This allows users to categorize events that require further attention and streamline the management process. Lastly, the ‘Follow Up’ status is now available for Scheduled Events marked as ‘Completed.’ These updates are designed to provide a more efficient and user-friendly platform for managing events.

• Previously, building owners didn’t have the privilege to decipher the meaning of various status tags. Now, with the new update, when they hover over a status tag, text pops up explaining what that particular tag signifies. For instance, if the tag reads, “Inspection all clear. No review necessary.,” it implies that the building has passed the inspection and doesn’t require further scrutiny. The same feature is extended to BRForms. Here, the status tags mirror the specific value set within the form. For example, if a form’s status tag reads “Failed” or “All clear,” it directly corresponds to the value defined inside the form. This makes the process more intuitive and easy to understand.

Integrations

• Service Line Pick-list options – Added functionality allowing Integrations users to specify: Per failed device, Per failed device type, and/or Per inspection (all devices) what Service Line value they want associated with each discrepancy sent to integrated software

Standard Reports

• Previously, when modifying device details using the modal device editor, issues arose if that device had been removed or replaced. Since the device in question no longer exists in the report, except as a reference, changes to device details should not be required. This situation created confusion, as deleted or replaced devices in the report were still showing as editable. To improve user experience, we’ve refined this feature so details for deleted or replaced devices in the report cannot be edited.
• Updated modal device editor

• Updates to SafetyScan CIHQ report
