To facilitate this enhancement, the following changes have been made: For TML IDs up to 80 characters, the ID is displayed as is in the TML ID column. For TML IDs greater than 80 characters in length, first 80 characters are displayed in the TML ID column. To view the complete value of the TML ID, you can hover over the TML ID field.	US518505
To enhance usability, when inserting or updating Thickness Measurements, you can now have GE Digital APM automatically correct the measurement based on growth. If the measurement value indicates a growth over a previous measurement, the system will automatically update its value with the value of the previous measurement. The originally entered value will be retained in the Uncorrected Measurement field. To support this functionality the following enhancements have been made: The Correct Measurements Based on Growth option has been added to the TM Admin Preferences page on the Global Preferences workspace. When you enable this preference, you can select site(s) that you want to exclude from this operation. A new field, Check for Growth has been added to the Thickness Measurement family. You must set this field to true in the Thickness Measurement datasheet when updating a measurement for the system to apply corrections to the current and the subsequent measurements on the Thickness Measurement Location based on the measurement updates. A new field, Basis for Measurement Correction has been added to the Thickness Measurement family. This field is set to Growth automatically when the system determines that the measurement contains a growth and needs correction.	US514853
To enhance usability, Thickness Monitoring is configured to use the TML Group family as the only way to group thickness measurement locations. To facilitate this enhancement, the Family Preferences workspace in the TM Admin Preferences page has been redesigned. You can now select the TML Asset ID for each family using the drop-down list boxes under the TML Asset ID Field column.	US445607

Table 124. Resolved Issues
The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.
Description	Tracking ID
Previously, the catalog queries that populated the Corrosion Rate Distribution and Remaining Life charts on the Thickness Monitoring Overview had poor performance in large databases. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Corrosion Rate Distribution query has criteria limiting to assets with corrosion rates greater than or equal to 10 Mils/Year and the remaining life query has criteria limiting to assets with remaining life of less than or equal to 5 Years.	US457578
Previously, in the T-Min Calculator workspace, when you modified the User Defined field, the T-Min Selected field was not updated. This issue has been resolved.	DE191127
Previously, users with MI Thickness Monitoring User security group permissions were unable to create a Piping Band. This issue has been resolved.	DE181965
Previously, when multiple Thickness Measurement Location (TML) records had a Measurement Not Taken (MNT) record as the last active measurement, and the TMLs Controlling Corrosion Rate was less than the assets Controlling Corrosion Rate, the following fields were populated and displayed as expected in the Analysis Output section: Asset Average Corrosion Rate Asset Average Corrosion Rate Next Inspection Date Asset Average Corrosion Rate Remaining Life Asset Average Corrosion Rate Retirement Date However, if the data for other TML records in the asset were updated such that the assets Controlling Corrosion Rate was less than at least one of the previously mentioned TMLs while still being greater than the Controlling Corrosion rate on other TMLs with MNT drivers, the fields listed above were not cleared and the Analysis Output section displayed the old data. This issue has been resolved. Note: It is recommended that you use the TM Bulk Analysis feature to recalculate assets that have MNT records as the last measurement on any TMLs. For more information on how to identify these assets, refer to the KBA 000037654.	DE181172
Previously, in TM Dataloggers page, when you attempted to search for TMLs in the Select TMLs pane, that were already displayed, the search did not return the correct values. This issue has been resolved.	DE179521
Previously, when you attempted to view Thickness Monitoring Locations (TMLs) in the Datalogger page, or if you attempted to send TMLs to the Datalogger, the inactive TMLs were not excluded by GE Digital APM. This issue has been resolved.	DE175250
Previously, in the Thickness Monitoring Datalogger page, when you sent the Thickness Measurement Locations to the 38DL+ device, the TML IDs were formatted incorrectly if: The Number of Readings field in the device was set to a value greater than zero. The Location field was not set to any value. Additionally, when you attempted to receive the file back in GE Digital APM, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved. Note: To resolve this issue, you must install the latest Meridium Devices Service.	DE174874
Previously, when you navigated to the T-Min Calculator workspace for an asset that had been enabled for Piping Rotation, an error message appeared when you attempted to load the TMLs. This issue has been resolved.	DE172811
Previously, if you were assigned the Metric UOM Conversion Set, when entering values in a Thickness Measurement Location record to determine Allowable Stress that had the Tank Type field set to Welded Shell, the Minimum Yield Strength and Minimum Tensile Strength fields were incorrectly populated with Imperial values. However, the value of the Allowable Stress field appeared correctly. This issue has been resolved.	DE156721
Previously, if the PV Stress or Piping Stress reference tables contained multiple records with the same combination of Design Code, Code Year, Material Specification, Material Grade, and Metal Temperature, the Allowable Stress field of the Thickness Measurement Location was populated arbitrarily with one of the records that was returned. This issue has been resolved. Now, the record with the lowest value of Allowable Stress will be used to populate the Allowable Stress field.	DE155129
Previously, when flipping or rotating a Piping Component, if a calculated measurement value created for a TML was negative, even if the operation of flipping or rotating the component failed, the operation was in progress in the GE Digital APM database due to which GE Digital APM stopped responding. This issue has been resolved.	DE153950
Previously, if you were assigned to the Thickness Monitoring Inspector security group and granted additional delete privileges, you could not delete a TML. This issue has been resolved. Note: If you do not have delete privileges, when you attempt to delete a TML, an error message will appear.	DE149731
Previously, when using Column Chooser from the Measurements section of the Analysis Overview workspace, you could add a field to the Display Fields section multiple times. Due to this, the data in the Measurement Table did not load. This issue has been resolved.	DE147750
Previously, when you logged in to GE Digital APM as a metric user and accessed the TML Trends graph, the values for Alert Level 1 and Alert Level 2 were incorrectly plotted based on their imperial equivalents. This issue has been resolved.	DE146040
Previously, when you attempted to send data to the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger device multiple times, an out of memory error message appeared, and the data was not sent to the device. This issue has been resolved. Note: To implement the update, you must install the latest version of the Meridium Device Service.	DE144901
Previously, for an Asset that contained multiple TML Groups linked to it, when the Corrosion Analysis Settings for the Asset were spread to the TML Group level, an error occurred when you attempted to modify the settings for the Asset. This issue has been resolved.	DE144873
Previously, a secured user who was not assigned to any of the Thickness Monitoring security groups - MI Thickness Monitoring Inspector, MI Thickness Monitoring User, or MI Thickness Monitoring Administrator was able to view the Create Settings button for an asset with no related Corrosion Analysis Setting. This issue has been resolved.	DE142333
Previously, in the Measurement Data Entry workspace, when you saved the data for Thickness Measurement, and attempted to navigate to the next page, the data was not saved successfully. This issue has been resolved.	DE172724
Previously, in the Bulk Edit TMLs window, if you selected a single TML, the Design Code column was too narrow to display the values completely. This issue has been resolved.	DE117841
