Release notes (v 1.87)

· 2 min read

We’re excited to introduce a series of powerful enhancements across the platform in this release, designed to improve visibility, control, and usability throughout your workflows.


📅 Planning

  • Auto-Scheduling in Gantt
    Auto-scheduling has been introduced to the Gantt chart. This feature automatically adjusts dates based on work order dependencies, helping streamline scheduling and reduce manual updates.

  • Work Orders on Gantt Chart
    Work orders are now visible on the Gantt chart even if they only have Baseline dates set, making it easier to track early-stage planning.

  • Transfer Manifest Sorting
    The transfer manifest downloaded in the planning board is now sorted by Asset rather than by date, helping you review asset-specific logistics more efficiently.

  • Activity Remarks in the Timeline
    You can now view remarks directly on the planning board timeline via activity tooltips, giving quick insight into comments made on specific activities.

    Enable this feature in your Planning Board settings.


📦 Work Package

  • Personnel Deletion Update
    To minimize the risk of errors, the option to delete personnel from the Work Package view has been removed. Personnel can now only be deleted via the Teams page.

🧾 Work Order

  • Work Order Progress Dashboard Download
    You can now export data from the Work Order Progress Dashboard as a CSV file for easier reporting and analysis.

  • Copying Work Orders Made From Sequences
    You can now copy a work order that was created as part of a sequence, improving flexibility and reusability.

  • Dependency Navigation
    Hyperlinks have been added to the “Previous” and “Next” dependency references in the work order table, allowing for quick access to related work orders.

  • Improved Filtering
    A new Apply Filter button has been added to the Work Order page filter. This allows you to select multiple filter values before applying them, rather than filtering immediately after each selection.

    The same functionality is also available on the Activities page.


🌦️ Weather Chart

  • Predefined Axes for Better Readability
    The weather chart now comes with predefined axes, making it easier to read and interpret forecast data quickly and accurately.

We're excited to introduce a new version of our Personnel Public Export API in this release.

Personnel data export API — now with custom fields and rotations

This updated API gives you more powerful access to your workforce data, with new endpoints that supports exporting organisation-specific custom fields and rotation schedules.

You can now programmatically export comprehensive personnel data, including:

  • Key personnel information
  • Custom fields (new)
  • Rotations (new)

Access remains secure via your existing token-based authentication. Standard roles and permissions ensure that only authorized users can retrieve sensitive information.

Swagger documentation available upon request.

Duration format now also available as hh:mm in addition to decimal hours

We've added the (hh:mm) format to the duration fields in report sections with duration and PDF exports of reports with those fields.

Approval comments for reports

You can now add comments when approving reports (DPRs, manifests, etc) with the status and comments now added to your PDF export as well.

Now the approver of reports, for example DPRs or transfer manifests, can write comments when approving.

These comments and the status are visible on the report in Shoreline and the PDF you can download.

Shoreline platform: 1.85.0

We're excited to introduce several improvements to the Defects module in this release:

Conflict warnings for defect resolution time

When planning an activity on a work order linked to a defect a warning now appears on the Planning Board timeline if the activity's end date exceeds the defect’s resolution time. A similar warning is shown on the Work Order page if the work order finish date exceeds the defect’s resolution time.

Quick access to Defects from work orders

You can now open a defect directly from its associated work order, making it easier to access relevant information without navigating away.

New defect charts for better insights

The Defects module now includes powerful visualizations to help you monitor and analyze trends:

  • Defects by Priority
  • Defects by Status
  • Defects by Type
  • Defects by Asset and Type

Shoreline platform: 1.84.0

Enhanced custom CV Creation

We have upgraded the Personnel CVs, offering greater flexibility and personalisation.

You can now customise CV content by selecting options such as excluding photos and names, as well as specifying the desired level of experience and skill set.

New rotation conflict resolution option

When creating or updating a rotation, you now have the option to "Ignore conflicts", allowing overlapping rotations to be scheduled.

Status on team positions

You can now set a status on positions on a team in the team composition section to indicate if a position is pending confirmation, confirmed unassigned or see positions that are assigned.

Output dashboard split view

The output dashboard is now split into two tabs: one tab for the data that is sampled across all runs (Statistical), and one tab with the data from a specific run picked based on the duration of the run or task group of the run (Run-specific).

This feature is only used for construction cases for now, which use specific runs to display timeline data (S-curve and inventory stock levels).

Sort run-based data by project or task group

For run-based data, you can choose how the runs are sorted. By default, runs are ranked based on the duration of the whole project (Project option). But you can chose to rank runs based on the end date of any of the tasks you add to your assets in the case (Task group option).

Example

In a project with installation and commissioning, you can rank runs based on installation end date instead of the project end date, which is when the last commissioning task is done.

View output dashboard graph explanations

Each graph in the output dashboard has an info button which explains what the graph displays.

Tow-to-port operations with PBA loss calculations

You can now model tow-to-port operations with advanced precision:

  • Compute PBA loss on the remaining WTGs in a string during tow-to-port operations.
  • A new toggle in the Corrective Maintenance tab allows you to include or exclude PBA loss calculations across the string based on your modeling preferences.

Logistic lead time inputs for towing vessels

Add lead time durations for towing vessels to model more accurate scheduling and downtime calculations.

Charter starts after vessel's lead time in Design Shoresim.

  • Vessel charters now span multiple work orders without requiring lead time resets after each round trip.
  • Lead time applies only at the start of the charter period, enabling uninterrupted operations.

Continuous towing in/out modeling

You can now model a scenario where towing vessels towing an asset back to the wind farm can pick up another for MCR during the return trip.

Enable this feature by selecting the new Allow Continuous Disconnection option on towing vessel instances.

  • Shoresim now prioritizes available chartered vessels before initiating new charters, reducing redundancy and costs.
  • Vessel charters remain active during towing-in and towing-out phases to avoid operational gaps. Enhanced coordination for multiple towing vessels ensures charters end only after their respective operations are complete.
  • Towing operation days are calculated only for the period between mobilization and demobilization.

Color-coded skills matrix

We've added colors to the skills matrix download to make it easier to see the status of the skills (Valid, Expired, Expiring Soon, Pending).

Manage work packages from the resource calendar

When accessing a work package from a rotation or work schedule in the resource calendar, it now opens in an overlay window. This allows you to view and edit the work package details while keeping the resource calendar in the background for easy navigation when you’re done.
