Updates and Feature Enhancements

Inspections & Observations

• We have updated the “inspection action aggregate” email to use “summary corrective action” instead of “question comment.”

• On the “corrective action” form, how the “severities” are displayed will be based on the “added priority value.”

• On the “inspection questions” page, how the “categories” are displayed will be based on the “added priority value” under the “edit template” form.

• Users with “Admin” status can now update the “corrective action reassignment date” to any date before the “requested due date.”

• We have added a “SAM Inspectors” report under “Summary Reports.”

• We have added a “Subgroup” report under “Summary Reports.”

• The date filter has been updated so that the date range will be set at a default of “1 month” for the “SAM Detail Report.”

• The “SAM Detail report” can now be exported from under the “Summary Reports” tab.

• We have created a new tab for “SAM Projects” under the “Summary Reports” tab.

• Within “SAM Summary Reports,” we have added a “safe observations” column in the “data” table. The default “date range” for the “data” table is now set to “1 month” and will not show inactive severities.

• We have restricted the “corrective actions” count to 50, even when the “unsafe observation” count is greater than or equal to 50.

Note: Users can still enter more than 50 “emergencies,” but only 50 “corrective actions” will be generated.

• We have added “Last Inspection Date,” “User Tag,” and “Notes” columns to the “Assigned Inspectors” export.

• A new “LQ” setting has been added to the “SAM inspection.” If enabled, the parent group can be checked or unchecked under the “inspection scope.”

• There is now an “Inspectable” option on the “new/edit group type” form. This provides the ability to search “groups” by using “group type” names.

• A new “LQ” setting has been added to the “SAM inspection” that when enabled or disabled will hide or show the “Items,” “Training,” “Files,” “Follow-up,
  and “Notes” tabs.

• When the child groups do not contain any roster members, a message will appear to remind users that parent group rosters can be used as child group rosters.

Chemical Inventory

• The “chemical inventory import” script has been updated to support the area, “Sub location,” column.

Data Manager

• When a child group is removed from the parent group, that child group’s roster members will also be removed from that parent group.
