Issues Addressed
Service Pack 2 for WISE 2.0.8 addresses issues in the following areas:

General

• 3526 - The Edit Attribute tool now works with date fields.
• 3479 – The Delete tool was often disabled after using the Edit Attribute tool.  This has been fixed.

Scoping

• 2579 – A reach ranking error that occurred on every 4th consecutive spreadsheet viewer column addition has been fixed.
• 3379 – Table 3B in the Reach Report has been edited to display in landscape format.  This was done to prevent cutting off of large datasets.
• 3371 - Error handling has been added to handle null length records in the Community Priorities form.
• 3355 – Errors encountered when the Reach Report was run on studies that included Coastal reaches have been fixed.
• 3353 - Object disconnect errors resulting from the download of large created shapefiles to satellite projects have been fixed.
• 3334 – A mandatory group by option has been added to the Reach Ranking form to assist with budget calculation.

Hydrology

• 2742 – Basin file paths for Basin Delineation and Basin Development Criteria are now defaulted to the file paths defined in Project Options. Pre-existing projects are not affected.
• 2899 – The ability to overwrite an existing file has been added to the Basin Development criteria.  This applies to selecting a file for ’New Streamline’ and ‘New Breakline’.
• 2912 – If the 'Basin Delineation' tool was run twice in succession with 'Create breakpoints at all intersections with line shapefile' selected the first time, but not the second time, breakpoints were created at the intersections by both executions of the tool.  This has been fixed.
• 2941 – Data validation has been added for open channel N-Values on the TC Development Criteria form. 
• 2945 – Validation has been added to the Time of Concentration Criteria form to make sure that CN values are imported if the SCS Simple Method is chosen.   If CN values are imported but the required CN values are missing, the user will be prompted that the program is unable to locate curve number. 
• 2986 – Deletion of breakpoints, TCs, RTCs, or RTC Cross Sections has been fixed to clear out selected shapes on delete.
• 3493 – A basin shape factor calculation has been added to expedite calculating the discharges for the Region VI counties. 
• 3493 – Weighting equations are now applied to Texas rural regions 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10.
• 3493 – Arkansas regression equations are calculated in metric units.  To accommodate this, Arkansas equation parameters are converted to metric from English and the CMS output is converted to CFS.

Hydraulics

• 3546 – The cross section shapefile discharge attribute has been updated to increase the maximum length.  This was done to prevent incorrect rounding of CFS values when attaching HEC RAS output to XS shapefiles.
• 3402 – Blocked obstructions and ineffective areas in the HydraMAX data viewer now perform the same way as the graphical view.
• 3483 – Errors found when exporting project data in RAS have been fixed. 
• 3444 – When creating an approximate model in HydraMAX, the stations for the downstream ineffective areas were the same as those for the upstream side.  This has been corrected.  The program now uses the calculated distance from the downstream face of the structure to the downstream section to find the correct offset from the beginning and the end of the opening of the structure.
• 3560 - The option to map the raster without the vector floodplain has been turned on.
• 3525 – A new feature has been added to adjust all the stationing and final centerlines for all cross sections and structures in a HydraMAX model.
• 3476 - A new feature has been added to adjust all the final centerlines in a HydraMAX model, including moving the topo data, field data, nvalues, etc.
• 3401 – The ability to right-click on selected points and inactiveate or activate them has been added to HydraMAX.
• 3400 – A new form has been added to globally adjust n-values.
• 3399 – The ability to copy and paste point data has been added.
• 3365 – An export WISE Hydraulic feature to DFIRM Lite has been added to save WISE cross sections, streams, and mapping to a format that would be compatible with Appendix L of FEMA’s guides and specs.

Open Inventory

• 3521 - Problems the page numbering for the Approximate Culvert report has been fixed.

Closed Inventory

• 2916 - The Create Full Shapefiles tool in Inventory Manager has been fixed.
• 2217 – Approximate structures can no longer be created in absence of a stream layer.  Pre-existing approximate structures are not affected.
• 2220 – Risers within a dam that contained no orifices previously failed to retrieve the values within the Outlet Pipe section.  The result was a text property read-only error. This issue has been fixed.
• 2959 – Users of the Node form now have the ability to manually overwrite GPS X, Y, Z data.
• 2672 – A GPS disconnect message has been added to acknowledge when WISE has disconnected from a GPS unit.
