Column Definitions:
Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.
UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.
UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.
Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.
| Ready for Use by End Users Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features. |
Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing. |

Work Order Maintenance Based on Group Permissions 
Your group permissions now allow you to perform the following tasks in the Analytics Insights interface or the Data Visualization map:
- Submit a work order for a meter
- Cancel work orders in the "Started" status for a meter
- Mute and unmute meters
- Add and remove feedback to and from a meter
This allows users to more efficiently maintain work orders based on their group permissions.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
New Group Permissions for Work Order Maintenance
New work order group permissions were created to facilitate work order maintenance.
WorkOrder: Users in this group can submit or cancel a work order, mute or unmute meters, and add or remove feedback to and from a meter.


WorkOrder Feedback: Users in this group can view work order details and a meter's mute status, and add or remove feedback to and from a meter.

WorkOrder View Only: Users in this group can view work order details, mute status, and feedback.

These new groups provide more discrete capabilities to manage work order tasks.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
