PMS 5.0 Release Notes

Released 04/02/2021

Key changes:

  • Works are now referred to as Projects and include both paving and non-paving projects

  • Projects and Programmes and LA Programmes are both now managed through the new UI

  • You now need to login when accessing the new UI. You can log in with your existing PMS username and password. If you do not have a user account please contact the RMO

  • 75,000 Works have been migrated to the new Projects schema.

Both user interfaces use the same database and web services, although there are two sets of mapping services. The new WFS/WMS services can be accessed via URLs such as those below, replacing the LA name as necessary.
