Announcements

Improved Easier to use on phones and tablets Public Site

On a phone or tablet the menu button now opens every menu with a tap, and the header fits on one row. Dredging Jobs shows each job as a card, a page at a time, and the map opens with its layer panel closed.

Improved Minimum fleet on the USACE Dredge Schedule Public Site

The USACE Dredge Schedule now opens on the minimum fleet and lists every minimum fleet dredge, including those with no upcoming work. Choose All dredges to see the rest.

Improved Procurement dates on the Gantt report Public Site

The Gantt report on the Five Year Dredging Schedule now marks each job's advertise, bid opening and award dates, and includes jobs that are procured in the fiscal year and dredged in another. A bar that runs past the fiscal year ends in an arrow with the actual date.

Improved Smaller PDF downloads from the schedule reports Public Site

PDFs exported from the ICHDMG and USACE Dredge Schedule reports are 80% smaller.

Improved Faster map loading Public Site

Maps load faster on slower connections.

Improved More detail on the Solicitations report Public Site

The Upcoming and Open Solicitations reports now show when dredging is expected to start and finish, work classes, plant types and the estimated dredging quantity, as the Five Year Dredging Schedule does.

Improved Pages load faster Public Site

A round of performance work across the public site: pages are now compressed before they are sent, images load as you reach them instead of all at once, map data is sent more compactly, and assets are cached for longer on repeat visits.

Improved Display preferences follow your account Public Site

User preferences such as theme and dismissed notices are saved to your profile, so they survive signing out and follow you to another computer.

Improved Faster content pages Public Site

The site's content pages — About, Requirements, Education, Reports and Tools — are now built into the site itself instead of being assembled from the content system on every visit, leading to performance improvements.

Improved Security updates Public Site

Routine security hardening across the site, including updated third-party components and tighter checks on where the site will load images and other content from.

Improved Error pages Public Site

Errors now show the site's own error page instead of a plain browser one.

Improved Faster pages while certificates are generated Public Site

Certificate PDFs are produced in the background, so they no longer slow down the rest of the site.

Improved Keyboard navigation Public Site

The main menu and its submenus work properly with a keyboard and with screen readers.

Improved Accessibility improvements Public Site

Search suggestions and card links now work correctly with screen readers.
