This release focused on providing users with a new Pole Import Wizard, leveraging AngularJS & VueJS more broadly across SPANS to improve the user experience and performance and minor bug fixes.
The Pole Import Wizard allows SPANS users to collect data about poles involved in a proposal and bulk upload those poles into SPANS, eliminating potential data entry errors and reducing the time and effort required to create and submit proposals. The tool makes use of a configurable mapping file to define pole attribute source and destination locations and a simple UI to select the mapping file and pole source files.
SPANS use of the AngularJS & VueJS frameworks has expanded from its primary use on the Pole page to also be used with the Proposal page. These technologies allow for more client-side data processing, which reduces the number of queries back to the server and redraws of the Proposal page as users enter information into SPANS. The result is a cleaner interface, faster application, and better user experience.
A list of key updates is below:
- Pole Import Wizard in OH implementation
- Proposal Page usage of AngularJS & VueJS
- Bug Fixes:
- File upload does not validate
