Bug Fixes

PNE-1148	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1128 There was a visual bug that would prevent the accurate display of gauges in the Period Detail view when handling a small bucket size. This has been fixed.
PNE-1945	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1945 There were some Internet Explorer compatibility bugs that were fixed. We will maintain our current state of IE11 supportiveness, where IE11 does work but does not have full functionality.
PNE-1992	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-1992 In PEConfig previously the “.CountOverTime” command could not be called twice in the same function. This has been fixed.
PNE-2008	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-2008 There was an edge-case where a “Setup” machine state with a duration of “0” would appear. This has been patched.
PNE-2024	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-2024 There was a bug with the SPC Module where messages would continue to flash despite values being within the upper and lower limits. This has been fixed.
PNE-2036	https://slxdev.atlassian.net/browse/PNE-2036 There was a bug where “Reason Exceeded” was not showing once the appropriate amount of time had passed for the Reason State. This has been fixed.

New Features/Status on Long-Term Work

Previously, Whiteboard was limited to 1 group level for Scrap entry. This enhancement expands this to 5 levels of grouping similar to Downtime.

The Enhancement is limited to Whiteboard as Analytics already has 5 level grouping.

5 Level Grouping will be available in all whiteboard operator entry screens: Hourly, Chrono, Dashboard and Analysis views.

Previously, only real time variables that are captured via PLC or signal could be displayed in a Quality Messaging banner.

This update adds the ability to display a process variable that is manually collected in Whiteboard.
