Version 2.5.7 (Android Tablet)

Software Release (Version 2.5.7)


Key Updates

Some of our major updates include:
  1. UPDATED Inspection and Condition Assessment User Interface: The Inspection and Condition Assessment modules have been redesigned to show higher contrast between different tabs. Asset information has also been moved to improve visibility. The status indicator has also been adjusted to show a status breadcrumb.
  1. UPDATED Wildcard Search When Adding Items to WOs: Users will now be able to use the “%” sign to use multiple terms when trying to add items to WOs. Terms used with the wildcard operator “%” can be in any order. (Ex. To find any items with the words tool and pump in their name, type in “tool%pump”, regardless of the order in which these terms appear in an item name, the list will show all items with the words tool and pump in its name.)
  1. NEW Complete Flushing Assets from Map: Users will now be able to mark assets as complete directly from the map when working on flushing Work Orders. No need to remember the order of the assets on your list!
  1. NEW Collapsable Inspection Zones: Inspection Zones will now be collapsable on tablet devices. Tap the arrow to expand/hide a zone. Only expand the fields you are currently working on.
  1. NEW Sub-statuses for Condition Assessments and Inspections: Condition Assessments and Inspections will now contain a sub-status feature. Users will now see a status breadcrumb similar to the breadcrumb shown on the NEXGEN web application.

Read on below to learn about ALL our new features and improvements by module and feature. 

Condition Assessment 

  1. UPDATED Condition Assessment User Interface: The Condition Assessment module has been redesigned to show higher contrast between different tabs. Asset information has also been moved to improve visibility and the status indicator has been adjusted to show a status breadcrumb.
  1. UPDATED Add attachments per CA line item: Users can now add attachments per line item in the Condition Assessment module in addition to comments. Instead of adding attachments to the CA record overall, users can add attachments per condition to better evaluate an assets current CA score.
  1. NEW Sub-statuses for Condition Assessments: Condition Assessments will now contain a sub-status feature where custom statuses can be created to operate as NEXGEN’s standard statuses (New, Open, Hold, Complete, Cancel, Close). 

Inspections

  1. NEW Add Attachments and Comments Per Field: Users can now add attachments and comments per inspection field. When filling out an inspection form, instead of adding comments and attachments to the attachments/comments zones as a whole, users can add comments per field. No need to have a separate "comment" box on all your inspections!
  1. NEW Conditional fields for Inspections: Conditional fields are now available in the Inspections module. These fields will only show up when certain options in the preceding field are selected.
  1. NEW Default Options for AutoComplete, DropDown, and ListBox Field Types: When configuring inspection fields, users can now designate a default option for DropDowns, ListBoxes, and AutoComplete field types. Create a default option of N/A or Blank, to help your end-users identify what needs to be entered.
  1. UPDATED Mandatory Fields Per Status on Inspections: Users can create mandatory fields per status for inspections. Make certain fields mandatory before closure or before changing to a new status.
  2. NEW Sub-statuses for Inspections: Inspections will now contain a sub-status feature where custom statuses can be created to operate as NEXGEN’s standard statuses (New, Open, Hold, Complete, Cancel, Close). 

Service Requests

  1. NEW Service Request represented as polygons for Dig Alert/811 Integrations: Service requests can now be represented as polygons on the map for NEXGEN Dig Alert/811 integrations. With a few edits to your existing integration, users will be able to see the actual polygon in NEXGEN. Please reach out to our support team at support@nexgenam.com if you are interested in this feature.

Timesheet

  1. NEW Time-off Now Linked to Timesheet: Time-off periods entered in the employee “Time-Off” zone will now link to the Timesheet module. No need to enter your time-off in multiple places. Designate your time-off from your employee profile when you know your time-off is scheduled and it will automatically appear in your timesheet.


Work Order 

  1. NEW Asset Coordinates in Work Order History: Users can now save GIS asset coordinates on WOs to keep track of the specific location of an asset. Asset coordinates are saved only on the WO and can be used to help users find the specific location of an asset when completing work over a number of days.
  1. NEW Add Crew Types to Crews in Work Orders: Previously, users could assign a Crew, but not a Crew type. Now users can assign a Crew Type to a Crew.
  1. NEW Add Supervisor Types to Work Orders: Previously, users could assign a specific supervisor to a WO but not a Supervisor Type. This enhancement allows users to assign a Supervisor Type to Work Order to help when managing workloads and when creating/maintaining PM/PdMs.

Other Improvements

  1. NEW (ANDROID TABLET ONLY) Rotate Images After Attaching: Users can now rotate images after their initial upload. Simply select the image and click the rotate option.
