Full Hydrocor Improvements

CO2 CWC Model Options Visibility

IMSFB-31606

Showing or hiding items from the drop-down menu of the CO2 CWC models under the Modeling section of the Expert Input tab of the Full Hydrocor is now possible.

User Instructions
To learn how to show or hide the models see: Hydrocor CO2 CWC Model Configuration.

Hydrocor App Level settings moved & new App Level added

IMSFB-27394

You can now set the Hydrocor App Level for each user from Settings \ Maintenance \ Security \ Users and selecting one of the available options from the Hydrocor App Level drop-down menu. Previously, this functionality could be found under My Account.

Hydrocor App Level settings were previously located under My Account. 
Now, Hydrocor App Level settings are located under Settings.

The following App levels are now available:  

  • "Expert"
  • "Expert Plus" - this level is only available for Users with the "CSA" Role.
  • "Hydrocor Viewer" - this level provides limited functionality for users who need to access the full Hydrocor but do not require the ability to save and calculate data.  

It is important to note that during the import of the Internal Corrosion file, the system will check if you entered the correct SettingsApplevel in the Excel File that you are trying to import. The numbers that can be entered under the SettingApplevel are: 

  • 2 for Hydrocor Viewer.
  • 4 for Expert.
  • 8 for Expert Plus.

For the file to be imported properly, you need to always enter numbers 4 or 8 even if the Hydrocor App Level assigned to you is "HYdrocor viewer".

To learn more about the Hydrocor App level and specifically the Hydrocor Viewer privileges see: Hydrocor Application Level.
