26th September 2023 | Platform: V3

New Features:

  • Team Settings - Automatic Workflow Updates - this feature has been improved and now downloads all Workflows on the Team in addition to those attached to Jobs to which the User is assigned. When enabled, each User's device will automatically download all Workflows available to the User, including updates to Workflows that have already been downloaded

  • User Management - new User management screens have been added into v3, so that Owners and Admins can manage the Users on the Team from v3 instead of using the v2 Dashboard. Users can be added, locked, unlocked and deleted here as well as managing individual User information and permissions

  • Team Settings - Pull Forward Overdue Jobs - there is a new Team Setting that configures how Jobs display in the Home/Schedule screen. When this setting is enabled, all overdue Jobs will always show on "today" on the Home/Schedule screen, instead of falling into the past. This is designed for companies who need to ensure that all Jobs are visible and closed out, rather than allowing Jobs to fall back in the schedule

  • System Workflows - the system now allows for Workflows to be set (via the API) as 'System Workflows'. This means that the Workflows will not be automatically downloaded by the system or visible to the User as selectable Workflows when setting up a new Job. Instead, they are designed to be used programmatically when creating Jobs via an integrated system

Fixed:

  • Admins can now access all Tasks on a Job including when the Task is a Workflow with restricted access permissions. Previously, Admins could not start a restricted Workflow

  • Users without appropriate Workflow permissions can no longer access the Task, with the exception of Admins who have overriding permissions

  • When the Workflow Updated Lapsed Time Team Setting is enabled, on the Job Details screen a Task would show a "check for updates" warning even where the latest version of the Workflow was downloaded

  • Admins can now access the Share Job menu, even when they do not have the specific Job permission. Previously the Admin role did not override the permission and they were unable to share the Job

____________________________________________________________________________________________

31st August 2023 | Platform: V3

New Features:

  • Improvements have been made to the sync mechanism to better cope with environments with poor connectivity

____________________________________________________________________________________________

2nd August 2023 | Platform: V3


New Features:

  • New "Settings" section added to the main menu, which contains a number of Team Settings that allow for configuration of specific features
  • Team Setting - Auto Download Workflows added. When enabled, devices logged into the system will automatically download all Workflows available to the user to local storage so that Jobs can be started offline
  • Team Setting - Workflow Update Lapsed Time added. When enabled with a selected time, each device must periodically (according to the time set) connect to the server to check for updates to available Workflows. If the device is offline for beyond the allowable time and does not connect to the server, the user will be unable to start new Tasks until they have checked for updates
  • Team Setting - Require Reason on Data Edit added. When enabled (either as 'required' or 'optional'), the user is asked to enter a reason if they go back to a previous step in the Task they are completing and they change previously inputted data
  • Team Setting - Require Abandon Reason added. When enabled, if a user abandons a Job they will be required to enter a reason that the Job is being abandoned
  • Team Setting - All Approvers Required for Workflow Approval added. When enabled, all Approvers must approve a Workflow before it can go live, instead of being able to go live with just one Approver's approval
  • Team Setting - Remote Expert Solution added. This allows selection of the remote expert solution to be used
  • Team Setting - Default Time Zone added. This allows for selection of the time zone to be used for Reports

Fixed:

  • Fixed - Line breaks in step descriptions now display correctly in Groups
  • Fixed - Adding and starting a new Task in the Job Details screen after all of the existing Tasks had been completed could result in a page freeze. Now resolved
  • Fixed - In the Job Browser, Job names now truncate in the middle if they are too long, making it easier to see the context at the end of the Job name

____________________________________________________________________________________________

28th June 2023 | Platform: V3

Fixed:

  • Fixed - When adding more than one photo/video to a Media Step inside of a Task, the thumbnail for the photos/videos already added would disappear when you added more than one
  • Fixed - On the Job Details screen, "Captured Media" wouldn't show thumbnails clearly and would have a 'sync' icon over them
  • Fixed - You can now only save a Job Template once the Job has been saved
  • Fixed: If you tried to open a Task immediately after adding it to a Job then it would fail to open

____________________________________________________________________________________________

20th June 2023 | Platform: V3

Fixed: 

  • The system has been updated to manage situations where there are multiple data sets within a Task differently. This includes situations where two users have accessed the same Task or where a Task is paused and completed across multiple sessions. The system now chooses the most complete data path and this is more reliable for completeness and report generation

____________________________________________________________________________________________

16th June 2023 | Platform: V3

Fixed: 

  • We have upgraded some server components including the Report Renderer, which collectively should improve both the performance and reliability of the Reports Service

Fixed:

  • The user can no longer press pause on their Task once they have pressed the Finish Task button, which was putting the Task into a bad state

New Features:

  • If there is no Target and Scheduled Date then both will be defaulted to “Today’s date” and Time will be “All Day”(treated as scheduled for 23:59).

____________________________________________________________________________________________

3rd November 2022 | Platform: V3

 

New Features:

  • A change has been made such that users with Job Operator permission only cannot abandon a Job. This right is now restricted to Owners/Admins on the Team and Job Owners/Managers

  • There is a new option that can be set by Team Owners/Admins and Job Owners/Managers such that a Job cannot be closed by an Operator until all of the Tasks have been completed on the Job

  • Tasks in V3 now have a new description field, which allows for context-driven information to be optionally added for each Task, to provide additional information to the Operator. Operators can view these but cannot set them.


Fixed:

  • If you launch a Job using a URL and specify metadata in the URL, that metadata is now saved

  • There was a rare case where a workflow could get into a state where the system is unable to read it  - specifically when the Start Steps get into the wrong order when the workflow is built, but now resolved

  • Metadata is now returned from the GraphQL v2 endpoint so this works now for V3

  • It is now possible to open and view a Closed Job instead of seeing a perpetual loading spinner

  • On the New Job screen, if the back arrow was pressed you would see a blank screen, now fixed

  • When clicking back within a Task to a previous step, any subsequent decision steps would require re-validation even if the value is still selected and valid, now resolved.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

5th August 2022 | Platform: V3

 

New Features:

  • You can now set a Teams default language in the Partner Portal (This will be used for email notifications in later functionality and at some point the V3 language picker will be retired and integrated into this setting). Therefore, this feature is currently redundant and can be ignored (it is not customer facing)

  • You can create Job Templates - this will let you define more complex jobs that can then be completed many times

  • Workflow permissions are now respected in Jobs. If a Job Operator does not have permission to access a Workflow that is populated as a Task on the Job, they will be unable to complete the Task.

Fixed: 

  • If you miss a required step it now highlights in red on the step
  • Job assignment now works and you can share the Job appropriately with other users and assign them
  • Repeating signature steps now have a blank canvas each time.
