- Selecting Add Fault in a Job will now create a new data type for Faults allowing for Faults to have their own description and related notes

- Tasks are new! Add and assign non-procedural work items to a Fault
- With the addition of Tasks, we’ve renamed the Job Board to Work and reflected this change in all areas users view or add Work

2.5.1 05/01/2023
In this latest release, we’ve completely revamped the Job interface. Whether you are previewing a Template, executing a Job, or reviewing work completed by other Operators – this new layout will make it easy and efficient to follow the step-by-step instructions of any procedure.
Here’s just some of the changes you’ll find:
- Two view modes, one with full Job details and a scrollable list of steps; the other which focuses on one step at a time and utilizes the full screen for the camera to display AR content
- In both view modes, Step notes such as Images, Videos, PDF Documents, and Text - are much larger and can be swiped through when viewing multiple notes on a Step
- Steps display an AR icon when there are spatially authored Markers and annotations available, and a ‘Switch to AR’ toggle makes it simple for Operators to move between 2D and 3D content with ease
- We’ve conveniently positioned large call to action buttons for completing a Step, navigating to a Sub-Job, and adding evidence or fault notes within thumbs reach
- Users will now be able to assign Jobs to other Operators directly from the iPad (previously only available on the Web application)
Notes:
- We’ve moved access to ‘Author in AR’ to the Templates window - available under Asset Management
- AR Mode has been removed from the main menu
- The in-App Manifest Tutorial has been updated to reflect these recent changes – check it out (under Settings -> About) for a brief tour
