Custom compensations​

You can now configure custom compensations, such as meal allowances or position-specific add-ons, and allocate these to eligible team members during timesheet approvals.

These compensations are seamlessly integrated into timesheet downloads and the Timesheets API, allowing for easier payroll processing and accurate financial reporting.

Delete rotations​

Rotations can now be deleted directly within the Resource calendar, enabling you to easily delete a Personnel's rotation, without navigating to the Personnel's profile.

Exclude Activities from from DPRs​

Activities can now be excluded from your daily progress reports' “Needs Attention” section.

Mobile activity settings​

We have introduced two new settings to customise your mobile experience.

Default Activity Status: This setting determines the default status for new activities created in the mobile app. By default, this is set to None.

Register Time Later: This setting controls whether your company policy allows time to be registered after an activity is created or if it must be registered immediately. The default setting permits users to register time later.

Should you wish to change any of these defaults, please contact your account manager.

These settings apply exclusively to the mobile app, starting from version 2.5.0.

Import checklist templates​

In the checklist template module, you can now import checklist templates using CSV files to avoid having to add them manually section by section and step by step.

You find the functionality under work orders and checklist templates in the main menu to the left. Give our documentation a read to learn more about how it works.

Sharing bug fixes​

We have fixed some issues when creating new data in a work package ensuring the work package will be shared with all users with access to the work package automatically.

Feeder scenario modeling enhancements​

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Enhanced Feeder Modeling feature in our Design Construction software. This update introduces the ability for feeders to remain offshore for extended periods, delivering multiple assets sequentially to installation vessels with limited space. The new capabilities aim to enhance operational planning, improve installation workflow, and optimize feeder/barge usage in offshore wind projects.

Key Benefits:

• Feeders now have the ability to carry multiple components simultaneously and deliver them one at a time as installation vessel deck space becomes available in the case.
• Feeders can stay offshore longer, reducing the need for frequent returns to port, which lowers fuel costs and increases efficiency in the simulation model.

Technical Overview:

• We’ve added a "Maximum capacity per transfer to HLV" field to define how many components a feeder can deliver in one trip. If more tasks remain, the feeder will automatically move to the next location and await further transfers.
• A new "Transit to Next Asset" process has been introduced to handle feeder movement between locations. By default, the speed for this step is set to 0, following standard configuration rules.

Action required for existing cases​

A case checker will notify you to configure the speed for the new "Transit to Next Asset" step.

You must manually set the speed to an appropriate value before running the simulation again.

Bug fix​

We have addressed and removed faulty error notifications in Design construction > Asset > Task tab to improve the user experience and reduce confusion.

Route planner: advanced options​

1. Model various routes tailored to different logistic types, such as vessels and helicopters.
2. Choose the destination of each route from the base.
3. Define the logistic load conditions for each route.

For more details, refer to the route planner guide.

Practical applications:

• 10-knot speed restriction: Model the 10-knot speed restriction for the first 30 nautical miles outside the US coast, meeting US developers' requirements.
• Helicopter routing: Differentiate helicopter routes from sailing routes, addressing longstanding industry demands.
• Heavy lift vessels (HLVs): Plan different routes for HLVs entering and exiting harbors to minimize delays.
• Onshore transportation: Enhance modeling for specialized trucks, such as those transporting nacelles and blades.
• Floating wind: Distinguish between towing routes for semisub tows and regular sailing routes.
• Long Voyages: Plan distinct routes to ports and fabrication yards, considering cost-effective options like avoiding the Suez Canal.
