Version 5.7 Changes

• A correction has been made to the Asphalt Mix Design maintenance window in those circumstances where an AMD is retrieved from the Job Mix Formula window. If a change is made to an Asphalt Mix Design and the Job Mix Formula window is still open, the JMF window will be updated with the changes.

• The JMF% field has been changed to only accept one decimal place.

• A correction has been made to the functionality on this window to ensure that any changes made to a JMF that require history will automatically be displayed in the History tab. Previously, it was necessary to close/reopen the window to refresh the window and display the History record.

• A correction has been made to the Job Mix Formula window to prevent a new Job Mix Formula from being created with an invalid JMF number (less than 8 digits).
