Known Issues: All known issues will be considered for fixing in a future release.

In EQuIS Windows applications (EQuIS Professional, EDP, and SPM), moving a window to a secondary monitor that has a different scale may cause display issues. The application may appear partially blank or may not fully maximize within the window or screen. To reset the window to the correct display, click Maximize and then Restore for the window in the main monitor.

In Collect Enterprise, Multi Selector and Group Multi Selector field types are not displaying the "Multi Select Delimiter" option. The default value for the "Multi Select Delimiter" is a comma (,) which is being applied in Collect Mobile.

In Collect Enterprise, the Data Forms page will no longer display data in the User Groups column after opening the Uploaded or Status columns of a Data Form. User group data will be displayed again after refreshing using the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the Data Forms page.

In Collect Enterprise, not all formulas are evaluating as expected when using the "Test" tab functionality to assess the output of a formula in the Formula Builder.

In Collect Enterprise, the Drag/Drop functionality is not working when adjusting the Collect widget settings when using Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

In Collect Mobile, attachments added to Data Forms created on the server might not be visible to all users when syncing Data Forms.

In Collect Mobile, an error is displayed when attempting to load a Collect Mobile backup package on Windows 11, resulting in the backup package not being loaded.

In Collect Mobile, using Windows 11, generating a report (e.g., Form Summary, COC, etc.) and attempting to save the report to OneDrive will cause Collect Mobile to crash. This issue may also occur with other 3rd party cloud storage services (e.g., Dropbox, Box, etc.). The workaround is to download the report to the internal storage on your device and then upload it to cloud storage.

In EQuIS Link, the "Evaluate" functionality for assessing the output of a formula is not working.

Report Files

 

Republishing reports is an additional step that an admin-level user can perform after an installation or build upgrade. Below are the reports that have been updated or created with this release. EarthSoft recommends reports be republished for this build of EQuIS if they have already been published to the database.

 

As you run user reports and custom reports built on any republished reports, please ensure that they function as expected. If not, they should be rebuilt (e.g., reloaded with the published report, new parameters selected if needed, and user reports resaved or custom reports republished). Added report parameters or changes to the DISPLAY_TYPE of report parameters are most likely to affect user reports.
