OSM Model Changes From the Last Few Months

1. All Modules: A correction was made so that Global Search on Citizen Access works for all ePermitting agencies. (8/28/2023)
2. ​Public Works Module: Addition of new PW Document type: Floodplain Development Application. (9/8/2023)
3. Building Module: The Valuation Calculator was enabled on Citizen Access by Wednesday, Nov 8, 2023.  Public users will be able to see all of the Valuation Calculator values that are added to the record in the back office except the Multiplier and Extra Amount.  Public users will be able to navigate to the Valuation Calculator from the "Record Info/Schedule Inspections" dropdown menu. (11/7/2023)
4. ​Onsite Module: "Section Township Range" was incorrectly displaying for some Onsite user groups' menu navigation. This page is not used and should not display.  It has been removed for all user groups. (11/13/2023)
5. All Modules: Corrected error message in the Easy Scheduling Tool so that it is abbreviated and makes more sense to the user. (See before/after screenshots in the comment bubble). (11/15/2023)
6. Planning Module: Currently, the default expiration for Planning Tracking records is 365 days. With this change, the expiration can now be customized by agency.  Agencies can select a specific number of days or months (it will apply to all Planning Tracking records). (11/16/2023)
7. All Modules: The Record Status dropdown lists across all modules did not include all statuses.  This has been corrected so now users can use the Record List to search by status using all appropriate statuses.  For example, records could have the status, "Under Insp/Revisions Needed" from a workflow update but this status was missing from the Record Status dropdown so there was no way to search for records with this particular status until now. (11/30/2023)
8. All Modules: The Check Number field is now read only on the record pay form unless the payment method is set to check. (11/30/2023)
9. ​Onsite Module: A new checkbox labeled "Accessory Dwelling Unit" is now available on the Onsite Authorization, Site Evaluation, and Permit record types.  This can be used to note if a structure is an ADU.  The field is also available on Citizen Access for users to checkmark during the online application process.  It has also been added to the following reports:
         - Onsite Authorization
         - Onsite Authorization Application
         - Onsite Evaluation
         - Onsite Evaluation Application
         - Onsite Permit
         - ​Onsite Permit Application. (12/13/2023)
10. Planning Module: A new checkbox labeled "Accessory Dwelling Unit" is now available on the Planning Tracking record type and the Planning Type 1 record type for Full Planning. (12/19/2023)
11. ​Onsite Module: Newly Required Fields for Onsite Online Applications, see article. (12/19/2023)
12. Building, Planning, and Onsite Modules: Pictures and other inspection documents can be uploaded to an inspection by contractors through the Oregon ePermitting App (OEA) but there was not a mechanism to alert jurisdictions when this occurred.  There is now an alert that will appear in the back office in the Alerts page and will be emailed to the designated email inbox if a jurisdiction has elected to set up emailed alerts. If you have any questions about [email protected] this or would like to set up emailed alerts, please submit a ticket by emailing [email protected].
