TO-DO list for TILDE DMS
Last updated: 17/02/2016 22:37:00
Problems to be fixed:
Item
Status
1
Fix the routine for selecting report numbers for inand out of zone under Zone Ranking. Check for all
kinds of constellations (e.g. no flow out of zone).
Done
2
Fix upload for Location Sketch. This should be a
button that opens a separate picture window with the
sketch in sufficient size.
Done. Additionally, a browse
function for uploading location
sketch is added
3
“Add new” doesn’t work the second time under
pressure records.
Done
4
Regional settings can prevent the data import. Check
how this can be avoided or simplified.
There is no solution known to
that problem.
5
Log file name: Show name of import file, not internal
serial number
Done
6
TILDE DMS main menu doesn’t appear in the
Windows taskbar.
Done
Suggested improvements:
1.
Item
Status
2.
1
Import of time series: This could be made in an
alternative way by using a template and copy/paste
the values for time and e.g. flow from an Excel
sheet. It should be possible to extend the time series
with new data within the same record.
Option for adding data to
existing time series is
prepared, but not functional to
date
3.
2
Graphical display of time series: This is too small at
the moment. It should be possible to zoom in and to
scroll if the time series is quite long.
Window size increased. Option
to view a defined data window
is implemented.
4.
3
Graphical display should be printable as post-script
file.
Graph can be printed to
standard printer and copied to
clipboard
5.
4
Time series should be in three columns! Date, Time
and Value.
Point of time (Date, time) is a
definite field in the DMS.
1.
Item
Status
Splitting this up would lead to
complications when choosing
time in further functions. It is a
very easy data preparation in
Excel to get from raw data
with separate columns to a one
column format.
6.
5
Add button on the main screen for Zone Flow
Survey that opens directly the already implemented
zone flow surveys without the detour via Zone
Ranking
Done
7.
6
Add a button under Zone Flow Survey to view the
calculated Netflow. Use the same routine as for
viewing time series.
Done
8.
7
Add “delete” button for pressure, flow, acoustic
records and zone flow survey
Done, also for reports.
9.
8
Start and stop date under flow, pressure and acoustic
should be automatically filled after importing time
series.
Done
10.
9
Colour coding for different cells: Cells that are nonedible, Input cells and Result cells with different
fore/background.
Done
11.
10
Result fields should not be editable.
Done for some non-edible cells
so far. Is under current
improvement
12.
11
Give units for numbers wherever it is feasible, e.g.
[meter], [year], but not for costs.
Done
13.
12
Add possibility to create new database. Avoid
copying the empty database from a different
location.
Done
14.
13
15.
14
Rename “Leak Report” into “Customer Leak
Report”.
Done
16.
15
Add field for “Costs” under Leak Location Report.
Done
17.
16
Add fields for “Estimated savings” and “address”
under Repair Record.
Done
Add help button in all windows to give a general user
help on its functionalities
Help text is written. Must still
be connected to help buttons.
1.
Item
Status
18.
17
Improve design of field work forms for the print
format.
19.
18
Print field work forms: Text file name and directory
should be possible to define.
Done
20.
19
Remove all Data Cleaning buttons. Not feasible.
Done
21.
20
Implement reporting: 1. Basically a print of the Zone
Flow Survey. 2. Repair information per zone. 3.
Max/min pressure/flow for each zone. 4. All reports
(Leak, Leak location, Leak repair) for a certain date
(day or month or year) 5. ... more will be specified
later on.
Suggested to move reporting
functions into respective topics
(flow, leak report, …) to avoid
double functionality. The
database under each topic will
then be possible to sort for
each attribute to obtain
aggregated information.
22.
21
Implement search function for attributes like Meter
ID or Zone ID in the database. Results: List of
records containing the searched attribute.
See item 20. Search function
can easily be substituted by
sorting attributes.
23.
24. 22
Add a button under main menu for general choice of
Done
units in the DMS, if possible also for regional settings
25.
26. 23
Drop-down menus with full text, not abbreviations.
Done
27.
24
Add save button for all records in the database (flow,
pressure, reports, …)
Done
28.
25
Improving logical order for zone ranking: Zone
ranking procedure moved under Zone Flow Survey.
When opening a new survey the routine for netflow
calculation is followed.
Done
29.
26
Viewing time series: The tabular form should show
time additionally to value. The choice functionality
for the viewing part of the data should be based on
point of time, not number of values.
Done
30.
27
Run-time error appears when choosing a previously
Done
saved Zone Flow Survey. (run-time error 3265: Item
cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the
requested name or ordinal)
31.
28
Rename window “zone ranking” into “MNF
calculation” when opening Under Zone Flow Survey
a new survey
Done
32.
29
Change “exit” into “calculate netflow” button in the
Done
1.
Item
Status
window “select period” under new Zone Flow Survey
33.
30
Run-time error appears when Survey report number is
not given first. Improve robustness of that routine
(run-time error 13: type mismatch)
34.
31
Improve generally robustness with run-time errors to
avoid restart of the DMS
This implementation will be
on-going when errors are
reported
35.
32
Add button under Zone Flow Survey window for
editing general zone data that is necessary for the
zone ranking procedure (data that is needed under
“input” window for “leakage estimate” under Zone
Flow Survey)
This item is going out. It seems
to be sufficient to do this
editing under the ‘input’
window for “leakage estimate”
under Zone Flow Survey
36.
33
Background losses estimate under “input” window
Done partly
for leakage estimate calculation should be non-edible.
The same is due for the values Observed MNF to
Estimated MNF under Zone Flow Survey
37.
34
Take over Start and Stop date under Zone Flow
Survey after selecting dates for MNF calculation
38.
35
Add comment fields to attributes
39.
36
Under window “MNF calculation” where reports can
be chosen for in and out of zone, a button should be
added to exclude a report from this MNF calculation,
e.g. a “x” button under the two error buttons.
Comment fields are added to
all attributes as a separate
table. This allows to easily
“translate” all attributes into
other languages. (some
coments are still not
implemented)
