Updates and Feature Enhancements

Inspections & Observations

• For the “client-specific” export, training-related information for the rosters has been excluded for a simpler view report.

• On the “corrective action” form, we have removed the “N/A” option in the “severity level” option list for “SAM inspections.”

• We have improved the performance of the action tags search functionality.

• We introduced a new no-login link to display all open actions based on the user’s role permissions.

• Users can get this link by following

  • DM – Users – User profile – Send CA Link (It will send a no-login CA link to the user’s email).

  • Corrective Actions – Send CA Link – Send Link (It will send a no-login CA link to the user’s email).

  • After completion of an inspection (in “Inspection Action” mail.)

  • After creating an action (in “Inspection Report” mail.)

• Details regarding the no-login “open actions” page:

  • A no-login link is generated with a token – this token will expire within 180 days (this is configurable to another time frame.)

  • When a user hits an expired no-login link, it will show an “expired” message and send a new login link to the user.

  • New Email type created for this CA no-login link – Email Type – CA link notification
    Email variable for CA no-login link – %nologinCAlink%.

  • A new role has been introduced – “SAM Safety Officer” enables the user to view all the open actions from a vendor or company, whichever they belong to.

  • Users who were not assigned this role can only view the open actions which are assigned to them.

  • You can assign this role to the roster while creating a new inspection and also from DM -> Groups -> Edit Group -> Membership.

Chemical Inventory & SDS

• In SDS, we have added an option to add an “External SDS Link.” We already have an option attaching a SDS pdf, so this is an added to that.

• We have updated “SDS Book” and “SDS Book Filter” options with “Owner” dropdown restrictions.

• We have applied SDS to all the catalog entries with the same product number and manufacturer.

Permit Authorizations

• We added “Send Response” and “Send Comments” buttons to the “applicant” and “approver/reviewer” views, respectively. This allows users to send notifications regarding any COFE form comments.

• We added a lq_admin setting to show/hide the trigger email button (“Send Response/Send Comments”) on the “authorization info” page.

• We added a “Response Required” field to the COFE comment form.

• We added the setting “Approve with unaddressed required comments” in edit forms, under the approver section, allowing the approver to approve the form even when the required comments aren’t addressed.

• We added the ability to lock/unlock individual comments.

• We added the ability to add child comments (users will be able to respond to each parent comment.)

• We added a filter for required comments under the “Notes and Comments” tab on the “authorization info” page.

• We added a data_id column to the “Permit Authorization” export.

• We have added an option to clear the value in the “user search” dropdown and respective “auto reference” values in COFE forms.

Data Manager

• We added “Help” text to “assigned date” under the “receive package” form.

• We added a “Location Type” filter for OSHA 300, OSHA 300 Privacy Cases, and OSHA300A log exports under the Data Manager’s “Export” tab (only for client-specific).

• We added “Group Classification” to “Group Types” in Data Manager.

• We added a setting at the “Group Classification” level to make all groups under that classification level either inspectable or non-inspectable. Added lq_admin setting to enable/disable this feature whenever necessary.

• We added “Group Membership” and “Inspection Roster” label options under “Group Classification > Edit.” These labels can be updated on the group info page.

Integration and API Updates

• Now department details are also added via client-specific user data integration.

Other Updates

• Time Zone offsets are now changed to “UTC Date.”

• We added a “Administrator User Guide” menu under the “Administrator” category, which is only visible to users with an “Administrator” role.

• Now “Location Type” can also be inserted via client-specific Incident import functionality.

• We provided a link to upload the “client-specific Incident Cost Sheet” in .csv format so that it will support large data files. An email will be sent once the import is successful.

• We added a new import option for client-specific to update incident osha_300_log_injury_or_illness_classification  based on  the corvel_case_number.
