Release Notes - 16th September 2025

This release contains some tweaks to Cost and Volume Outputs and some modifications to the search function within the Workbank:

  1. New Package CapEx Costs has been renamed CP Planning Package View.
  2. Asset CapEx Costs has been renamed CP Planning Asset View.
  3. Both outputs now include:
    • The selected and the next Control Period's data.
    • A breakdown of costs by year for the selected and next control period.
    • The Whole values for SEU CAV, SEU DAV and AFC for the Package/Intervention, regardless of the Control Period those values are triggered.
  4. The search box on the Workbank pages (Calendars, Table outputs, etc.) now requires pressing 'Enter' to search. Previously typing in this field would automatically update the page, which could lead to unwanted page updates if the search term was incorrectly formed.

Generic Non-Area Interventions

Generic (Non-Area) Interventions are interventions that do not yet have an assigned asset area. These can be created where work is set to be completed on a route, but no assigned asset area is set for the work.

Project Delivered Activity Volume (DAV) Override

The KVL on an intervention can now be overridden and in turn, this now updates the DAV whilst keeping the asset work type unchanged.

Change Requests

We've continued to add improvements to our recently released Change Requests feature, which allows users of all permission levels to suggest changes to the workbank or to delivery, for the routes default approver to approve or reject.

A new central application for administrators to manage user accounts across the full suite of Rail BI applications
