Feature improvements and changes
Dashboard history pods have been improved in several important ways
New history period options have been introduced, including 'This week', 'This month', 'This year' and 'This financial year'
A value is now displayed for every day in a configured history period, from the point at which the pod is first added to the dashboard. Previously there might have been gaps in the data if the workspace view from which the pod is derived was not loaded
Please note that this change will only affect data collection from the time at which your Loc8 system is updated and existing pods with gaps will not be back-filled
Only one value is now displayed per day in a configured history period, which means that the distribution of data across the horizontal / x axis of the chart is consistent and even. For example, if a pod is configured with a history period of 'One week', there will never be more than 7 data points
Where there is no data in a history pod (i.e. future days in a pod configured to display data for 'This month'), the gap will be indicated with a dashed grey line
A quick-actions launch panel is now displayed when first logging in to Loc8
Other minor improvements include
Searched values in most settings spaces are now persisted when opening and closing an inspector
Job ID's now display an orange dot if there are any warnings present against the job
The 'Location address' is now an available column in the asset workspace
The 'Last updated' field on assets is now updated when an asset is moved
The 'Creator' field on jobs generated by a preventative maintenance schedule is now populated with the creator of the schedule itself
The 'Update job priority' automation rule action now includes an 'Update start / due by dates' option that will update the job start and due dates based on any SLAs configured against the selected job priority
It is no longer possible to delete a customer's primary site via the bulk editor
Invoice payment information is now displayed on the invoice HTML web view
