Single Row Spacing added to Spacing selection

Single-Row is now an available spacing configuration for precipitation rate calculations. This is available at the “Station” definition or in the “Sub- Area” when configuring the default values.

Notes:
Users can now add Notes from many places within CirrusPRO. What was previously known as “Notes” in the “Station” table has been renamed “Description” to avoid confusion with this new feature.

1. Creating Notes directly from the Map:

   • You can now add Notes anywhere on the Map. As an example, a tree fell down near Green #2 and you want to alert one of your colleagues. From the Map, from your mobile device, long press on the map where the tree fell and select “Add Note” (if on a PC, right-click to add a Note).

   • A small pop-up will appear for you to type your note. From a mobile device, you can use the built-in “voice- to-text” to dictate your note. Once your text is complete, you can use the “@” to assign this Note to a colleague. This will prompt a lost of users to appear for you to select. You can finish typing the name or select from the list.

   • Click the “+” sign to add this Note to CirrusPRO.

   • Allison will receive a notification from within CirrusPRO. When she taps on the notification bell, she will see that there is an unread Note for her.

   • When tapping that notification, it will take Allison to the Note that was assigned to her.
     

   • When creating a Note, you can mark it as “Urgent” by clicking on this icon

   • In the “Notes” section of the Map Menu, you can filter Notes by selecting the Filter icon.
