Filtering Plans by Time (June 2022)

Plans___Demo_Project_-_Residential.png

Your plans can now be filtered by Time! In this case, Time means when plans were added, modified (new version or new markups), as well as the date range which works exactly the same as the date range in our task filters. This will allow you to coordinate more easily with the Plan Update Notification you receive whenever a plan is updated the previous day.

_40___Install_card_reader_Room_709___Demo_Project_-_Electrical.pngCustom Task Attributes (CTAs) allow Business tier users to add attributes to track project-specific data and disable unneeded attributes. They allow users to customize their tasks to track project-specific information, whether it’s estimated man-hours vs actual man-hours, task completion percentage, or something entirely different. Project Admins can create and edit Custom Task Attributes under the Project Settings tab.

Custom Task Attributes can now be used when filtering tasks! This will help you narrow down your tasks to information that's specific to the CTA. To do so, you'll navigate to the Tasks tab, and click on the "Filter tasks" button. From there, you'll notice that any Custom Task Attribute that is toggled "on" will show up as an option by which to filter tasks.

Update 6/7/2022: Project admins can add a "Total" row to Form tables to quickly sum or average table values input by assignees and contributors. Form contributors will see the calculations dynamically update based on their inputs as they fill out their forms in the field.

Form Assignees are now able to receive email and in-app notifications when a due date set on a Form is 48 hours away. In order for the Form Assignee to receive the email and in-app notifications, the form must have an ‘Assignee’, a ‘Due Date’, and be in the ‘Draft’ or another ‘Editable’ status. If the assignee is set up to receive email and in-app notifications, they will receive the due date notification at 5 am, 2 days before the due date.
