Release Notes: June 2022

SafetyChain is excited to announce details of our monthly release for the month of June

This month was about improving efficiency for users in the system. There are high impact speed improvements and new features to help reduce the work for operators on the floor.

Top 5 Highlights

Video links included in the titles!

• Speed Improvements: Significant performance improvements in the Inbox module, Forms Processing in iOS Mobile devices, Spreadsheet Essential View, Dashboard Builder, and Report Builder. The Spreadsheet Essential view is 10X faster!! Take it for a spin!! More performance updates to follow in the coming months.

• Reducing Duplicate Work: Users will now be alerted if they try to complete a saved form that was already completed on a different device. Video here.

• Pre-Defined Values in Dynamic Flow: Dynamic Flow allows users to trigger a task based on certain data conditions in a submitted form. Currently, users can carry over values from the first form into the second. With this update, users can also predefine values in the target form - reducing manual data entry and associated errors. Video here.

• More Details in Case Reports: Case Reports now include more details so anyone reviewing the report has all the context they need from the Cases details page. The new fields include: Start Date, Completed Date, Source, Event Date, Sub Category, Total Cost and Target Due Date. Video here.

• OEE Loss Reason Configuration: When assigning Reasons to an OEE Event, the Reasons are now dependent on the Source the user has chosen. Only Reasons that are linked to Sources can be assigned to an OEE Event. Any Reasons that have not been linked to a Source will no longer be selectable after this release. Video here.
