TRAIN Release: July & August 2024
The following is being released into the Train environment on 08/04/2024 for Web & LINK. Please use this time to test these new capabilities in the Train environment and let us know if something doesn't work as expected. More details, including other supporting content & monthly highlights, will be made available via the Live Release Notes in the Improvements Hub on Tuesday, August 6th.
To avoid confusion, and ensure our month-based naming convention remains aligned with the actual calendar, the release notes for July and August have been merged into a single “July & August” Monthly Release.
Barring any critical updates or quality concerns, we intend to release these capabilities and bug fixes into the Live environment on 08/11/2024 for Web & LINK; there are no mobile app releases this month.
July & August Version Numbers
Features Released
Admin
(LINK) Export All Functionality for Users: A new “Export All” functionality has been implemented (in addition to the already existing 'Export” function) in the 'User' module. This newly added functionality will allow the user to export the list of all the existing users in one go, saving them the effort and time of scrolling through various pages and then exporting the data.
Charts
(LINK) Control Limits 'OFF' Functionality: Users will now be able to turn off the "Control Limits" (UCL and LCL), regardless of the "Active SPC Color Bands" being turned on, to better visualize their required metrics.
OEE
(LINK) Simplified Downtime Event Edits: Added a “MODIFY” button to edit Downtime Event duration and to Void Downtime Events from the Event Details section. Previously, users had to open and edit the Start and End Downtime records which often led to errors. This enhancement improves user experience and leads to fewer errors.
(LINK) Simplified Adding New Downtime Events: Added a “Add New Downtime Event” button to easily create a new downtime event. Previously users had to submit Downtime Start and End events. This enhancement decreases the steps required from 28 to 5.
Supplier Compliance
(API) Questionnaire Records Update for RDEA 2.0: Supplier Questionnaires without a location will now be included in the Record Data Extract APIs (RDEA) 2.0 results and can be filtered as needed.
(LINK) Migration Tool Enhancements: We are continuing to improve the migration tool used to move customers to the new Supplier Compliance Management module to ensure a smooth transition. Ready to streamline your supplier onboarding process and simplify the management of your supplier requirements?

(LINK) Edit Requirements Details: Users can now edit additional requirement details after creating a requirement. The new editable fields include:
The approval workgroup: Over time, you may wish to restructure the workgroups you have in SafetyChain. With this enhancement, you can now edit the group responsible for approving each document from Suppliers to match the appropriate work group.
Due in Days: The ‘Due In’ field determines how much time a Supplier has to complete a task before it is considered 'past due'. This field can now be edited to allow for more or less time for all Suppliers who need to complete the requirement.
(LINK) ‘Assigned By’ Displayed in Supplier Compliance: A new 'Assigned By' field has been added to the Supplier Compliance Management pages and filtering, displaying the username of the person who associated the Supplier or item to a requirement. This new column and filter provide an additional way to find requirements needing your approval in LINK.
(LINK) Document Name Displayed in Linked Documents: In addition to showing the Document Folder name, we now also display the Document Name in the Linked Documents section of Supplier Compliance. This provides a deeper level of context on what the document is, especially in cases where the document is not associated with a Document Folder.
(Web/LINK) Create Links When Approving a Document: Whether approving a document in LINK or the Inbox, you can now manage additional links to the document. A document can be linked to any resource, location, or user to create valuable additional relationships, such as if a document applies to multiple items or is only valid for certain locations.
(LINK) New Item Location Filter: Within Supplier Compliance, you can now filter by Item locations as well as Supplier locations. This filter helps to quickly focus in on Suppliers and requirements with items related to a specific location.
Bugs Fixed
(LINK) Resolved an issue on the LIVE environment where the Supplier settings page refreshed after pressing enter in the search box. This fix will now allow users to carry out any relevant search in the menu without refreshing the page.
(LINK) Resolved an issue in Filter Charts where hovering over individual points on the line displayed incorrect information. The correct information is now displayed when the user hovers over any individual point on the line.
Key Updates
Barring any critical updates or quality concerns, we intend to release this into the Live environment on 08/11/2024 for Web & LINK; there are no mobile app releases this month.
