Selection responses, actions enhancements and reporting updates
It's a shorter set of release notes this month as the team continues to work away on bigger features behind the scenes. Plenty of good stuff in the works!
Selection response types are here
The new Selection response type allows you to quickly pick from Suppliers, Assets or Users when working through jobs, making it quicker and easier than typing responses manually. You can also create your own custom lists to select from when creating the job as well.
You'll find the new Selection response type when adding a step to a new or existing job in the Job Manager:
- Navigate to the Managers Hub -> Job Manager
- Create a new job by clicking Create Job, give it a name, then add a new step.
- Choose Selection in the Type of step field. You can choose where you want to pull your data from (or create a custom list) and whether you want to allow single or multiple answers.
Action enhancements and new reporting area
When raising actions, these can now be assigned a priority level and a due date so you can prioritize the most important actions in your business. High priority and overdue actions will take preference on the assigned user's dashboard to ensure nothing gets missed.
To accompany this, we've also introduced a new section within the Reports area that will give a high level view of actions raised and resolved across your entire business. This can be accessed by navigating to Managers Hub -> Reports and selecting the Actions tab.
PDF updates for jobs with nested steps
PDF reports have seen a change in how nested steps are displayed. We've previously shown the responses within nested steps at the end of the PDF report, however this can sometimes break up the readability and flow of information when you've got a number of them within one job.
Nested steps are now displayed inline at their appropriate place in the job report - you'll notice a small summary and a slightly different step number to indicate this.
And a few more things...
- 🚀 The team has made some significant upgrades to our virtualization system and data loading setup for job list components. Loose translation: More speed and better performance
- 👻 Section and Information steps can now be excluded by location when creating jobs, so you can hide them where they aren't required.
- 👉 If you haven't already, make sure you grab the latest versions of the Operandio app from the App Store or Google Play
That's it for this one! As always, if you have any questions or feedback on any of these new features, please get in touch with us at support@operandio.com and let us know.
