What’s new in PTW 1.5.4.20

The following is a full list of features that were implemented in PTW 1.5.4.20 (patch release).

IBM Maximo Integration

IBM Maximo Application Suite is a set of applications for asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance, and reliability planning. PTW can now integrate with IBM Maximo and users can create Permits from Work Orders. Please contact Pisys Support if you would like to discuss the requirements of your system.

New Question Control Type that Triggers a Panel

We have introduced a new question control type that when used will trigger a permit panel. Details of the specific changes as follows:

Admin/Permit Questions/Control Edit

  • Add a new Control Type named “Panel Question”.
  • Selecting this Control Type triggers the display of a new row labelled “Select Panel”.
    • This row will contain a dropdown list of all Panels under the current Permit Version, excluding: the Permit Details panel.

Permit Edit Screen

  • For any Questions of type “Panel Question”, these will be displayed as Yes/No dropdowns.
  • If the User selects “Yes” for a “Panel Question”.
    • The Panel will become visible.
    • If there is an associated ‘Top Question’ (i.e., the corresponding fixed Panel question), this will be set to “Yes” and made read-only.
  • Note:
    • Under the circumstances where there a multiple “Panel Question” inputs linked to the same Panel, if any of those are set to “Yes”, the Panel will be visible.

If a Panel has no ‘Top Question’ (i.e., it is always visible under existing functionality), it’s visibility will now be dependent on any associated “Panel Question(s)”.

Custom Isolation Tags

Customers can now request custom isolation tags to be implement in the PTW system. Please contact Pisys Support for more details and to discuss your specific requirements.

Isolations Equipment column has been added to the Excel Export

The Equipment field when creating an Isolation has been added as an extra column to the Export Isolations (isolation list screen) excel spreadsheet.

Export now contains the following columns:

  • No
  • Description
  • Equipment
  • Area
  • Status

Site Emails Signature Box has been made optional

We have now made the site emails signature box optional. The changes are:

  • Added a new checkbox to the “Admin -> Site -> Site Email Edit” screen labelled “Hide Signature”.
  • When selected, the Signature Panel/Section on the “Additional Approval Permit” screen (i.e., labelled as “If approving please complete.”) will be hidden and therefore not required as part of the Approval process.

Site Emails to be made Mandatory before Approval

Site emails act as an additional approval step; however, a user must click on an email group to activate the additional approval process. This means users can skip approval by not clicking on a group. We have now made it mandatory for at least one group to be clicked.

Changes were made as follows:

  • Added a new checkbox to the “Admin -> Site -> Site Email List” screen labelled “Site Email Mandatory”.
    • Added further descriptive text stating: “Enable this setting if at least 1 Site Email selection is required for Permit Approval”.
    • To keep it simple, we have not added a Save button to this list screen. We just added a checkbox and upon clicking to toggle on/off, automatically save the selection and refresh the screen.
  • On the Permit Approval screen under section “Request Additional Approval -> Select the group who additionally need to approve this Permit”, if the Site has been flagged as “Site Email Mandatory”, the User will not be able to Approve the Permit until they have selected one of the available Site Email options.
  • Furthermore, if there is only 1 Site Email option, it will be selected by default.
