Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure
Release Notes
09 July 2013

Overview
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Operations Systems Center (OSC) released version 2.0 of the Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure (eNOAD) Web
Application on 10 January 2011. The majority of the application’s graphical layout remains the same; however, the overall look of the interface has under‐gone
major changes, and some useful new features have been added as well. A detailed listing and description of these changes, including images, comparing the
current and new versions of the application follows. Please note: since the screens shown within this document were taken from our testing systems, using
several different test vessel records, the data displayed herein may differ from image to image.

Changes to the eNOAD application will be added to this document with corresponding build numbers. This will be a “living” artifact, outlining eNOAD’s
evolution.
Release notes begin on page eleven (11); appearing in descending order, newest to oldest.

Notice Menu and Entry Pages
Changes have been made, beyond the visual appearance of the screens themselves, to the Notice Menu and subsequent screens. Reporting Party, Crew,
Cargo, etc are now referred to as Entry Pages. Items of interest regarding the Notice Menu and Entry Pages are as follows:

1. The initial Voyage Type page that was shown when adding a notice has been removed.
2. The Notice Menu is now displayed on the left side of each of the Entry Pages. The Notice Menu can be seen at all times and will update required icons
( for missing information, for completed) for the Entry Pages instantly when information is saved.
3. The ISSC Page has been renamed to Security and some fields have been moved to provide a more consistent layout of the application.
4. Entry Pages can be visited in any order, not just in the order in which they are listed in the Notice Menu (ex: Crew can be entered before Vessel
Details)
5. When using grids throughout the application, users can now double‐click an entry to edit it, sort each column by clicking the column name, filter each
column by entering text in the provided text areas then pressing Enter, and have the ability to change how many records are shown on each page. A
feature has also been added to give the users the ability to select multiple entries (using a checkbox) and deleting the entries all at once.
6. Each Entry Page now contains buttons to save the notice, clear the form, or cancel any editing that took place since the last time the record was
saved.

*NEW* XML and XLS Import
Import functionality is now available in the eNOAD 2.0 Web Application. Users can import a current NOAD Schema XML file and the latest Official NVMC
Workbook (XLS) into the application, also giving the ability to edit the data and submit the notice. The application will validate the selected file, outputting
errors and warnings to the user. The file can then be imported, if the file passes eNOAD schema validation.

Shown below are images of the new (Figure 31 and Figure 32) eNOAD Import screen.

eNOAD Build 18
Roll Date: 03 April 2012

• Moved downtime banner location from the top banner to the login page. This was done to
avoid the message from being cut off on smaller screen resolutions.

• When using the ‘Copy’ function, Cargo was not being copied, but the page was being marked
as complete. This has been addressed by now marking the page as incomplete (required
icon).

• A bug was found for Crew and Passengers where the user could save a record with ID

that the dates were not valid. This has been fixed.

buttons for Add Notice and User Guide.

required icons not updating for certain javascript-driven controls. This has been fixed.

records on one page.

Roll date: 27 March 2012

Name, and Middle Name in order to match the order in the grid.

• A bug has been found where the Crew and Non-Crew Embark and Debark Ports are not being
populated on initial load when the Country is United States. This has been fixed.

• A bug has been found where Last Port in the Arrival Page is not being populated on initial load
when the country is United States. This has been fixed.

• A bug has been found when importing a file with the Next Port section, resulting in a write
error. This has been fixed.

• Developed JavaScript code to handle updating of some required icons in Edit Crew, Edit Non-
Crew, Previous Ports, and Security resulting in faster updating of icons and eliminating 8 post
backs to the server.

• “Valid” checkboxes do not correctly show if the box is valid for Crew and Passenger. The
discrepancies have been found with ID Issue Country; however, it would be possible to happen
with any Country drop down list. This has been fixed in the database function and rolled to
Production on 16 March 2012
