OSM Web 11​.2 release notes

What's new in AVEVA™ Operational Safety Management 11.2 web application.

New Features

AVEVA™ Identity Manager for authentication

We have introduced AVEVA™ Identity Manager for client authentication. In response to cybersecurity issues in today's networked world, it was necessary to integrate an identity manager. Sign in through AVEVA Identity Manager requires a user to enter Windows credentials or an OSM user name.

Identity Manager is only for web application authentication. See Sign in to Operational Safety Management.

Printing Isolation schematics

It is now possible to print all schematics for an Isolation list at one time, instead of printing the schematics individually. This feature is determined by a dynamic functionality.

Work Permit module

Work Permit Monitoring tab

The criteria for which work permits display in the Monitoring tab for current shift has changed. Previously, work permits that were scheduled with a valid date for current shift would display in the Monitoring tab. In version 11.2, this has changed so that work permit status must also match one of the configured statuses.

All Modules

When printing a work item, you are given the option to select which attachments to print, instead of printing all attachments. See Print work permits.
