Jeff, can you insert all the discussion we had on this topic so it is clear where we are? I recall you spelling out a few options.

RRI Discussion:

Implementing this change will affect queries.

Basically I think we want mandate to apply to legs, rather than the whole patrol.

hmm. I can't find discussion on this in my email either. Can we discuss what the options might be. The issue is that a team migth be out on a patrol with an anti-poaching mandate for a few days, then set up a roadblock for a day (different mandate) then go back to regular patrolling. RIght now those have to be entered as different patrols.

This seems straightforward, but the complexity comes with needing to support all queries/reports made with the old concept of mandate. I just want to be clear that we may not be able to make ALL queries and reports backwards compatible - users may have to do some work here when upgrading.

Completed for both desktop and connect environments.

We also support backward compatibility for patrol xml files, so you can import patrol xml files export from 5.0 and previous into 6.0. For older versions the mandate assigned to the patrol is automatically assigned to all legs on import. SMART 6 patrol xml exports will only be importable into other SMART 6 instances.

changes available in 6.0.a4
