The set of rules supported by IntelliPERMIT continues to grow. 

 

Rule #33 states that a permit acceptor may not suspend more than one permit at a time.  This rule is useful in scenarios where isolations are being removed for testing or commissioning of equipment that has been worked on.  The rule should be enabled in order to control this process and ensure that the responsible person deals only with a single commissioning activity at a time.  

 

Rule #34 is designed to limit access to particular operations to the person who initiated/applied for the permit. For instance, this is a useful control to ensure that only the original applicant can edit a permit (even prior to it being issued.) 

 

Both of these rules will be published for general release with version 5.  (Hotfixes for version 4.3 SP4 are available on demand)

 

A more general enhancement also included in version 5 is the opening up of the permit editing process to allow for additional rules to be added without making changes to the core software.
