IC-Inspection 5 Users

If you’ve upgraded from IC-Inspection version 5 to version 6, here are some quick things that you should know:

• The window manager has been replaced with the same panel manager used in NEXUS IC 6’s Inspections screen. See Desktops for more details.
• All grids in version 6 work in the same way. Once you’ve learned one of them, you’ve essentially learned them all. (Exception: There are one or two grids where the new multi-edit feature doesn’t work.)
• The Events toolbar is gone — use the Event Launcher and/or shortcut keys set up through Event Templates instead.
• The Events pane is now called Active Events.
• The Database Information pane is now called Active Inspection.
• The Assets window no longer has a column to show the number of remaining tasks. An Incomplete Tasks traffic light has been created to replace this feature.
• Asset information is now editable in IC-Inspection, if the user has that security permission.
• Text overlay is now part of Devices. Text Overlay Server is gone, as text overlay functionality is now incorporated directly into IC-Recorder (and some other third-party DVRs).
• The following windows are removed: CP Stab, Operation, Survey Charts, Video, Video Recorder. (If you want video preview, just run an IC-Recorder.)
• The Task Information summary showing number of tasks remaining has been removed. If you want similar functionality back, add a traffic light.
• Pipeline View (and Pipeline View Secondary) have been replaced with the all-new 3D Pipeline View.
• We now support 3D DWG drawings. (Bear in mind that large 3D DWGs may be slow.)
• If you are using a third-party DVR, you should test its integration with IC-Inspection 6 well ahead of your inspection. Third-party DVRs must now support our generic DVR control protocol to be supported in IC-Inspection.
