Capabilities Incorporated into DSPMT 2.x
bulletVersion 2.0.1, Dated 3 February, 2002: Incorporates a capability for generating a centralized networked configuration of the DSPMT with a single version of the local dam inventory and multiple client workstations.  An error where the program crashed if the comment button is pressed was corrected.  The screen numbers for all of the DSPMT screens were re-numbered.
bullet Version 2.0.3, Dated 26 February, 2002: Incorporates printable reports for all of the Intermediate User Performance Measures.
bulletVersion 2.0.4,5, Dated 20 March, 2002: Incorporates printable reports for all of the Expert User Performance Measures, and incorporates Notepad-based printable reports for both the Intermediate User and Expert User for all performance measures if an error occurs while generating the primary type of internal printable report.
bulletVersion 2.0.6, Dated 23 March, 2002: Incorporates Notepad-based printable reports for the Manual Count user (State Evaluation Criteria Report), and Notepad-based printable reports for Search Results in both the DSPPM and the NID Electronic Submittal Workflow.
bulletVersion 2.0.7, Dated 28 March, 2002: Incorporated capability to generate a printed report from any of the Intermediate or Expert User DSPPM input forms.
bulletVersion 2.0.8, Dated 29 March, 2002: Incorporated an initial cut at an Executive Review interface for NID Electronic Submittal data.
bulletVersion 2.0.9, Dated 4 April, 2002: Incorporates the additional items of interest identified by the USACE Peer Review Team, specifically information regarding the last seismic evaluation, hydraulic evaluation, fracture critical members evaluation, and the most recent update data of the EAP.  This version also incorporates a custom report/text file export capability of selected NID or DSPPM fields.
bulletVersion 2.0.10, Dated 8 April, 2002: Incorporates a capability for storing, recalling, and reviewing Dam Incident Notification reports on the User's computer prior to autopopulating the NPDP web-based notification form and  submitting the information to the NPDP.
bulletVersion 2.0.11, Dated 9 April, 2002: Incorporates suggestions for improving the interface to the Dam Incident Notification reports.  Also, adds a capability for mass importing data from a prior database version when the database structure changes.
bulletVersion 2.0.12, Dated 11 April, 2002: Incorporates a capability to reset the DSPPM completion status for either all dams or for those dams in which the lastest data freshness date is prior to a specified date.
bulletVersion 2.0.14, Dated 16 April, 2002: Allows multiple fields in the custom output report to be selected using the <shift> and <cntrl> keys, changes the interface for resetting DSPPM status, and allows the search results to be correctly sorted by last inspection date.
bulletVersion 2.0.15, Dated 18 April, 2002: In the Expert and Intermediate DSPPM spreadsheet, there are new options for either globally populating an entire selected DSPPM field or globally populating only blank values for a selected DSPPM field.

bulletVersion 2.102, Dated 4 February, 2004: The program was performing the Live Update unsuccessfully on Windows Me while it was successful on Windows XP and 2000 Professional.  Also, the Live update executable download ran into memory limitations under WinMe.  This was corrected by changing the method used for downloading the new DSPMT executable.
bulletVersion 2.103, Dated 11 February, 2004: The DSPPM Input Status display was modified to show the input status for only those dams that meet specified search criteria.   Also, the sequence of interfaces for the expert and intermediate user was reviewed and improved.
bulletVersion 2.104, Dated 27 February, 2004: The DSPPM 2 Dam Safety Staff Size and Relevant Experience performance measure was significantly modified so that it could be used by both District and Division organizations.  When District data is imported by Division, separate records of DSPPM 2 are maintained.  The Division organization can also create a new database record for dam safety staff in the division.  When Division data is uploaded to the TEC central server, only the Division staffing data is sent.  The imported district staffing data is not sent and the dam inventories from the imported district data is not sent.  There are also new toggle buttons on the DSPPM 2 interface which allow a Division user to show staffing and staffing details for the Division only, for the Division and reporting Districts only, or for a selected District only.
bulletVersion 2.105, Dated 29 February, 2004: The staffing details spreadsheet export to Excel capability was modified so that only the organizations selected to be displayed in the spreadsheet will be exported to Excel.  The additional DSPPM 3 (Inspections & Evaluations) questions regarding non-Fracture Critical Hydraulic Steel Structures suggested by CESWL were incorporated into the main performance measure spreadsheet.  A clear criteria button was added to the performance measure search criteria form.  Additional confirmation forms were added to the Live Update capability if a new database structure is being downloaded.  The user is now given the option of sending the current database contents to the TEC central server prior to downloading a new database structure.
bulletVersion 2.108, Dated 7 March, 2004: The FERC Inspection Report cover page has been modified to more closely match the D2SI Inspection report standard format.  Performance measure tabular output can now be generated only for those dams which meet a specified search criteria rather than for the entire database.  Modifications were made to correct auto-loading of the database contents when a new database structure is downloaded via the Live Update capability.  Excel output sort order now matches the DSPMT spreadsheet sort order for the performance measure spreadsheet, staffing spreadsheet, and deficiency spreadsheet.  Organization name is forced to be all caps.  Blank fields in the staffing table (DSPPM 2) no longer cause program aborts, they are automatically changed to zero values.  The deficiencies spreadsheet has been re-ordered and two new fields have been added, a MSC funding priority and a HQ funding priority.  The deficiencies spreadsheet can now be sorted based upon any number of selected fields (i.e. Organization, Funding Priority, Dam Name, Deficiency number, etc.)
bulletVersion 2.109, Dated 10 March, 2004: This version corrects problems in ordering the deficiencies spreadsheet by funding priority.  It also allows communication of funding priority from districts to division to HQ, and from HQ to Division, and from Division to Districts.
bulletVersion 2.110, Date 14 March, 2004: This version is the final version to be released in preparation for USACE districts to begin populating the deficiencies spreadsheet for the FY06 budget.  This version adds a new field to the deficiencies spreadsheet and allows a district to specify a budget request value and a total estimated cost of remediation value.  The DSPPM4 forms-based interface has been significantly modified so that it is driven from the deficiencies spreadsheet.  There have been significant modifications to the DSPPM2 performance measure tabular output to be show staffing summaries which correspond to search query criteria.  The FERC inspection checklist excel export has been modified to center justify the Section O and P headings.  Numerous small changes have been made in response to CESWD observations and problem notifications.
bulletVersion 2.111, Date 22 March, 2004: This version corrects a problem with the performance measures spreadsheet generating an error message whenever a cell value is changed.
bulletVersion 2.112-2.119: These versions correct a variety of programming difficulties and suggested improvements by USACE districts which were noted in the process of populating the staffing spreadsheet, performance measures spreadsheet, and deficiencies spreadsheet.
bulletVersion 2.120: Date 14 April, 2004: This version corrects a problem noted by CESWL where the deficiencies spreadsheet for a particular selected dam, exported to an Excel spreadsheet, shows multiple duplicate deficiencies when the internally displayed spreadsheet only shows a single deficiency.
bulletVersion 2.121 Date 24 April, 2004: This version corrects problems noted by CENAP, CESWD, and CESPA.  The biggest modification is that it provides help descriptions for the staffing spreadsheet fields by displaying descriptive text regarding each field in the spreadsheet when the user clicks on a cell and then presses the F1 key.
bulletVersion 2.122, Date 2 May, 2004: This version corrects a problem with the staffing spreadsheet having duplicate data records after multiple imports of a user's organization.  It also changes the Organizational Download interface to allow a user's own organization's data to be deleted upon being warned by a confirmation form.  This was a contributing factor to the duplicate records in the staffing spreadsheet.
bulletVersion 2.123, Date 3 May, 2004: This version prevents data (either dam information or staffing information) imported from another organization to be uploaded to the TEC central server when an organization uploads it's data.
bulletVersion 2.125, Date 9 May, 2004: This version corrects many small errors and implements improvements in the headings and labels on the performance measure interface forms.  This version also automatically calculates staffing totals from the staffing spreadsheet for USACE districts and divisions only.  This version also implements a vertically-expanded column heading so that the column headings can be more descriptive and also grouped more closely.
bulletVersion 2.126, Date 18 May, 2004: This version corrects a problem where the staffing spreadsheet was not being exported to Excel correctly.  The sort order would be correct in the on-screen DSPMT spreadsheet but be incorrect in the Excel spreasdsheet.
bulletVersion 2.127, 2.128, Date 19,20 May, 2004: These versions both incorporate continued corrections involving not exporting a sorted spreadsheet to Excel correctly.  The problem only seems to affect Windows 2000 Professional.  It is corrected in Version 2.128.
bulletVersion 2.129, Dated 25 May, 2004:  This version corrects a problem with the Spanish version of the DSPMT which utilized a file in c:\Program Files\DSPMT rather than c:\Archivos de Programa\DSPMT.
bulletVersion 2.130, Dated 26 May, 2004: This version corrects problems with uploading submittal data to the TEC central server and also provides additional feedback when generating a submittal file.
bulletVersion 2.131, Dated 27 May,2004: The DSPMT uses a file, c:\dspmt.env, to store the location of the database in order to provide a capability for network configurations.  The c: root directory is also used for uploading and downloading NID/DSPPM submittals to/from the TEC central server.  Due to information mgt. restrictions, some organizations are not allowing program access to the c: root directory.  This version of the DSPMT allows a user to designate an alternate directory (i.e. c:\Temp or c:\DSPMTFiles, etc.) as the directory to use for these purposes.
bulletVersion 2.132, Dated 1 June, 2004: This version corrects a problem where the District budgeting priority is being stored in the x.xxx format rather than in x.x format (i.e. 3.100 rather than 3.1).
bulletVersion 2.134, Dated 7 June, 2004: This version provides an improved sorting for identified dam safety deficiencies.  When sorted by District, Division, or HQ priority the deficiencies with priority values are ranked at the top of the list and those without values sort to the bottom.
bulletVersion 2.135, Dated 8 June, 2004: This version corrects problems with sorting order of the Excel spreadsheet generated from the Deficiencies spreadsheet interface.
bulletVersion 2.136, Dated 14 June, 2004: This version restricts the capability to download electronic submittal data files.  States are only allowed to download their own State data.  USACE Districts can only download their own  District and their Division's data file.  USACE Divisions can only download their own Division and their reporting District's data files.
bulletVersion 2.137, 2.138, Dated 18 June, 2004: This version implements an auto-numbering capability for MSC Funding Priority on the deficiencies spreadsheet.  It also incorporates a new button which performs a resort of the deficiency records based upon the last defined simple or advanced sort.
bulletVersion 2.139, Dated 19 June, 2004: This version implements the auto-numbering capability that fills in numbering gaps for Hq Funding Priority on the deficiencies spreadsheet.  It also corrects problems with auto-numbering due to unusually formatted MSC priority values.  A  new capability was also implemented that automatically will renumber MSC and Hq funding priorities based upon the current values filling in any holes in the numbering sequence.
bulletVersion 2.140, Dated 20 June, 2004: This version implements a capability to only display deficiencies within the top 'X' priority for each funding year, where 'X' is a value specified by the user.
bulletVersion 2.141, Dated 22 June, 2004:  This version implements an auto-numbering capability for the Hq and MSC funding priorities that generates an all new sequence of numbers based upon funding year guidance provided by the user.
bulletVersion 2.142, Dated 5 July, 2004: This version implements the modified NDSRB State Evaluation Criteria Report questions into the Manual Count User Interfaces and reports, Executive Review Interfaces and reports, and timelines.
bulletVersion 2.143, Dated 7 July, 2004: This version makes a slight correction to the NID criteria for inclusion, the NID Inclusion Rules.  A low hazard potential dam will be included if either of the following criteria is met:
