GRID Release Notes

This page lists the release notes from every production version* of the GRID Product starting from January, 2017 when this
page was created. Gaia Resources would like to acknowledge the contributions from NRM Group champions in making enhancement
suggestions and testing, which is an integral part of the process of continually improving the GRID product. * unless noted
as “currently on testing instances only”

Version 1.5.7 – 07/06/2018

The following bugs were resolved in this release:

• Inability to edit baselayer symbology
• Non-administrators were unable to edit user layer symbology
• When a feature was set to ‘symbolise by attribute’, labels would not appear on the map

Version 1.5.6 – 18/05/2018

The following minor updates have been applied to this release:

• Baselayer symbology by attribute: similar function to previous Activity symbology by attribute, the administrator can
  now choose an attribute field in a shapefile and set the symbology settings for each unique value detected in the
  data for that field. A limit of 12 unique entries can be symbolised, and the remaining entries are grouped in a 13th
  “All other” category for the purposes of displaying on the map.
• My GIS symbology by attribute: in the same way as a Baselayer symbology can now be based on attribute values, end users
  also have this feature available to them for My GIS content.
• 13 base layers were reviewed and manually updated across four NRM GRID instances in this reporting period. These include
  layers that are updated frequently by custodians, where individual NRM groups have requested a manual update.
  In other cases, NRM groups have opted for the configuration or web map services so they can take advantage of live
  links to the data
  layers directly from the government custodian. The following
  layers were manually updated:
  • Properties (DPIRD-018)Mines and Mineral Deposits (DMIRS-001)Mining Tenements (DMIRS-003)• Townsites (LGATE-007)
  • State Road Network Future (MRWA-505)
  • Road Hierarchy (MRWA-515)
  • Road Network (MRWA-514)
  • Aboriginal Heritage Places (DAA-001)
  • Native Title layers (LGATE-066, LGATE-005, LGATE-067, LGATE-004, LGATE-173)
  • See summary table:

  on the Add and Edit module, by assigning Groups to them in the Admin module.

  to them in the Admin module. Within the Activity settings, the Administrator can choose to allow ‘view-only’ or ‘view
  and edit’ for each assigned Group.
• Assigned Groups are now available as a field inside Project, Activity and Base Layer lists.
• The Administrator can assign admin privileges to another user.
• Filter drop-down lists are now alphabetically ordered
• Bug fix: Date range filter/export problem has been resolved so that features with the correct date range are exported.
• Bug fix: Administrators now cannot add special characters to Activity and Base Layer names (e.g. commas, colons, semi-colons,
  slashes, ampersands), which were causing error messages and unexpected behaviour.

• Bug fix: Hierarchy for Organisations and Programs are now enforced. A migration has been applied to set a default Program
  and Organisation to orphaned records.

  the template)
