Geolocation Updates Made Easier

Wednesday 2nd December, 2020
Release Identifier: 20201202

To make map locations easier to work with on the Apple and Android clients, users can now update the geolocation by tapping directly on the map, rather than on the pin. The back button can be used to reset locations.

Form exports (in the web-app) now support images related to the forms. Requests can be filtered on their user and requests can be copied.


Form Avatars and Bulk Request Imports

Wednesday 18th November, 2020
Release Identifier: 20201118

To help distinguish between your forms, they now have an icon, or avatar, in the web-app. The icon defaults to the form initials and a custom icon can also be set via the Form editor.

Bulk imports of Requests are now supported.


Embed Images in Forms and Excel Dates

Wednesday 4th November, 2020
Release Identifier: 20201104

Forms now allow you to add a photo or diagram to the form itself, allowing a photograph or a diagram to be used as instructions or for reference by your workers in the field while they are filling in the form.

The date/time fields in exports now support both the ISO standard date and an Excel style date, to ensure Excel is able to import the date and time fields. If you have import software that supports the ISO standard date (which contains the time zone data) then it can continue to use the ISO date.


Better Photo Viewing

Wednesday 21st October, 2020
Release Identifier: 20201021

Viewing an unloaded photo at full size is now possible directly from the Media and Form tabs on the Web (Admin) interface.

Android Mobile App now explains why access to the location while in the background is required. This is a Google requirement. For more on the Gruntify use of GPS location data, read our article Manage Your Field Workers Efficiently With GPS Tracking.
