Note: These Release Notes only cover specific RCM enhancements. All other enhancements, not related to specific disciplines, are described in the IMS Planform (General) Release Notes.


Schedule and ECH Improvements

Schedules and ECHs are now aligned across Disciplines. For this the RCM Schedules and ECHs were updated. 

Aligning RCM Schedules and ECHs with Schedules and ECH across Discipline

IMSD-34280

IMSFB-36360

The RCM Schedules and ECHs have been moved to a One Schedule and ECH layout, to closely match the existing PEI layout, which dynamically changes based on the Discipline, e.g., to avoid showing NIDs in RCM Schedules.

  • RCM now have both the ECH and Schedules Main Screens. The grids are aligned with those in PEI, except for some minor adjustments. For instance RCM Schedules shows Source, but no NID timeline. The grids show all ECHs / Schedules (PEI, RCM, CIVIL, PLSS, TAT, FMA) from Equipment that are visible in RCM.
  • The RCM Schedule and ECH Details Pages have also been aligned with the PEI Details Pages, with some minor adjustments. For this reason RCM Schedules now have the new sections: Tasks on FLOC / Equipment, Scope of schedule, and Recurrence History. Also Event History is now included.

  • It is also possible to create Schedules and ECHs from RCM. The Schedules creation screen have been updated to show relevant Schedules Types and Schedule Drivers. 
  • For RCM only four Disciplines can be pre-selected by default: "Electrical", "Instrumentation", "NRB" and "RCM".
  • In RCM Schedules and ECHs can be created on either FLOC or Equipment level.
