This week’s release is a smaller but powerful update, but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes as we prepare for bigger features coming your way soon. In the meantime, we’ve rolled out a few key enhancements to improve your day-to-day experience in Operandio:

🔗 Assets: View Linked Jobs in the Asset Viewer

We’ve improved the way you track jobs tied to specific assets. While jobs could previously be linked to assets via selection steps, they weren’t visible within the asset itself - until now.

A new “Jobs” tab has been added to the Asset Viewer, allowing you to easily see which jobs have been linked to an asset. Each job in the list is clickable, so you can quickly access full job details without having to search elsewhere.

This makes it much easier to review work history, schedule upcoming tasks, and keep everything aligned across your equipment and locations. This is another step towards a full-form Asset Management system that will soon be coming to Operandio!

📱 Experience Improvements & Bug Fixes

🛠️ Actions Filters on Mobile: Improved filtering by location and area for smoother action management.

🏷️ Filter on Actions Linked to Assets: Easily find actions associated with specific assets.

✅ Training Status Filter in People View: Fixed issues filtering users by training status.

🧭 Left Navigation Overflow: Added scroll and overflow support for better navigation on long menus.

We’re continuing to make steady improvements, with major new capabilities in the pipeline. As always, your feedback helps shape the future of Operandio.

💬 Questions or suggestions? Reach us anytime at support@operandio.com

We’re excited to roll out this week’s updates - designed to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and make your Operandio experience even smoother! Here’s what’s new:

📅 Location Opening Hours & Job Due Times
You can now set location-specific operating hours and adjust job due times based on your venue’s opening and closing times.

• Set Location Operating Hours: Easily configure your venue’s operating hours directly in the system.
• Due At Settings: Jobs can now be automatically set to be due a specific number of hours before or after your venue opens or closes. This ensures tasks are completed either before operations begin or after they end, automating your scheduling and reducing manual work.

This feature helps improve consistency and efficiency across locations, ensuring tasks align with operational hours.

Here is a quick video demonstrating the feature:

🔗 Early version of Work Orders now live: link actions to assets

Now, you can link actions directly to assets, with these linked actions visible both in the Assets Screen and Actions Screen. Use this update to raise work orders for equipment or assets that need maintenance, repairs or servicing. Linked actions appear in both the Assets and Actions screens, improving tracking and streamlining workflows. This is the first step towards a full-form Asset Management system that will soon be coming to Operandio!

🏷️ Add Images & Logos to Labels

Make your labels more visually appealing and easier to identify by adding images and logos! This feature is still in early testing, and we’d love for you to be part of it! Contact us to try out these new features and share your feedback.

🔧 Other Updates & Bug Fixes

• Portuguese Language Updates: Based on customer feedback, we’ve expanded our Portuguese language support.
• Completed Training Modules: Users can now view content from completed training modules.
• Forced YouTube Video Viewing in Training: You can now require users to watch specific YouTube videos in training modules before proceeding.
• Rearrange Answers in Training Modules: Trainers can now shuffle or rearrange answers in question-based training modules.

We're back into it for 2025 and there's a lot on the roadmap! Here's a quick update on some of the new features that we've recently released.

New Business Intelligence (BI) integration for enhanced reporting

Operandio now integrates with your existing Business Intelligence tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau to allow you to extract powerful insights from your data. With this new integration, you can capture and analyze metrics around job completion, staff training and more. Reach out to us if you're interested in setting up this integration within your account.

Photo upload enhancements

You can now add shapes, numeric markers, and freehand drawings to uploaded photos as part of image responses, added notes, or raised actions. Once you've taken a photo on your device, simply:

1. Tap the photo thumbnail to edit it.
2. Use the toolbar on the right to add shapes, markers or drawings to the image to highlight any important areas. If you make a mistake, simply hit the Undo icon.
3. Save your edits with the green checkmark and upload as usual!

Contextual information in training reports

We've made a couple of small changes here to bring in contextual training information when reviewing staff training. You can now access course completion details by clicking either the staff member name or the score of a course they've completed. The module scores they achieved will then be shown so you can get a detailed view into each of their quiz answers without leaving the Reports area. You can access this through the Managers Hub, and then Reports > Training.

You might have missed...

1. Deputy Integration Update: If you're using the Deputy integration to manage your staff, we've made an update to automatically set staff as Inactive in Operandio if they've been archived in Deputy. This check will occur each time your Deputy account is synced with Operandio.
2. New Sensor Support:  We now support the Emerson Lumity Bluetooth LE Cooking Oil Testers for monitoring cooking oil quality. You can use this just like any other device within an Operandio job by connecting via Bluetooth — check out the quick video run-through for more info.
3. Knowledge Base Kiosk Restrictions: Regional Managers and Administrators can now restrict certain Knowledge Base articles to be viewed only on kiosk devices within your business. This option is available when creating or editing an article — simply check the Restrict article access to kiosk devices checkbox to activate.

Bugfixes

• 🌡️ On-page performance has been increased for venues monitoring a large number of sensors in the Sensors area
• 🔍 Fixed an issue where search results were no longer resetting correctly after navigating to the "More results" in the search bar.

Feedback?

We review and consider all feedback and requests (no matter how big or small!), and are committed to making Operandio easier for both staff on the frontline and those in the office.

This month sees some more improvements in the Reports area for step completion insights, along with the ability to customize parts of the Operandio interface, and new trigger options for keeping an eye on raised actions.

Single step reporting

This has been the subject of a few requests here at Operandio! Within the Reports area, you can now drill down to individual steps within a job to view responses across multiple days and locations, all within one screen. It's now much easier to compare the exact same step response at all your business locations and see where steps are being completed correctly (or not).

For a quick demo of this feature in action, check out the above video.

UI customization

If you're an Enterprise customer, you can now personalize parts of the Operandio interface to better reflect your brand. Update the logo that is displayed within the header of the desktop app and on mobile devices, the color of interactive elements such as buttons, checkboxes and icons, and the site title and favicon too. Get in touch with us at support@operandio.com if you'd like to have this option added to your account.

New triggers for action events

You can now set up event-based triggers for when actions are raised, updated, become overdue or get commented on within specified jobs. So even if staff aren't assigned to the action, or they don't have an Operandio account, they can still get a heads-up on it. These can be set up the same as other event-based triggers - check out the help guide for more information.

Record temperatures via Bluetooth device buttons

We've improved usability for temperature recording via our supported Bluetooth measurement devices, so you can now quickly record temperatures using the button on the probe or thermometer, rather than having to press the "Record temperature" button in Operandio.

Bugfixes

• ✏️ Fixed an issue where notes that were left on nested jobs were not displaying in exported PDFs
• 📍 Fixed a bug where jobs were — depending on schedule settings — being generated for inactive locations 
• 📄 Resolved an issue where nested jobs were not appearing in CSV file exports of jobs

Feedback?

We review and consider all feedback and requests (no matter how big or small!), and are committed to making Operandio easier for both staff on the frontline and those in the office.

Some MASSIVE updates have been added to our platform this month at Operandio! We've been busy working away on giving our users more clarity into what's going on in their business through improved reporting, as well as enhanced usability with app translations.

Reports gets a BIG makeover

You may have noticed the new Reports section has started to roll out across Operandio. This will allow much better visibility across your completed jobs, the status of raised actions and the training status of your staff.

If you haven't already, you can access Reports through the Managers Hub dropdown in the main navigation bar.

We'll be continuing to make further updates and add features to this section, including flexible charts, new download and exporting functionality, as well as reporting for those using sensor hardware. Watch this 10-minute overview to see the new reporting area in action:

Translation options are now available

We'll be gradually adding in more translations to get better coverage of the platform over the coming weeks and months. Please get in touch with us if you have a language you would like to see supported within Operandio.

Check out this 3-minute overview for a quick walkthrough:

Catching bugs

A number of bug fixes have also gone live recently.

• 🧑 Fixed a bug where the Location filter within the People section was not filtering correctly
• 📌 Fixed an issue with jobs not remaining pinned when they moved to Awaiting Submission status
• 🚩 When an action was raised from a job step, tags applied to the action were not being saved - this has now been resolved
• 🌡️ We've had some reports that some users were unable to enter a negative number into the number input field on a mobile device (such as a negative temperature). A button to switch between negative and positive numbers should now be visible on all devices as shown below:

This week sees a new PDF viewer rolled out on kiosk and mobile devices, the Satisfaction response type, plus a number of small improvements and bugfixes to enhance your Operandio experience.

New PDF viewer

Downloaded PDFs can now be viewed directly within the Operandio app via a new built-in PDF reader which makes it easier and faster to view job reports without having to leave the app. There is support for both vertical and horizontal page layouts, searchable table of contents, and of course, you can still share or email the downloaded files if needed.

Satisfaction response type

The Satisfaction response type has been added to Operandio, which is great for gathering customer feedback and sentiment. You can add this new response type to your jobs in the Job Manager - you'll find it under Buttons when selecting the response type for a step. 

A number of quick improvements...

1. The amount of completed steps within a job section will now show when the section is collapsed, so it's easier at a glance to tell how each job section is tracking
2. Previously, skipping a nested process meant the nested steps within it were hidden away. These can now be accessed, even if they're skipped
3. Once training articles are "marked complete", you're now automatically moved to the next article in the module to help speed up the training process
4. The kiosk login screen will now automatically update staff name and photo changes, and also remove users from the "recent logins" section that are no longer in the staff list
5. To make it quicker for other staff to login, the kiosk PIN pad will reset after 15 seconds if a user doesn't login
6. Managers can now search by email address and attributes in the People section of Operandio

...and a host of bug fixes

• 🗑️ Fixed an error that would occur when deleting multiple posts in the Comms Hub
• 🏷️ Fixed some permission errors that would sometimes pop up when deleting labels
• 🔍 Fixed an issue with search results not linking correctly through to relevant jobs and posts
• ↩️ Operandio was crashing on certain Lenovo tablets when the tablet was rotated - this has now been resolved
• 📜 Fixed an error that would prevent scrolling when writing a Comms Hub post

Feedback?

We review and consider all feedback and requests (no matter how big or small!), and are committed to making Operandio easier for both staff on the frontline and those in the office.

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. 

There's been a fair bit of "behind the scenes" work happening recently, with a couple of new integrations to allow better syncing between Operandio and external staff management platforms.

Ento and OPMS Integrations

Operandio now offers integrations with Ento (part of Humanforce) and OPMS to allow for easy staff management, rostering and syncing between platforms. There's a little bit of setup involved with both of these, so if you're looking to integrate either of them with your Operandio account, please get in touch with us at support@operandio.com to get the ball rolling.

Training module completion triggers

You can now trigger notifications when individual training modules are completed by staff. This is great if you're wanting to stay updated on completion of a specific part of your training course. You can create triggers for training modules in the same way as you create any other event-based trigger - see the help article on creating triggers for more detail.

A couple of bug fixes...

1. 🗑️ We've fixed some permissions problems that were cropping up when trying to delete Knowledge Base articles and categories. 
2. 💼 Fixed an issue that was occurring when copying job templates with nested steps from the template library
3. 📄 CSV downloads in the People area now include users' accreditation status

Feedback?

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.

This month's update brings some much-requested extra functionality for Actions, a small Comms Hub update, and a new section for permissions management.

Default assignees for actions raised on jobs

Comms Hub post summaries

When creating Comms Hub posts, it can sometimes be tricky to gauge how many staff your message is going out to. To fix this, we've added in a small summary to the Comms Hub that shows when you're creating a post. This will display how many staff will receive your post, how many locations you're posting to, any actions required from staff, and also give you a nudge if you're targeting a large number of people at several locations. 

Permission levels area

Make sure you're up to date

⚡️ Version 1.1.6 of the Operandio app has just been released with some Bluetooth enhancements and bug fixes. Get the updated version at the App Store or Google Play.
