NEW UI PREP


This release incorporates all of the necessary subsystems and components for the first release of the new DigTix UI. Over a dozen new UI pages and components will be included in the next DigTix release (v34) which is scheduled for release in December 2021. Some of these pages were showcased at the October DigTix User Conference and the Common Ground Alliance conference in Orlando, FL.


More information will be provided regarding the initial release of the New UI in the coming weeks. Below is a sneak peak of a couple of the new UI pages to be included in DigTix v34.

DIGSIGHTS OPEN BETA


The DigSights closed beta is now open to all DigTix customers - absolutely FREE.


DigSights is an artificial intelligence system which quantifies the risk of any excavation so that organizations may optimally prioritize and assign their resources. DigSights integrates directly into DigTix to provide the highest performing incident prediction model in the industry.


Excavations which are identified with a high likelihood / consequence for an incident can be automatically (or manually) flagged for extra attention via DigTix's follow up system allowing efficient intervention before an incident occurs.

DigSights has allowed our closed beta participants to:


1. Predict 54.3% of incidents within the top 14.5% of locates with highest incident prediction score.

2. Realize their lowest incident rate ever.


If you are interested in joining the DigSights Open Beta, please reach out and let us know!

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS


The data layer of the DigTix API has been completely overhauled to provide much more efficient methods for querying and updating data. This will result in significantly faster response times when interacting with data - including locate requests which have been completed.


Additionally, a new, highly flexible API data query system has been introduced. This will allow faster development and delivery of DigTix features moving forward.



NEW BI SUITE DATA SETS


Four new BI Suite data sets have been added for your visualization, analysis, and forecasting needs:


  1. qs_Contract_Locator_Contacts: Contains all third party locators (aka "Contract Locators") who have applied a close code to a locate request through the DigTix Positive Response System ("PRS").
  2. qs_Contract_Locate_Close_Code_Events: Contains an event log of all close codes applied to locate requests by Contract Locators through the DigTix PRS.
  3. qs_Close_Codes: Contains all close codes configured within DigTix.
  4. qs_CDCs: Contains all CDCs configured within DigTix.


These data sets can be used to analyze the productivity of your internal and third party contract locators and produce forecasting through machine learning models within the DigTix BI Suite.
