Fixed SPRs in core v11.18:

PHS:

SPR 764 The co-investigators list will expand into the available white space when needed.

OSS:

SPR 796 OSS uses threading to be able to show progress in the scheduling process. OSS now keeps track of these threads and will prevent creating too many of them.
SPR 797 OSS could not schedule revolution 474 as it ran into an internal fault. The path to the fault went along trying to reschedule a GSHO which was not recommended. OSS's logic has been adapted to never touch a specified GSHO again.

Implemented SCRs in core v11.18:

PHS:

SCR 536 The Create Proposal Window allows to create a Key Programme typed proposal, generating an appropriate new ID (0531000, 0532000, ...).
SCR 579 On ISDC's request, new PADs will have an empty KEY_PROP_ID field for regular proposals.

OSS:

SCR 575 The list of candidate observations for scheduling has been improved to show whether the observation has any non-default setting in either parameters or telemetry allocation. (Due to technical reasons the indicator consists of an exclamation point after the proposal ID.)
SCR 576 Saving files after scheduling yields statistics, summary in both text and HTML format and plot files which will all appear in the /isoc/data/Statistics/generated directory. Upon sending a POS the associated files in Statistics/generated will be moved to /isoc/data/Statistics/sent. Files from any superceded POS version will be moved from generated to superceded.

Fixed SPRs in PLD v4.4:

SPR 768 Proposals where the PI last name contained an apostrophe could not be loaded into the DB. This has been fixed.
SPR 773 Proposal ID's for subscriptions to a Key Programme should follow the convention that the first FOUR character of their ID coincides with the proposal ID of the Key Programme, that they subscribe to. The last three digits are a free index, starting at 001. This has now been properly implemented, also for the case of multiple Key Programmes.

Fixed SPRs in web v4.2:

SPR 795 The scheduling pages show exposures that have been scheduled for the requested revolution. The logic as to what POS version to use has been updated to be: the POS version for which an ECS was received; if none of the POS versions was acknowledged by an ECS, the highest POS version that was actually sent is used.

Implemented SCRs in web v4.2:

SCR 580 The menu bar on top of the scheduling pages lists all available AOs (governed by 'web.showAO.xx' domain properties), the current AO is highlighted and is controlled by the new domain property 'web.currentAO'. Additionally, the links to INTEGRAL documentation below Core Programme proposal details can be configured by 'web.coreInfo.xx' properties.
SCR 547 The exposure map querying pages, enabling TAC panel chairs to get information on exposure time per point in the sky has been extended. The page now offers multiple maps, one for SPI and one for IBIS (which both have been updated) and each query can specify which map to consult.
