Utility Notes found on the downloadable PDF Positive Response page currently display the definition of the response code. The update will correct the discrepancy and the Utility Notes will display notes entered from facility owners/locators when responding to a ticket.

Definitions for Positive Response codes will be displayed at the bottom of the downloadable PDF Positive Response page

                                                                    

Push pins may be set on the map as placeholders. Pins are for the excavator’s use only and are not transmitted with the ticket; facility owner/operators or their locators do not see the pins placed on the map. The user may perform multiple searches without losing previous search data by setting pins to mark reference points. This feature is useful for job sites with multiple dig locations, such as transmission poles, signs, or soil borings, or for marking beginning and ending points along a route.

The circle tool measures diameter, but the measurement box currently displays the unit of measurement as “Undefined.” The update will display "Diameter" in the measurement box that appears while drawing a circle.

Ticket Features

When a user closes the ticket entry page before submitting, the option to save a draft of the ticket will be displayed. The draft must be used or discarded the next time the user creates a new ticket. The draft is not saved when the user performs a copy, continue or any action based on a previous ticket. Drafts are for personal use only. The original user is the only one who has access to the draft. A MISS DIG 811 NSR cannot open a ticket an excavator started.

Currently, a draft may be accessed from the “New Ticket” button on the upper-right corner of the OCA homepage or on the ticket details page. The “New Ticket” button on the left pane of the OCA homepage does not currently provide access to the saved draft.
