•At the start of 2017, Cocon 11 become the leading product and most of our customers have moved since. The new developments and improvements made in the past year have only been implemented in Cocon 11.
| Because of all the changes made, Cocon 10 is now outdated in both technique and functionality. Cocon 11 has, after some fine tuning, proven to be a worthy successor. |
| Starting from januari 2018, we will no longer support Cocon 10. This means that no more modifications will be done, and bugs will nog longer be fixed. Normally we would like to thanks Cocon 10 for its services, but as it is software and it would be a bit silly, we won't. |
| So instead we would like to thank all our customers and users for their engagement and feedback in the development of Cocon 10 and Cocon 11. |

•There are a view changes made regarding the selection tool in Cocon. When you click in the map a circle will appear around that point.
The circle will appoint an area whereby all of the objects within the circle are given in the results. If you click in an area where there are no objects, the circle will increase until the nearest object is reached within the circle.
The closer to the ground the function is used, the more secure the function will work.For example, if you click on a cable, Cocon will show the objects within the circle, and not the objects which are lying nearby.
This results in in the fact that the outcome will be shown within 2 seconds, regardless the speed of your network.
April 2016 11.0.36.1
•In the screen where you can you can define or check the relations between cables and ducts it is possible to relate a cable to all subducts which are connected by duct splices.
| Cocon will first ask if this action is intended. All other links to the same cable will be removed. Also in this screen it is possible to show all relations from a specific cable. |
•In the report on duct connection a new column with 'subduct' is added.
•There is a new check added to the 'determine duct route' function which will check whether there are relations with the ducts incorrect.
| The user is then asked whether it should be removed. |
•From now on it is possible to make future cut in an excisting accesspoint. For this the status in the cut-screen should be set to the status 'reserved'

•Addresses will be visible at the Excel exports of the geographical connections (If applicable).
March 2016 10.7.1
•From now on, there will be a progress bar visible at the report of cable usage screen.The progress bar will only be visible when there are twenty or more fibers in a cable and the option to show future endpoints is activated
•The direction of a cable is now also indicated in parentheses on splice schemes. This direction will only be displayed if the cable name is presented on the splice scheme.
•When external cables are set invisible, they will no longer be displayed in the object list when accidentally clicked on the route of an external cable. The selection tool which is based on a selected square, continues to work in the old way.
•During the import of a Microstation CAD drawing (DGN format) it is now possible to indicate that the names of the layers should be visible in the drawing and need to be imported. Previously it was only possible to select layer numbers.
•The BGT data layer and the digital 'kadaster map' layer are both introduced into the map of Cocon. It is possible to open these layers the same way as opening the BAG layer. (Only available in dutch environments)
•Using the selection tool while the BAG layer is also open, addresses will be shown as last. Before this change, addresses where displayed as first. (Only available in dutch environments)
•Also non visible cables, abandoned cables, ducts and drillings will no longer be displayed in the object list. However it is possible to find these objects by searching on name or spanid.
| Show objects in the map of Cocon from the object list is possible. |

•It is now possible to indicate that an accesspoint is 'out of order. In that case the accesspoint will be invisible. The rest of the data remain unchanged. It has the same method as routes.
(when this function is not active in your environment please contact the servicedesk).
•From now on, the history of changes in enclosure-data will be tracked. In the screen 'enter / change point object' it is possible to view the history of the enclosure when this type of object is selected.
•When copying a section name at the 'maintain terminated fibers' screen, the subsection will also be taken during the action.
•When a connection is set to status 6 (spare fiber), it will be covered in this status for the whole connection, and not only at the end points.
•The smiley button in the insert splices screen has a new position. Some users accidentally clicked on this button.
October 2015 10.6.1
•In the screens 'Insert building' and 'insert point object (accessoint)' it is possible to specify who and when last visited, or is going to visit the building or accesspoint.
•There is a new button 
added in the 'insert splices' screen. If there should be future splices, and these are selected, this button can save work and time. Cocon will split the existing series, the series which have to be removed will be served for removal , the remaining spare - fibers will be reserved in the right cassette and determine the correct cassette for the new splice. The new splice will also be made.
All these activities are registered for the selected project and the related default executive contractor.
•When In the screen 'failure examinaton' is chosen to define a Spof there, will be a cross displayed in the geography when a Spof is found and also on all the places where it is possible to place a Spof.
Thereby, a polygon will shown around the Spof. With placing that polygon it is clearer to see where two cables / section names are closer together than the specified distance.
•From the user- & group authorization screen you can select the 'treeview' button 
to make an export. From now on this export will be displayed with colors to indicate which authorizations are assigned.
Green = function available for user or group, red= function is not available.
September 2015 10.6.1
•When removing a reserved splice, the details from WorkOnField are also stored in the historic overview. This ensures that for example the process comments of splicers are always available.
•A textbox has been added in the Report on history splices screen. This textbox shows the complete text of the selected cell in the grid. If a text contains multiple carriage returns, as with process comments, this text will be separated by the symbol “ > “.
•Changes have been made to the checks on cable lengths when edited in Edit Span. There are now checks on 3 different scenarios: 1. Is the average length of "cables" more than 10% different from the geographical length? 2. Is there a slack length in the middle of the cable (not at the endpoints) and is it bigger than 4 times the standard slack length? 3. Is there a slack length at the beginning and/or end of the cable and is it bigger than 10 times the standard slack length? If one or more of these checks are positive then Cocon will show a message and will continue to work with the geographical length. The error will be shown before committing the changes to the lengths. It is now also possible to enter a slack length of 0 at the end points of the cable.
•You can now generate a blocked area around selected objects. If one or more objects have been selected in the geography, either by "show in geography" or by selecting objects by hand (these can also be municipal borders, railroads, buildings, etc.), you can then go to the right click menu and choose -> Various -> Generate a route upon the given selection.
•Cocon will remember the last 10 search actions in the 'find geo location' screen.
August 2015 10.6.1
•It turns out that functional errors appear on a regular base in the database. This is because several projects are confirmed in which the data is not accurate or complete yet.
There is now, a mechanism built in, that will check a project at the time of confirmation.
Once an error is discovered, it will be reported in the screen. Via the Explorer button there will be an explanation displayed in a readable format.
If there are no errors, nothing will change. If there are no objects selected for confirmation, after OK only the checks will run.This is intended for users who want to check their work in advance.
In case of questions please contact the Service desk by Speer IT.
•By selecting one or more objects in the geography it is now possible to create a route based on the selected objects. After making a selection give a right mouse click --> various --> generate a route upon the given selection. A new route will be introduced.
•In the option screen of Cocon in the tab 'geography' it is now possible to select to show all cables with various statuses in the color green and all the ducts in the color black.
•It is not possible to add a reserved splice or a splice reserved for removal whenever there is already splice present with an indication that there is no work needed. The splice will be rejected.
•It is possible to manage authorization per button and per user in Cocon. All the buttons from the show, edit, new, various, compare, search, draw and FTTH toolbar can be managed from the user authorization screen.
In this screen you will find a new authorization item called 'map settings'.
July 2015 10.6.1
•Several changes has been made recording to drawing routes in Cocon. These changes will apply when routes overlap each other or when a new route has a similar name as an existing route.
For more information check the maintain route screen.
•When in the 'split line' screen is chosen for fiber status, the deviating fiber status (status other than planned, in use or planned for removal) will be taken over on the new cable parts.
•Cable lengths can now also be entered as 0. Previously this was at least 1.
•SQL queries which are created and emailed via batch commands, can now also be saved as CSV file; the Speer IT service desk can adjust this per query.
•If in the cable work screen is chosen for releasing objects, also the fibers which are involved in the cable work will be disconnected.
During closing a cable work it will also be controlled for existing linked fibers, this should not be present before the cable work may be closed.
•In the report on cable usage overview screen it is possible to view a connection and attenuation with SP. SP stands for service priority.
•While entering routes in Cocon it is now possible to remove overlapping areas from existing routes, overlapping areas removed from newly introduced routes or take no action.
This only applies to the same type of routes.
June 2015 10.6.1
•By the introduction of an Excel button in the 'maintain customers' screen it is possible to generate an overview which will measure the lengths of the complete connections from A to B per customer.
The lowest position from each section name will be picked up and from this point an attenuation overview will be created. The total length will be shown.
Section names that appear more than once are only counted once.
Note: the current and future connections are both included in this overview.
In addition to information as the location name, address data, section name, project number, contract number and the status of connection, the overview will also display the number of splices and patches.
On the basis of these data it is possible to calculate the average fiber length per connection.
The last line shows the total number of connections and the total length of all connections.
May 2015 10.6.1
•If no install company was added during the insert of a project and you will enter this later, all network components will be supplemented by this new install company.
Also, the field of external contacts will be filled with the new domain of this new install company but only when this is added to the base tables.
•It is no longer possible to change the detail status in de base tables. Deleting them was already impossible. It is allowed to add an extra status.
April 2015 10.6.1
•The OpenStreetMap data which serves as background of Cocon is from now on, for all Dutch Cocon environments instead of quarterly, monthly updated.
The postal code, housenumber-data will also be updated every month.
This was previously only known from the land registry, but starting this month as they are known from post addresses.
Apart from the monthly update, the BAG data provides also more options for all Dutch Cocon environments.
You can choose to present the Bag layer based on the number of addresses in a building, the status of the building or the function of the building.
The explanation of the use of new colors will be displayed.
•The loading time of the object list in Cocon is increased when using the selection tool.
•In Cocon you can indicate in the splice scheme that a splice is present. This will mean that a planned splice is not made and a splice, reserved for removal not need to be removed.
Until now, a user could change the indication for a planned splice and leave the splice reserved for removal as they are.
This can lead to a wrong handling in the automatic confirmation in WorkonField.
In the new version, once this indication at a splice (series) is changed, the status of the related splice (series) will be changed automatically.
Also, whenever necessary the related splices will be split up. The confirmation email which will be send after this action, will tell how many related splices are changed or split up.
•In the manage cable screen (edit span SpanID) it is also possible to change the location of a slack.
Cocon will search for locations within 15 meters, up to 4 accespoints and 4 buildings, sorted by distance and then by name.
•A few customers have indicated that the scale indicator in the buttom right of the corner of the print of the map can be confusing.
This is the scale that is valid for the computer screen at the time of making the print.
For this reason, this scale designation is replaced by the 'zoom' of the map at the time of printing.
This value indicates the width (in meters or kilometers) of the map at the time of printing.
This value says a lot more.
March 2015 10.5.2
•In the screen change client it is possible to change the section name. These changes will be implemented on the server, section name, cable occupation and termination positions.
There will be no new section name, the current section name will be overwritten.
February 2015 10.5.2
•In the central drawing layer, text objects are not saved. Nowadays a point with a label will appear. This so that it's possible to move or delete these texts.
•You can set / change the name while entering or changing risk areas. Cocon also remembers the last entered area and the type of blocking.
January 2015 10.5.2
•While entering or changing a duct, the field 'used by' will be rejected when there is a cable attached to the duct. It's impossible to fill the field 'used by' when a duct is attached to a cable.
December 2014 10.5.2
•Creating a cable package is now also possible from the 'maintain terminated fibers' screen.
•Enter detail data in the 'insert / change patch unit' screen is no longer depending on if there are any patches set. These are taken over by the new fibers..
When the inserted series are smaller than the current series, the other patches will be removed.
•When a slack will be moved during editing the geography a pop up will appear with the question if you also want to move the related objects. From now on, also a new location for the slack can be determined, only when the distance is further than 5 meters from the old location.
November 2014 10.5.2
•While entering of change building data it is possible to change the alias if this is used in the working environment.
•While entering a handhole with an enclosure at the same time it is possible to add a status to the objects.
Cocon will recognize when these statuses are different from each other and will ask is this is the intended action.
This also applies when entering a building with a frame or a duct and a cable at the same time.
•The term 'reserved' for status 0 is replaced for 'planned'.
•There is a new screen where it is possible to change an email address or domain for the Cocon environment.
You will find this screen here: File --> authorization --> change email address.
•In the report of rack lay-out screen the status of the termination unit wil be displayed in colors.
October 2014 10.5.2
•In the splices screen you will find a column where the number of top 10 connections are displayed. This number has a relation with the number of connections which are going trough the fiberserie on the same line. This value is supplemented with the number of top 10 connections which is related to the cassette.
•In the screen 'maintain directories attached files' was always shown as a most top only. Others screens were blocked. From now on this is no longer so.
•WGS84 coordinates are on request also visible in the output of the distance calculator. For more information please contact the Servicedesk of Speer IT.
September 2014 10.5.2
•In the screen 'change reservations' it's possible to generate patches automatically. Patches from and to the same cable are excluded during this process.
August 2014 10.5.1
•From now on it's possible to show the tube-numbers on the splice scheme. If you want this information on the splice scheme please send an e-mail to the servicedesk and they will enable this feature.
•There is a new geography button added In the screen managing location translation. With this button it's possible to show a selected 'location_name_nw' directly in the geography of Cocon.
•Also, a new feature in the managing location translation screen is the checkbox. When you set a check mark in the checkbox, only the lines which need to be filled are displayed.
•During the import of an extern cable pack, a file with all the locations will be included in the import. As a result, the location translation table is partially completed, and need to be supplemented only.
(This applies only when the import is based on contract number)
July, 2014 10.5.1
•Opening and closing the map for update (When available) will no longer close the Mapinfo-instance, which will make the process smoother and faster.
•In the 'report on connection', 'report on attenuation' and 'report on cable usage' screens, the owner column will now show the name of the owner of the external cable instead of the terms 'access', 'core' or 'unknown'.
The background of this field will be colored orange as well.
•In the screen 'maintain incidents' it's possible to show the history for a selected incident or all incidents. Thereby it's possible to export these details into Excel.
June, 2014 10.5.1
•In the screen in which accesspoints are managed, it is possible to set a check mark (field: 'jump'). With this, the user can specify that a free transfer from an network location owner to another may be made.
This is used with automatically routing.
May, 2014 10.5.1
•Several screens will load faster.This is especially noticeable in large Cocon environments. If a window was opened, several preferred lists were also filled immediately. Some of these, such as project- or contract number, are quite long and took extra time to build up the screen. These preferred lists will now, only load when a list is selected with the benefit that the main screen will load faster. The consequence is that the preferred list will have a slight wait. This is of course only the first time.
•The locations In the network counting are now also counted per route.
•Windowcut confirmation from the splice screen. If there are splices (planned for lifting) on the side of the windowcut, they will no longer be a hindrance for the confirmation of the windowcut. They are automatically after confirmation message with status planned for lifting linked to the new cable.
•For FTTH operators. If the geography for mutation is opened, the default project number is directly linked to the most common project in that particular visible part of the map. When there is more than one project, the user will get a selection screen.
The project that is first mentioned in that screen, is the most common.
April 2014, 10.4.2
•The position of the button with the eye ( show cables of others ) will be remembered so that the situation by starting up will be the same when closing down the map.
•Divers changes to WorkononField ( confirmation & changing cables and enclosures etc )
•The new Cablepack functionality has been rolled out. Finishing positions will be exported as of now. Previous completions can be overwritten via Zipflies. More information available at the serviced desk.

March 2014, 10.4.2
•If an enclosure is entered in an existing accespoint, the type of accespoint will be taken over to the type of enclosure, if this accespoint exists as type of enclosure. This will also be adapted if an accespoint is entered at the same time as the enclosure and the type of accespoint is adapted.
February 2014, 10.4.2
•If a new route is entered with an existing name, the new entered geographic area will be added to the existing route, after you confirmed the question asked.
•It is possible to cut directly in front of a buried cable with a new handhole and gco. You need to ask our service desk to give you the rights.
•With manage "cable types" it is possible to open the map "linked files" for the shown file. This map will be created if 'not exists.
•It is possible to create an export of all types of cables with their fibers and tubes. You have to use the Excel button. Per cable type a new sheet is used. So this can take a couple of minutes.
•Drillings provided with an owner can be blocked orange in the geography, ask the service desk to help you with this. The status must be in use, no detail status allowed and the drilling can not be marked. This counts for all users in the work environment.
•In the screen "change span " an extra column is added. This will be filled from WorkonField ( not for all customers ) and will indicate if the tape measure can be read outside or not.
•Overview "workonfield orders" gives an overview of processed and to be processed orders ( not for all customers )
•Connected files for enclosures will be put in the same main location as Accespoints. With this difference that the last map will be named "enclosure" instead of accespoint ( only if the enclosure map already exists )
•Via company tables the WorkonField documents can be managed.
•If cables related to the location will be changed in the geography, the relation with the frames of enclosures will be changed along. Of course the user need to confirm this. No splices can be presence in an enclosure or patches on a frame ( if the location changes ) If a frame cable changes, the patchpanels and spliceunits will be taken to the new frame
•With changing of an accespoint name during entering an accespoint or enclosure, the name of the enclosure will be added in a more efficient way. This change counts for entering accespoints and enclosures as well of cutting accespoints and enclosures.
January 2014, version 10.4.2
•In the current cable usage overview, cables finished on a patch panel and cut in the future, were not always shown when the fiber on the other side of the connection was not terminated. This is solved.
•Also, the connection status is emptied in this overview, if the line section is empty and the connection status is equal to "1" ( in use ) The background color of the future line section will be yellow if this will be cancelled in the future.
•As of this version there's a check if the tube relation is ok by confirming the cables. If this is not ok, a note will be made in the handling report. The cable will be confirmed. If the whole cable is located in 1 building no error will be given.
•Registration of incidents is now possible from the geography. Also a number of improvements are made in the handling. A.g. multiple incidents can be shown in the the map. From this version a historical file will be build with all incidents. This will make it more clear who reported the incident or changed the status.
•If a cable or connection status of a planned interruption is involved in an incident with status "<> solved" , the interruption can not be activated! This also counts for interruptions or incidents in the protection path.
•On the geographic submenu ( right mouse button in the map ) " divers" an extra function is added > "open TAB directory ". This function is meant to open directly the map with written imported layers. By selecting this function, a screen is opened with all layers who are imported as an external file.
•By double clicking on a layer - name, the directory tab with files will be opened in explorer. By selecting multiple layers with checkmarks and pushing the "map button ", multiple explorers will be opened.
December, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the screen “ interruption” a new functionality has been added to prepare an Excel export of all connections in the interruption or all to interrupt connections of that day.
November, 2013 version 10.4.2
•The object list in the geography can now be sorted. Double click on the upper line of the required column. Again a double click gives a descending sort.
•The performance of turning off a failure in larger environments has greatly improved.
•As of now, duct splices can be registered in the present and future view. In the present view the routes/tubes will be showed with status ( 1 ) in use and ( 2 ) removal. In the future view ( 1 ) in use and ( 0 ) planned.
•In the duct splice scheme in the geography, the sub duct number behind the tube has been added. Also colors will be used, depending on the status of the relevant objects.
September, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the termination overview, the comments field of the building has been added.
•In divers connection overviews, if one or more lines are selected, just the selected part of the connection will be shown, by using the geo button after the selection.
August, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the screen "Rass splice" the option has been added to show the data of ( 1 ) ODF or potential ( 1 ) a splice unit number. The amount of data decreases on this screen, which makes it more clear. Besides, by entering Rass splices, the lines in the two upper grids ( after entering the splice ) will remain in the same position. This makes it easier to enter multiple Rass splices in sequence.
•The filter "only show - non sliced lines"has been improved.
•By entering twice the same cassette / position, you can choose between splice and no splice.
•As of now, while checking an interruption of a server or protection path, we'll check, in case of a same date, if the time window differs. Is this the case, the interruption is allowed.
•In area's with multiple sets of background dates, the active set will be retained after disconnecting the geography. A.g. Holland and Belgium. This set will be chosen automatically after starting up.
•In the screen "overview tubes" ( where tubes can be entered and changed ) a button has been added which data can be stored without closing the screen. In particular handy by entering new tubes and filling out sub duct systems.
July, 2013 version 10.4.2
•A few changes are made regarding cable lengths and fibers. The slack in both ground and tube will be processed in the cable length instead of just the fiber length. An option is built to fix the twist factor per tube per cable. ( manage cable types ) The twists can significantly differ if "large capacity cables" are built up layered. When setting out errors in external cables, we're taking into account the ration between drawn lengths and given lengths. The accuracy of setting out errors has been improved. For more information check "manage attenuation and length factors.
•Open layers from other settings, right mouse button in the geography; there's an option to choose which layers need to be opened. This option will be remembered for the next time. If, in the option screen, is set "store and re-open imported layers", the selected environments will open automatically.
June, 2013 version 10.4.2
•If desired, the servicedesk can set Cocon twice next to each other in your environment.
•Sometimes it is impossible to pick up un object that "lies underneath " another object. With the right mouse button you can give distance to this object so that the object can be picked up.
•The drawing layer in Cocon, where users can import objects etc, can as of now be copied to another location on the network with a specified name. > select the right mouse button in the map >> tab "divers">> choose "copy drawing layer". Note: this will only functioning if the layer is "not central".
May, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the screen import building / termination unit via the geography you have the possibility to take over the imported termination unit name / type. Therefore you need the “D” button ( D of duplicate ) AT that moment the latest imported values will be loaded.
•As of this version there’s the possibility to automatically weld on both sides by importing a cable. The import screen will appear after drawing a cable. You can place a checkmark on both a and b side of the cable. It’s then determined if there’s a cable with the same name and cable type on the conscious enclosure. In this case, all, not welded fibers will be welded as “no-splice”. If desired, the helpdesk can turn off this functionality.
•If a cable will be imported without an enclosure or frame at the drawn cable at the begin or end point, you can choose to select a type of enclosure and a status. An enclosure will be made at the beginning or end of the cable. If you’re not selecting anything, a slack will be made, as usual. Standardly this functionality is turned off. If desired, the helpdesk can turn on this functionality.
•If a route is imported without an access point or building is found at the beginning or end, you can choose to select a access point type and a status. ( for this change a tube end will be generated with the last used status ) An access point will be made at the beginning or the end. If this is not selected, as usual, a tube end will be made.
•If an access point is moved geographically, the frames in the access points will be changed as well after you choose to change the related buildings. As usual in this functionality, this will only works in the situation that you change 1 access point.
April, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the screen enter / change building, the last entered or changed owner of this building/frame will be remembered and with a new entry standard used.
•The side of a splice cassette can now be filled with a "? ". At that moment all other field will be emptied or provided with a default value. This value refers to the fact that a splice is made, but the details of the splice cassette are unknown.
March, 2013 version 10.4.2

Februari, 2013 version 10.4.2
•In the tool "adjust object location to the drawing trench" you had the possibility to select in the object list, which object to take or not. This was a bit confusing now and than. For this reason, after a line is drawn with a new trench, a big screen will pop up with all possible objects involved. With 1 click on a line you can select or deselect 1 or more objects. Standard everything is selected. By 1 click on the header of the 1st column, all objects can be turned on or off. After "OK" the data will adjusted after which agreement can be given to the changes.
•As of this version Esri-shape files can be read by importing external files.
•As of this version Esri-shape files can be created by the export functions.
•When drawing a new cable, e new route or reading of a cable pack no correct end points are found, the line will be shown in the geography. This line can be used to redrawn a new line over the existing line by using the shift button.
•The setting in terms of zoom levels for support files will now be stored, if the user has set this option. Mind this; if layers are visible for a long time and there's a large size of data, this will have a negative influence on the map performance.
•Several structural problems are solved by deleting reports. By these reports it seemed Cocon was stalled.
•The same counts for progress bars
•A new cable usage overview is implemented in Cocon. The new one gives a far more clearer picture.
•Ten temporary layers will be created, whereby with certainty the most available cable is on top of the map and the less available one on the bottom. By this change, the meaning of the different colors need to be checked in the layer control instead of the agenda. A layer named "U_17_24_free_fibers" shows all cables with available fibers between 17 and 24.
Januari, 2013 version 10.4.2
•As of now, Esri shape files can directly be read into Cocon by the import tool in the geography. .

•By using “escape” in the calendar functions of the interruptions, the calendar view can be closed directly. ( some function as “close calendar “.
•By double clicking in the grid of the first row of the relations ( via overview locations, routes and cable usage ) the selected object in the object list of the map will be shown.
•By use of MapInfo 10.0 and higher in combination with OSM data, all street labels are set automatically so that they shadowing the road contours.
•Authorization on status and detail status can be adapted per user.
•As of now, when closing a project there’s a check if all documents are accepted and closed.
•When importing new cable work you can select the permitted project materials by using a template. Therefore, at least, 1 cable work needs to be created with a project number starting with “TEMPLATE_..”. to all those specific template assigned materials, will be recorded to the new created project. Afterwards, project materials can be removed and added. ( by using “manage project materials under master files.
•Project names starting with “TEMPLATE_ “can not be used for the import of network objects.
•With managing the project materials, an overview can be shown of all project materials of the selected project. If no specific project is selected, all project materials of all projects will be shown. The overview can be exported to Excel.
•From the screen “cable work “ you can go directly to the screen “ manage project materials “.

•A link with CycloMedia aerial photographs and GlobeSpotter is operational and per customer and per user adjustable. Only for customers who have an agreement with CycloMedia can this link be activated.
•From the objectlist in the geography, the cable type can be choosen by objects before "show cable/tube - relation ". The conscious cable will be shown bold ( green ) and the frame will be coloured red in places where the cable is not connected to a tube. It is easy to check wether the geographical relationship between the tube and cable is fully or incomplete. Standard, only the part of the cable outside a building is considered. If you use the "control "button during making this choice, also the buildings insight are checked. If the lenght of the related tube has more than 5% deviation of the cable lenght, this will be noticed and the lenghts of cables and tubes will be shown. There's a notification if the cable is connected twice on a route.
•In the screen " remove object" a checkmark can be turned on, which the notification will be surpressed after removing.
•The registration of drain systems is possible in Cocon. Both underground and above ground.
• As soon as a line section is copied in the screen "finished fibers", or when a checkmark for the same action is present in the connection overview, the section name was not always fully taken into the complete connection if this connection was already occupied with the divergent line section. From now on this will be done on all places where the line section corresponds with the line section which the connection on the to copy location
•In the connection overview ( change ) standard, the pulldown box with statuses will be shown. Up to now this was shown if the field with statuses was selected. This field is now made invisible. Improvements in the performance of FTTH environments.

If the desired types are missing, you can contact the service desk. They'll add these types and the corresponding symbols.
•If in the cabling screen, the default installation is adjusted, the question will be asked if this has to be adjusted with all project objects. When positive answered, this will be carried out.
•Splice overviews have been adjusted on a better representation of patches to fibreless patch positions. The lines of these positions in the overview, will be suppressed. The equipment port of these positions is shown, while the position information is shown on the other side of the patch.
•In preparation for a new functionality , it is possible to define the width of a frame ( company table, type of frame ) and to start the count of height units at the bottom of the frame. Both of these values are still not used in Cocon. As of this version the layout of the grid is remembered.
•Various improvements in speed and results in the fibre routines.
•A button has been added in the screen splices which the selected cables or fibres can be highlighted. Press once > shows the selected cables. Press twice > shows the selected fibres. Press three times> everything is removed.
August, 2012 version 10.4.1

•Splices that have been planned, and have a detail status, will be discomposed first by confirmation. Only after the second time of confirmation, the splice will actually be confirmed.
•If a drilling is introduced with an existing name, the user gets the question whether action needs to be executed. This, to prevent double drillings.
• In certain situations , it happened sometimes that the "change screen for connections" ended up behind the screen "finished fibers". It was difficult or even impossible to enable them. As of this version the screen "finished fibers" is no longer blocked, only all elements on this screen. This will solve this problem. In the screen title, there's a notification that and why this screen is blocked.
•The enter screen for access points and enclosures is made slightly larger so that both comment fields are easier to read.
•As the key to future occupation in the utilization review of a cable is turned on, future endpoints are now also shown. If the depart from the current, the are coloured red. If both endpoints are different future, it may be that the future locations are planned as compared to the current.
June, 2012 version 10.3.2
•If an access point or an enclosure at the detailed status "blocked" is put, a new geographical symbol for the object will be used.
•From the splice screen, second tab, you can directly go to the "modify cable "by selecting a cable name or spanid in the grid on this tab. Following choosing the button with pencil.

•Registration of project materials has been improved on several points. Already applied materials in a project ( not permitted to use anymore ) will still be shown in the list where this material has been applied.
•On a large number of places there's ensured that types etc, which do not occur in project materials, will be shown in the drop down boxes. If this type already exist for the object to change.
•In the screen "manage project materials " a button has been added to delete all materials for the selected project.
•Based on a selected cable work you can also generate a license as of this version.
•Drawing the tube content cables, the information of a new label will no longer automatically be restored. This facilitated the processing. If the user will perform another action, a notice appears if you would like to save the information.
•The fibre reservation tool has been approved in several respects. The possibility to reserve on half a fibre pair ( 1 fibre ) has been added.
•In the search window of the Cocon geography, a pull down list is added, containing the last 30 searched objects ( max 30 ) By clicking on the arrow next to the search field, the list is displayed and one of the items can be selected. There's immidiately sought with this item.
•On the screen "change client contract", the possibility to change clients names on a contract is turned off for unauthorized users. The authorization can be arranged via the menu-free authorization "change client name on a contract".
•If the display "register client/server was opened as an overview, changes couldn't be made. This is solved.
•Once in the map on a XY coordinate is sought, a cross will be displayed on the map ( will be added to the cosmetic layer ) You can remove this with the deselect button.

December, 2011 version 10.2.6
•On request, searching for a project number in the screen "cable work" has been adapted. In the past you searched directly with the project number. As of now you can type in the project number ( partly ) and press the search button. This has been changed because in some cases the wrong project number was used.
•With splices and patch panels questions can be added to an object. These questions can be processed via an external tool. These questions will be processed in Cocon.
•The BAG data has been extended with a few symbols. An extra colour has been added to make a more clear difference between houses, buildings with several homes and building with other destinations. The info is retrievable via the info tool.
November, 2011 version 10.2.6
•If a cable will be intended cut, in the enclosures arises on both sides of this cable, an indication at the splice that he’s already existing and doesn’t need to be removed. In the screen “maintain splices”, this indication can be changed ( turn on or turn off ) The same concerns the cable. You can note that the cable can be installed once more. Concerned splices will get automatically the indication that they can be made or cut off. This action on the cable is irriversable.
•All indications on the cable with section name ( e.g. maintain client ) will be record as of now in a historic cable. This history can be shown via screen “maintain client”.
•The menu-option “extra search in Cocon “was accessible via the F9 button. At many requests we’ve changed this into F3. ( a more standard Window application ) The current F3 button ( maintain cable type ) is now assigned to the F9 button.

•The splice history, can be filtered by selected splice ( series ) and by reason. The history will be conveniently arranged.
•The history of splice data e.g. tray number, tray type etc will be registered as of now.
•By opening & closing a hand hole, the reason will no longer be registered in the project number of the history data but in the new field "explanation".
•As of now, splices can be provided with extra data, such as detail status, builder ( executive ) name splicer ( this person must be know as a Cocon user. owned by the splice group of the selected builder ) explanation etc. If a splice gets a detail status, the line will be colored red.
•In the geography, when objects will be put in the object list, by clicking in the map or by looking for a name or object ID, the background color of the symbol in the 1st row will be colored blue, if the involved object is marked.
•Sometimes there was a delay in selecting the zoom in- & out button. This is solved.
•As of this version, you can use the i- and u ( o ) key for zooming in and out. By pressing the same key you return to the previous function. This already worked for the PAN function.
August, 2011 version 10.2.6
•Generating a splice scheme in Excel accelerated strongly. Sheet 4 exceed by a factor five. This has been made possible by a different way of communicating with Excel. Soon, other Excel sheets will be accelerated.
•In the geography work spaces made with MapInfo can be read in the screen "import file ".
•The install date will not standard be overwrite by cutting duct routes. If this needs to be adjust, you can do this afterwards with "change functions".
•In the geographical screen, all duct routes and cables can be provided with another duct route with the 
button. This tool has adjust in the way that all lines, which the intersections of the drawn region, will be take in and correspond to the start & end point of a new duct route. Besides, a single object can be selected for a change. For this purpose, the object list will be standard shown without a selected line after a search of selection in the geography.
June, 2011 version 10.2.6
•Via option screen, tab geography, a user can indicate that the imported layers will be remembered during shutting down and starting up the geography again. The location in the list with layers will be remembered and adjust again, as well as the layer or indication can be selected.
•As of this version a new functionality is available in Cocon: a full connection can easily be exported for the benefit of another Fiber Operator. If this operator also makes use of Cocon, the exported file can be prompt read in.
•You can now search for a section name in the overview "client fibers".
•The object list for the purpose of FTTH has improved on several points.
•From the geography you can call up Google StreetView by clicking the right mouse button.

May, 2011 version 10.2.6
•In some overviews the background color is made brighter so that less yellow will be used up by printing.
•The project object list in the export function in the cable work screen, generates besides the future project object list (all set aside) also the current project object list (not set aside all).
•In a great number of Cocon screens, if you move the mouse across a grid, information is given depending the column about the content. In the latest version this information will only be given you press the shift button. Because of this the screens will be more restful. With an option you can turn off this effect.
April, 2011 version 10.2.6
•After split off records, the line remains in the selected grid. It will be easier to split off more lines after one another.
•In the outages screen, it is possible to create a list with all telephone numbers of all outages per selected day.
•In the overview frames, a filter is added to the date last survey.
•In the screen where splices are build, the cable ports are added.
•A mechanism is build in Cocon to prevent that section names can be put on connections which one of the fibers has an adjustable row status. The string can only be set by the Speer help desk.
•In the screen planned outages, all columns in all grids can be copied. They will be separated with a semicolon as unique values.
•In the screen geography, all routes and cables can be provided with another route with the button. Cables and routes ending in the drawn area will not be taken. As of this version only the selected lines in the list of objects will be taken. If in the list of objects only 1 line is selected (standard ), all objects will be taken. So e.g. if only cable 1 & route1 has to be taken with the button. These lines must be selected before activating the button. All other objects in the drawn area will be left aside.
March, 2011 version 10.2.5
•Turning on & off of the in map snap function with the S-button didn't work well. Because of this the working of the snap function button worked sometimes the other way around.
•If a cable is planned for removal, e.g. cutting of this cable, all involved fibers in this cable will keep the same history as before cutting. Even with canceling again, the history remains the same. During cutting a cable the future cable fibers will standard get status "0".
•In the future connection and attenuation report, the field location name_A & location name_B are marked red if the spices are planned in this enclosure. If the splices are the outcome of a split in the next handhole, this color is redundant. As of this version those fields in the adjacent handholes will no longer be colored red.
Februari, 2011 version 10.2.5
• The function " determine route" became faster for longer cables. A new function is made to place a buffer around an object in a more efficient way. This has particularly influence on long cables.
•Changes of ducts will be updated in the historic tables. You can recall this via a historic button 
in the screen “overview ducts " ( via the geography ) The removal of a duct will result directly in removing the historic adjustments of this duct. During cutting a route, the historic data will be connected to both routes so the history will be available for both. By way of the button 
“close history “ the overview will be closed and changes can take place.
Januari, 2011 version 10.2.5
•In the table “cable work projects and table DP areas, the level can no longer be shifted as of this release. As soon as the level has been chosen, you can start shifting the individual nodes.
•If you make changes in the geography the updates can be filed directly in case you use one of the following buttons; zoom in; zoom out; show total map; unselect; previous view; next view.

•While linking cables to ducts there’s a possibility to link cables to all ducts, even if the name is different. E.g. the name of the duct or sub duct has code “-S01”, the ducts ABC-DEF-S01-01 and ABC-EF-So2-01 will be assumed as similar ducts. This change is particularly for customers who are using a section “-S01”or –S01A” during splitting ducts and they want to add the section to a duct label.
•Of most Cocon screens, the last location will be remembered, if possible.
•With regards to the change of shifting objects: this change is reversed ( see bullet point 2 ) Due to this change a situation occurred where MapInfo software could crash. In the short term this problem can't be solved. Therefore we decided to reverse this change.
•As of now, in the screen "maintain project documents, a document can be offered once more. Even if this document is already marked for acceptance. Also you can sort out on the selected column.
•Adapting client service priority is through authorization connected to the users. Per client you can specify if a section name with client contact as regards to service priority can deviate from the standard. Note: only for issues of new connections!
•For non FTTH areas a function is added which historic network data will be shown and filed. Press ctrl + y in the map, all cables will be visible in order of installation date. This will processed once a month or half a year. Pictures of the geography will be stored in a temporary directory ( will be shown on the screen after the generation) under "NW-year-month-network length" in KM.jpg ( e.g. NW-2009-07-1234.jpg"in July 2009 there was a network of 1234 kilometers present.
•In the screen " maintain clients" you can place a access code of 10 symbols max. This access code will also be shown in the client name overview results.
December, 2010 version 10.2.5

•If a cable in a future route was cut at a later moment instead of the same moment, the cable in the new tube were not updated. As of now this will be done.
•We added two buttons in the toolbar of the geographic screen to show the trench capacity in the shape of a label. After choosing 1 of the labels, an object will be made which will be filled with the complete content of a trench at the point where the click is made in the geography. The first shows the content on duct level without cables & possible subduct system type. The 2nd shows all ducts, subducts and the in those present cables. Please note: the labels are a random indication. Once something is changing in the trench, the label is no longer up to date. This option is only made for the preparation of printing from the map. Therefore, the buttons are only active if the central draw layer isn’t chosen.
•Changing the connectors in the insert/change patch panel can now be done with the button “change connector “. You can change the connector irrespective of the patch is in position. In addition, of the selected lines only the even or odd positions can be changed. With this you can easily insert trays which the odd and even position has a different type of connector. Also, you can select multiple lines to combine these. All lines who can be combined, will be combined.

It is possible to choose from a number of pre-defined Map lay outs in the Cocon option screen (main menu, extra, options, tab geography). These lay outs were created to choose a pleasant geography lay out quick and easy. Lay out settings are saved when the geography is being closed, so before doing that it is always possible to go back to the original lay out settings.
•Own drawing layer: Own/personal objects can be entered by all users (also for users with reading rights). These objects are saved locally on the pc therefore other users will not see the objects. Use the drawing button band to enter new objects. The object style can be pre-defined by using style buttons. Emptying a complete drawing layer is done by clicking a button. The drawing layer is known as 'MIDraw' in the 'layer control'. When the object is finished Cocon asks for a label. When choosing 'cancel' the object will not be saved. For an empty label choose 'OK'. Change objects by activating the 'change drawing layer' icon in the change button band. Changes can be saved to the map or cancelled. A drawing object can be changed by first selecting it. Then the label can be changed by activating the 'change label from selected drawing object' icon. Shape and position of the drawing object can now be changed by using the mouse. Adding or changes drawing objects nodes can be done by activating the 'change selected object' icon and/or the 'add point to selected object' icon. The object style can be changed by using style icons in the drawing button band.
•Other changes: When the layer defined routes/ cable works/ blocked areas/ permits is open when closing the geography, the next time the geography is started it will open automatically. Layer Control can be entered quickly by using Ctrl-M in the geography screen. By pressing the Control button while drawing it is easier to draw 45 or 90 degrees angles. Besides the possibility to use GRB files it is now also possible to use GIRAF files (not for all customers). GIRAF files are treated just like GRB files.

It is however possible to change the zoom level from the 'enter/change access point' screen.
•In the same right mouse menu the possibility is added to proceed directly from an object to the 'cable works' screen. Searching takes place for closed cable works! When no project number is available an announcement will appear.
•In the 'cable works' screen searching by ticket number (PA-xxxxx) is possible. Double click on a ticket number from the 'outage report' screen for outage details.
August, 2007 version 9.7.4
•In the 'cable works' screen the 
button is added. With this button a cable work a permit drawing can be generated. New/to be deleted traces, new/to be deleted access points, new/to be deleted enclosures and new/to be deleted splices are taken into account.
•It is possible to choose for only showing street labels once per street or showing street labels several times per street.
•It is possible to open original CAD files in the geography by using the right mouse menu. This option will make sure the CAD file is opened in AutoCAD or Microstation en therefore not in the geography itself. When using this option Cocon decides what CAD files are one the selected area. When one CAD file is found, this file will be opened in the, by Windows, defined program. When multiple CAD files are found a list is shown and the user can open one or more files from that list.
•Activating a planned work results in an e-mail to the NOC/NMC. Employees of NOC/NMC have to activate or refuse the planned work.
•In the 'fiber usage' report a button is added that will show all cables that are presumably not (correctly) linked to the ducts.
•Planned Work Light is operational. From 'terminated fibers' and 'fiber usage' report an outage can be defined after first selecting one or more fiber(s) and then using the right mouse button menu.

•In the object list in the geographical screen the number of enclosures per access point are added behind the access point name.
•In the 'maintain splices' screen the number of enclosures per access point and the object ID are added.
•When entering ducts the diameter of a previous entered duct is adopted. When there is no previous duct entered on the route, the default diameter is adopted.
•When a cable work status is different from 'mutations allowed', related fibers will also be taken into consideration when an outage occurs. This way the situation won't be changed without the one responsible for the outage knows.
•When the Cocon environment exists out of several environments, it is possible to select routes from other environments in the geography.
July, 2007 version 9.7.4
•When entering drillings the following name will be generated: GBKN number where drilling started with a serial number of 1 higher than the already entered highest number. (Not for all costumers)
•In the 'enter drilling' screen the possibility is added to create a folder for linked files. After creation the folder is opened immediately.
•When entering a building the OK button will be active after the postal code (or a random value in the postal code field) and the building's name are entered.

•Unnecessary cables works can be deleted controlled from this Cocon version on. Please contact Speer IT about the possibilities.
•From this Cocon version on it is possible to enter the type of patch cord. Three standard types have already been set in the system. If the one you need is missing please contact your application controller.
•The 'sections report' screen is adjustable is size. By pressing the measuring staff it is possible to determine connection lengths.
•It's possible to select whether a patch unit or rass unit is located at the front or at the back of the frame. Default position will be at the front but by deleting the check it's presumed the unit is located at the back.
•In this Cocon version a lot of changes and improvements have been made to the automatic routing mechanism.
•When exporting files it is possible to export all related connections to an Excel file by a check field. Connections shown are fiber changes in patch panels and splice shelves, enclosures, new fibers and fibers marked for deletion.
May, 2007 version 9.7.3

•The 'maintain splices' screen is adjustable is size.
•When routes are adjusted in the geography, the possibility to repair end point relations is offered automatically.
•The 'check' menu is expanded with the possibility to check layers in cad files for presence, absence and maximum length.
•From this Cocon version on it is possible to register the precision for routes, access points and buildings. In other words, register the draw or measure accuracy for objects. With the registered measure the maximum deviation in meters will be shown.
•When entering access points depth in centimeters can be entered. Also it is possible to enter whether the access point is buried or visible. The depth is the distance between ground level and top of the access point. For instance, -60cm means the access point is 60 centimeters below ground level. 90 cm (no minus) means the access point is aboveground and the top of the access point is 90 centimeters above ground level.
April, 2007 version 9.7.3
•The 'terminated fibers' screen is added with the function 'create export for tray labels' which will generate an Excel report on all current termination unit positions.
•The report on hand holes is changed. A picture is generated which will be shown on the first excel sheet. When available also autocad drawings are shown (GBKN, Routes, Asbuilt). In addition pictures which are present in linked files are shown in a separate sheet of the hand hole map. This way file types like png, jpg, gif and bmp can be shown. For each type a new sheet is created.
•The report on cable works can now be enlarged and reduced. Grid columns are adjustable and the changing position in the screen problem is also solved.
•The report on locations is added with the possibility to select all locations types excluding the entered type.

•From this Cocon version on the numbers of ducts for routes are presented between brackets in the geographical screen object list.
•In the traject routing screen it is now possible to enter a distance when searching for a handhole. The handhole is then searched within that distance. The traject route will be to the found handhole in stead of the nearest network. In addition, locations connected to the network are taken into account and starting costs for the created situation can be recorded.
•The patch report is normally created with 2 fibers (when both fibers share the same section name). In the user options screen it is possible to change this to 1 fiber.
•Found postal codes are now indicated by color, this way it is possible to determine the source (determine correct location).
•In user options screen it is possible for each user to set the size for the found postal codes symbol him/herself.
•From this version it's possible to register measurements lines in Cocon. For further information see the help files.

•The possibility is added in the complete connections screen and attenuation report to view connections (current or future) including frames and patches in-between. Press 
for current situation and press 
for future situation.
•When maintaining frames types it is now possible to enter width and length per frame. This has to be done once-only for each type of frame in preparation for Lincon.
February, 2007 version 9.7.2
•Missing or wrong ACN addresses can be reported to Speer IT by sending an e-mail to support@speer.it. The e-mail must include postal code, house number, street, city and the correct x- and y-ordinate. The rectified addresses are automatically processed and reported to the land registry by Speer IT. This adjustment applies to customers working with ACN data.
•The possibility is added to process routes in batches (on a different server) when importing and processing routes in Excel. The results will be sent by e-mail. To use this option a special batch server needs to be set up.
•For customers working with client/server relations, the possibility is added to press the "S" button from the screen 'terminated fibers' after which the current section name is added as server, after which relations between the server and the clients can be set by pressing the "manage clients" button. When the server already exists the 'client/server relations' screen will open immediately. Under both circumstances, filters are set in this screen so quick selection is possible.
•When searching on name, search results in the geography are shown sorted.
•In the 'options screen' a new option is added by which users can choose to see air pictures in the geography. Air pictures need to be available.
•For Belgian users the possibility is added to open and close Urbis-data through the right mouse menu in the Cocon map. The Urbis-data needs to be available on the system.
January, 2007 version 9.7.2
•When calculating a length and placing a cross in the geography, depending on that length, by using this button 
it is now possible to calculate through patches. Also, the possibility is added to leave the previous cross in its position (click the button with the red plus sign).
•On many locations in Cocon the possibility is added to determine which network components can be used by which customers. Enter the screen by clicking this button .
•From the right mouse menu in the geographical screen it is possible to open and/or close a layer with all routes containing a minimum of 1 duct which is in use by a cable containing at least 2 free fibers. This way it is possible to do a high level check and see if cable assignments to ducts are complete. On routes with multiple cables this check will not work.
• When involving fibers to an outage, the possibility is added to indicate that a fiber will definitely be interrupted. When this statement isn't entered it will be defined by the definition of the cable work and activities within the cable work. This functionality offers a solution when, for example, a broken patch panel tray or GCO is going to be replaced. Naturally, all statements are taken in consideration in the automatic reporting process to customers.
•In the routing tool the possibility is added to state that only routes containing cables can be used.
•From this Cocon version on the routing tool considers the fact it is not possible to use ducts from third parties and/or drillings for a network entering point.

•From this Cocon version on using filters is only applicable to routes and cables. This way opening Oracle tables is more efficient.
•It is now possible to enter enclosures (splice boxes) in buildings. Up till now they had to be drawn as frames which is no longer necessary.
•From this Cocon version on geographical files are opened from the application server in stead of the database server. A batch-process makes sure all files are synchronized. By doing this the start up of the application for viewing and mutating is a lot faster. In addition, viewers now have a more recent Cocon version than they were used to. Adjusting settings concerning opening from the application server can be done in the "options" screen.
•In the "cable works screen" can be searched for objects and also for items concerning project confirmations. When an item, such as a confirmed cable name, is found it is possible to enter the report containing the confirmation by double clicking the line (indicated by this symbol 
).
•A route that is drawn to a building is no longer snapped to the centre of the building.
•Disconnected cable works are suppressed in the geography. With a check in the concerning box in the "cable works" screen, disconnected cable works can be made visible again. Preferred position is saved.
•In this Cocon version a link with GBKN-online is implemented. Before using this link a contract with LSV GBKN needs to be closed. More information about this contract you will find here: http://www.gbkn.nl/nieuwesite/basiskaartonline/start.html By using this button the GBKN data for this screen is collected from GBKN and presented to the requester.
November, 2006 version 9.7.1
•The "enter ducts" screen is adjustable in size and lay-out. The adjustments are saved per user.
•Also in the "enter ducts" screen tools are added to simplify the process of linking cables to ducts.
•Traject routing will stop when the total length of a path is greater then the distance measured in a straight line multiplied by the ratio digging distance/distance in a straight line.
•From this Cocon version on it is possible to keep track of digging costs per district within and outside built-up area (file→base tables→maintain business table→digging costs).
•In addition, it is possible to automatically determine and show a second path for traject routing in the geography. The shortest route is shown fist.
•In the same function, the first path will executed the other way round when the set time is exceeded.
•In some Excel reports selection or key values are entered as a column.
•When importing CAD files it is possible to opt for preservation of the CAD file colors.
•Not for all customers: by clicking the right mouse button in the geography you will find an additional menu under 'Open CAD files' and 'Open BBK'. This additional menu provides the choice between layers together and layers apart. The first sub menu will proceed to the regular functionality. The second sub menu will open the 'Import file' screen containing all layers separately for the concerning CAD file.
October, 2006 version 9.7.1
•When changing a connection in the change reservation screen, the concerning status and project number of involved patches will also be changed.
•A number of changes have been made concerning the traject routing tool. Digging and drilling costs are adjustable on a company level. Non-authorized persons will not be able to change digging and drilling costs. Digging costs within and outside city lines are separately adjustable. Export data for the second path is placed in a separate export field in a separate frame on the screen. In addition, a frame containing totals is made. It is possible to set a value which defines the average factor (digging distance/straight line distance to the network). It is also possible to set the cable type for calculating. Standard type will be G652.
•Changes have been made in the 'cable works' screen. A button is added for closing a project; this used to be a check box.
• In the 'enter ducts' screen (where cables can be assigned to a duct), a field can be checked to be able to place the cable at any position (if possible) in the selected duct.
•From this Cocon version it is possible to generate a patch unit from a splice shelf. This is only possible for lines with a patch panel number and tray number.
•In the 'rass splices' screen (splices on a splice shelf in a frame) it is possible to select and delete multiple splices simultaneously.
•For some customers the possibility is added to shut down the controls for changes in entering the splice shelves. By doing so it is possible to change positions after the splices have been created.
•In the Fiber-to-the-home registration it is now possible to involve all addresses along the route.
•In addition, it is possible to connect to an earlier traject without a handhole being in that particular place.
•This applies only to addresses that are (almost) square to the drawn route.
•When printing the network directory it is possible to opt for detail repression. This way the print out contains less information.
September, 2006 version 9.7.1
•Cables that are on slack on both ends can now be linked to a duct.
•In the insert patch unit screen, insert splice shelf screen and the maintain business tables screen the possibility is added to mark all selected lines for deletion.
•When importing an excel sheet from the geography it is possible to generate a picture. First select including routing and then select including picture. This only applies to lines with successful routing.
•For cables that are on slack on both ends it is now possible to determine the correct traject just like for other cables. This function can be started with the right mousse button in the geographical screen after selecting the concerning cable.
•When determining land owners Cocon will now also show whether the location is outside the built-up area but within municipality lines.
•Possibility added to choose "project splice scheme" in the geographical screen. Only splices that are planned for planning or reserved for removal are shown.
•In the cable work screen a button is added which can create a GIF file, containing the created splice scheme in the geography, for all enclosures from the selected project that need to be linked.
•When opening a drawing in Cocon, Cocon would zoom out to show the complete drawing. In case of a large drawing this could take a very long time. Not zooming out to see the complete drawing was also not a good solution because uploaded drawings could just not be found anymore. From now on there are three situations where Cocon will respond differently: 1. The drawing is smaller than the Cocon Map window: Cocon will zoom to the drawing. 2. The drawing is larger than Cocon Map window and lies partially within the Cocon Mapo window: Nothing happens. 3. The drawing is smaller than the Cocon Map window and lies completely outside the Cocon Map window: Zoom level stays the same and the drawing is shown aligned.
•In the Frame Lay-out report all excel buttons are removed and the save button is replaced by a print button. A Frame Lay-out report is created reflecting the situation at that moment. The old way of working raise some questions about the present situation.
August, 2006 version 9.6.8
•When using the 
button it is possible in some locations to use other characters then just letters. For instance a new generated name could be "12." or "ABO".
•In the fiber usage screen it is possible to paste 1 or more selected cells from an Excel file at once in the grid by clicking ctrl+shift+V. Pasting will be from the selected line in the grid. When multiple lines are selected in the Excel file, multiple lines will be changed in the grid. When multiple columns are selected in the Excel file the columns will be joined , separated by a space, and placed in the section name field.
•The status of termination detail lines in the entering patch- or splice units screen will automatically have the last used status.
•From the several connection reports can be switched directly to the splices in a frame (splices on the rass) and to the insert patch unit screen.
•The terminated fibers screen, the cable usage screen, the connection reports and such are adjustable in size and lay-out, in addition all adjustments are saved per user. Not all screens are adjustable because most of the time it is not necessary.
•Registration break-out cables. (not for all customers)
•New report with all interruptions, filters included.
•Interruptions outside the service windows turn red in the screen. Also customers that are not informed on time turn red on the screen, it is possible to add a reason why.
•In planned work it is possible to add if a connection needs to be measured after interruption and/or if PSA's need to be communicated to the customer.
•In the interruption report the SPOF (single point of failure) function is adjusted.
July, 2006 version 9.6.8
•In the geographical screen it is possible to create a duct splice scheme for an access point by clicking the right mousse button.
•The splice history report now shows the cable names.
•The hand hole report is expanded with routes that are next to or beyond the hand hole.

•Ring fibers (fibers connected to a certain ring) can be shown in the geographical screen.
•Releasing blocked users (users who exceed the limit of wrong entries to the system) is possible via users authorization.
•On many locations in Cocon searching is being done by a wildcard. This means everything containing (a part of) the given string is being found in the searched items. As of this version of Cocon it is possible to remove the wildcard at the beginning or end of the search string by the “|” (pipe)-sign. This way only items containing the full search string (at the beginning or end) are being found.
•In the screen fiber usages the possibility to search for values at the end point of a fiber is created.
•Registering contacts to contracts is added to the contract screen. There for the entering screen for contract contacts is cancelled.
•It is possible to search for a particular customer in the contract screen (filter).
•The function users authorization is simplified. Turning on or off a function in aberration to the group can now be done by just clicking the on/off button. In addition, a report function is added in Excel.
•When closing a project there will be asked whether or not other related projects need to be released. The projects are in use and can subsequently be involved in another project.
•In the screen change reservations it is possible to reserve all present patches for removal from a connection that is reserved for removal. This can be done by using the same button as when generating patches.
•Releasing a complete connection can be done by clicking the remove section name button in the terminated fibers screen. The status of the connection has to be reserved for removal. When the patches are also reserved for removal they will be removed as well. When the patches aren’t reserved for removal the connection will have a status 3 (free connection) afterwards.
•From the terminated fibers screen it is possible to switch to the change reservations screen by using the button.
•The users options screen is provided with separate sheets otherwise the information would not fit to the screen.
•The settlement of the geographical background data is changed. Especially when multiple countries are present in the geography. Each user select 1, 2 or 3 data sets in the users options screen. The geography always starts in the first data set. As soon as a user zooms in more than 1 kilometer (minimal zoom action 50 percent) in one of the other data sets the correct background data set will automatically be activated. Because of this is not necessary to join the data sets to one set and therefore the performance will improve. The data sets locations can vary per customer. De user himself/herself can determine the locations along with the application controller.
•When a section name needs to be placed in the terminated fibers screen the desired line has to be double clicked. As of this version of Cocon the current default project number will appear automatically in the pop up screen.
•The report duct routes and ducts is added. This report works the same as the cable usage report but at the level of duct routes and ducts. The result are always routes between two locations. When the duct route name is double clicked the content of the duct route will appear.
June, 2006 version 9.6.8
•Making a local copy is now more controllable for the user. Own directories can be created and it is possible to specify where from and where to files have to be copied.
•All relevant reports are provided with the opportunity to export the results to an Excel file.
•In the terminated fibers screen it is now possible to drag OTDR files from an explorer to the correct finished position. The link to the concerning file will be automatically created.
•An added advantage is created by the possibility to upload an Excel sheet with different locations. All locations in the sheet can be routed to the nearest network and POP. All sorts of information is given such as digging length and network length.
•In the report available ducts, ducts that are used by a different user or owner are no longer available. In addition, before opening this view on the network a refresh of the duct layer is done automatically so the latest changes are immediately visible.
•When selecting a different cable network in the cable network screen some other screens are closed automatically to ensure no accidental work is done with a wrong project.
•The screen fiber routing (button in geographical screen) is extended with the possibility to take all cables in consideration. Because of this a wider range of routing paths are calculated. In addition, a strong improvement is made in relation to the old version.
•In the status field of the Cocon main screen (on the bottom at the right) the default project number is added.
•On the second page of the screen where splices can be made, relations between ports and cables can be created by selecting a port and then select (double click) the cable. It is now also possible to first select the cable and then the port. To undo the relation just type 0 in the port.
•Dealing with the S-key (snap on/off) and the H-key (grabber on/off) in the geographical screen is improved. The keys are now always available instead of just when the screen was active.
•Pressing R in the geographical screen executes a refresh on the screen. This way the problem of a busy computer not finishing the build up of the screen is solved. This function can be used like the button with the brush.
•A great amount of expansions are implemented so that interruptions can be planned and managed better. For example, the communication with the customer is fully automatic. (Not for all customers).
•Projects can be closed Also the possibility of only showing current projects is added. Closed projects are no longer mentioned on the favorites lists.
•When the detailed status of an enclosure is set on "being build" (status=1), the enclosure is blocked for any changes.
May, 2006 version 9.6.7
•The trajectory routing is expanded with functions for the definition of own routes, accepting of uneven crossings and the removal of own route sections. In addition, a primary version of the generation of a double separated route is made operational.
•In the geographical screen there is the added advantage of being able to save, delete and view certain geographical locations as favorites.
•By way of an export function it is possible to feed a TomTom with object points from within Cocon (access points and buildings)
•If all (sub) tubes of a trajectory are owned by an external party, the trajectory, just as the cable, will be orange in colour.
•There is an added option to register the seco/slot positions of Tubes in a GCO. This option must be specifically activated per area. Refer further, if necessary, to Speer IT.
•In the geographical screen there is the added option to go back many previous zoom levels. It is also now possible to select the following next to the previous. If the previous is chosen a number of times, and a screen action follows, other than the following, then the history of the following views is erased. In others words, if after going back from the views a screen action is carried out (zooming or panning), then the following can no longer be chosen.
April, 2006 version 9.6.7
•By and etail stats can be filled in. These stats can indicate, for example, that a confirmed handhole is not yet built, or if it will be. If the status differs from the first (value 0, default n/a) the relevant object is also indicated so that it is visible in the geo that there is something wrong with the object. The various stats can be managed in the company chart `diverse`.
