What’s New? ✨
Before publishing a new project template you can now send the template through an approval workflow to ensure that head contractor project admins have the opportunity to approve templates before being published to the project template library.

    Approval workflows enforce a review process, ensuring that project templates meet the required standards before being published.
  • Reduces Errors:
    Reviewers can catch and correct mistakes, ensuring the template is accurate and complete.
  • Enhances Collaboration:
    The approval process fosters collaboration among team members. It allows for feedback and suggestions, which can improve the overall quality of the template.
Key Updates:
1. A new workflow to review templates before publishing
  • Project templates can now be submitted for review to head contractor project admins before publishing on the project
  • Reviewers can proceed to approve and publish the template or alternatively request changes before approving the template for use on the project.

Simplify your location tree by hiding empty locations
Location trees that map your entire project can sometimes result in a length list of locations. Hiding your empty locations allows you to condense your list to only locations that have Visis related to you.
Simply click on the button on your web or mobile that says "Hide empty" and you're good to go.

🎉 What's NEW
Now it's easier than ever to create templates for multiple locations! We've listened to your feedback and revamped how you choose locations for your Visis templates.
👀 Why does it matter
We get it – the old way of selecting locations was a bit of a headache. But guess what? We've completely reimagined it based on your input. Here's what's different:
Search Locations
No more endless scrolling! Just type in what you're looking for in the search bar, and we'll show you all the matching locations. It's like magic!
Location Search
Select all children locations
Say goodbye to tedious clicking. With the 'Select children' button, you can choose all the child locations in one go. And if you change your mind, just hit 'Unselect children' – easy peasy!
Select Children
Easier location selection understanding
We've spruced up the layout on the right-hand side so you can see exactly where your Visis will be going. It's all about giving you a crystal-clear view of your selections.
Hey Visibuilders 🏗️✨,
What's New?
You can now create Visis from template in the checklist of a previously created Inspection 🎉
Why Does It Matter?
This enhancement comes in response to your valuable feedback. We understand that certain situations call for flexibility when it comes to creating Visis. For instance:
  • When you have an ITP (Inspection and Test Plan) where the number of ITCs (Inspection and Test Checklists) needed may vary.
  • When there's a specific template for task, issue or NCR Visis that you want to integrate into an existing inspection.
How Does It Work?
It's as easy as hitting the plus checklist button on the web app.
image
Now, simply select your desired Visi type, template and locations to add Visis from template into your existing inspection checklist.
