        • SprinklerScan pump test records now allow users to store pitot readings in device notes. A new Alternate Power checkbox has also been added to pump test entries, allowing users to document when a pump test was completed using an alternate power source. When used, this produces a new curve on the pump graph.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Users can now locate a building for download by scanning a LiveArchive QR code associated with that building. From the search bar, simply select the QR code icon and scan the code to locate the building.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
