Improvement how excursions from loggers are handled in situation where a shipment is manually delivered to a time prior to an excursion event.

3rd party device support
Description: Dual Boundaries is an add-on feature that allows customers to define temperature warnings for shipments based on a temperature range instead of the traditional single boundaries (upper or lower), as illustrated below.
...
Dual Boundaries follow the same principles as other boundaries when generating warnings. They can be added to shipment and warning templates in a similar manner, as illustrated in the design mock below.
...
Dual boundaries will appear in the SCM UI as shown below.
...
Note that the feature becomes available once Controlant has enabled it for that account.
Impact:
Once the SCM release goes live, the change won’t impact the user/customer until the feature is enabled.
If the feature is enabled, the impact is mainly applicable to the Create Shipment actions.
This will impact users responsible for maintenance and update.
hipment and warning templates.
The procedure should remain the same for users creating shipments via templates and handling loggers at the receiving end.
Shipment reports and email/SMS alerts need minor updates to conform with the new boundaries. These are listed below in a separate section.

Minor Changes
A summary of other minor changes:
Changes to alert email
We made minor adjustments to the email sent after a logger triggers an alert. See a snapshot of a sample email below:
...
The Controlant MARS team usually handles these alerts directly from the loggers, so the user impact should be minimal.
The main changes include:
Updated email alert text and structure.
Links to the web interface (login required) and the share shipment view (no login required).
Impacted requirements:
We added the following new requirements for this release:

Requirement Description

SCMRS-548
...
Controlant is taking the first step to support data from 3rd party devices. At first the support will be limited to a single device and is running on a pilot stage, meaning we are not making it ready for general purpose.
Bulk of the changes will be outside the SCM solution but a couple of changes needed to be made for the SCM solution to ensure expected functionality.
New requirements:
SCMRS-551: SCM will not allow users to create new shipments with 3rd party devices.
SCMRS-552: SCM will not allow users to duplicate shipments with 3rd party devices.
SCMRS-553: SCM will not allow users to add 3rd party dedvices to existing draft shipments.
SCMRS-554: The system will consider it to be a missing data point if the time period between two measurements is more than the sampling rate plus 30 seconds.
Impact:
SCM will accept and be able to handle data from 3rd party devices. For most users the impact on users is non existing as this will only be accepted in limited capacity.
...
Excursion handling
We made minor updates with regards to have logger excursion events are displayed if a shipment is manually delivered to a time prior to the excursion taking plavce.
