Full Hydrocor Improvements
CO2 CWC Model Options Visibility
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.

This is done in Settings \ Maintenance \ PLSS Specific Data \ Pipe data \ CO2 CWC model.

Hydrocor App Level settings moved & new App Level added
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. 
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".
