Key Enhancements
Custom Inspections
Submit Inspections on your Desktop!
For situations where your inspectors do not have access to a mobile device or for use cases where a custom inspection form is best submitted from the desktop, you are able to complete any inspection form in the browser.
- Find "Start Inspection" under the Create quick menu or on the Inspection Reports page
- Upload photos and capture notes
- Sign using cursor on the screen
Request Inspections for Delivery Dispatch Events
Now you can add Inspections which you wish to be completed at delivery of an Asset (Itinerary item). Mobile users can either select a submitted Inspection Report or complete a new Inspection to meet the requirement. Completed inspections will appear on the Dispatch under each Asset delivery. Any inspection items that are marked as failed will automatically create maintenance requests and notify the appropriate users (requires Maintenance license to be enabled).
Note: This requires the Safety & Compliance license and Custom Inspection license for any custom Inspection Forms.
Maintenance
Removing a Maintenance Request from a Work Order now resets status to “Pending”
If you've built a Work Order with multiple Maintenance Requests and decide to remove one, the Maintenance Request will automatically revert to a “Pending” status.
This allows for the Maintenance Request to be either declined, resolved, or added to another Work Order.
Example: Mechanic was about to complete a Work Order that included a Maintenance Request for “Replace Battery”. The mechanic realized they need to purchase the battery, so they want to remove that Maintenance Request from the Work Order so they can submit it for approval and take care of the battery tomorrow. Once the maintenance request “Replace Battery” is removed from the work order, it will revert to Pending status, and it will be available to be resolved, denied, or added to another work order.
Preventative Maintenance and Maintenance Requests Grids now include a column for the Asset’s Organization.
Search, filter and export supported.
Resource Management
New! Asset Labels
Use colored asset labels to categorize and identify assets. You can now see and edit Asset Labels from all key pages such as Asset List, Map View, Requests, and others. Also added a new Labels filter for any of your custom labels (up to 10 color-coded labels) in several pages.
Asset Details Page now includes a Schedule view tab
Easily access your asset’s exclusive Schedule conveniently from Asset Details page. This gives great insight into asset activity and what it may be scheduled for in the future.
Leverage the Schedule and all its views (Week view, 2-week Look ahead, Month, Quarter, etc.) within Asset Details. Click on the Schedule tab and change between the Calendar view (legacy) and the Schedule views.

Once the Scheduled Site is chosen, the address of the chosen site will populate in the Scheduled Destination field automatically.
