When exporting control measures, measures marked as Obsolete or Temporary will now be excluded by default. A new checkbox in the export dialog will allow you to include obsolete and temporary measures if desired.
  • Ongoing work is being done to keep the interface more responsive when the client application needs to communicate with the server or handle longer tasks.
