Active Users in Order

The system will launch a feature for all tenants to track active users viewing the same job on the web admin portal in real time. It displays user names when active and removes them when inactive. Access this feature on the top blue bar of the project details page in both old and new project layouts.

Technician Category / Skills

To enhance control over the technicians group by work category and skills, the system adds two dynamic dropdown fields—User Category and User Skills—on User Management → User details. Tenants can define values and assign them to their teams as needed.

image-20260206-092154.png

 

These values appear on Technician cards in Calendar and Scheduler under the technician's name.


image-20260206-093102.png

They also appear with the Sorting option to manage the technicians list as needed.

The additional global filter options let users filter technicians by category and skills, enabling job assignments based on these criteria.

 

image-20260206-092337.png

For the reporting purpose, these new fields would be exposed to the widgets as well under the User Details table.

    image-20260206-090545.png
  • All the new fields are available in widget configuration as well

Service Time Consumption (%) in Technician Profiles

We’ve introduced a new field called Service Time Consumption (%) in
Admin → User Management → Add/Edit User.

This value indicates how fast or slow a technician performs work compared to your standard service time.

Default for all existing users: 100%


releaseNotes01.png

 


Allowed Range: 1% – 200%

  • Below 100% → Lesser time consumption (Technician works faster)

  • 100% → Standard time consumption

  • Above 100% → Technician consumes more time


How It Affects Job Duration

This feature is active only when your company’s Service Time Setting is configured as Item Coverage.

When enabled, the system recalculates the job duration based on each assigned technician’s Service Time Consumption (%) against each labor item the technician is assigned to.

Examples

  • Base Time: 300 min

    • Technician at 60% → 180 min

    • Technician at 160% → 480 min


When Job Duration Updates Automatically

The Job duration will update whenever:

  • Scheduling a project from the Scheduler

  • Manual scheduling using the Schedule Info tab

  • Using Online Scheduling

  • Using Customer Scheduling

  • Technicians are added or removed from Individual Project Items

  • Labor Items are added or removed

As the service time for each item will adjust accordingly.


New UI Indicators

If the recalculated service time differs from the original standard time, the UI will display an Info icon, on hover of which, a tooltip will display:

  • Original Total Service Time

  • Current Total Service Time

  • Service Time Consumption (%) for all assigned technicians

This helps you clearly understand how technician efficiency affects the total service time for that item.

image-20260205-115416.png

 

Dynamic Dropdown - Client Source, Opportunity source, Opportunity Status, Project Status

ProjectsForce 360* is gradually converting all core dropdowns in the system into dynamic dropdowns, allowing tenants and authorized users to add, modify, or delete dropdown values.

Some values will be non-editable as they are mandatory and default from an operational perspective.

The upcoming release will make Client Source, Opportunity Source, Opportunity Status, and Project Status dynamic dropdowns. (Project Type and Project Category will be added in future releases)

Users with permission to modify each dropdown will see a new icon next to the field; clicking it opens a pop-up to manage values.

image-20260206-102905.png

 


image-20260206-102845.png

If a user deletes a value, the system marks it as soft deleted. If the value associates with any record, the system highlights it in red. Once a new value updates the record, the deleted value removes from the list.

image-20260206-103007.png
image-20260206-103056.png

 


Scheduler - Coverage Based Technicians

Currently, the technicians list on Scheduler is based on matching the job clicked in the RTS table to the technician’s job coverage. Technicians without defined coverage are also eligible for all work and being shown in the list.

To improve accuracy, we added a new configuration option called Scheduler – Coverage Based located at:
Admin → Configuration → Additional Features → Scheduling & Assignment → Scheduler

This option is disabled by default.

image-20260205-115112.png

 


What This Feature Does

When Scheduler – Coverage Based is enabled, the Scheduler will display only those technicians who have the required job coverage defined for the selected project.

This applies when:

  • You double‑click a project from Scheduler → Ready to Schedule Report, or

  • You open the Scheduler directly from a project page


User Control in the Scheduler

When this configuration is enabled at the company level:

  • A toggle button is available on the Scheduler page, allowing users to enable or disable this feature for their own view.


  • image-20260205-115132.png

Inventory Management Preview

The system will roll out an enhancement for items with inventory enabled. Hovering over the small Inventory icon on Project Items will display a quick preview of all adjustments, dates, warehouse details, and the quantity of that item. Clicking the icon will open the full Inventory Management module to perform transactions like existing functionality. This change reduces unnecessary steps, allowing users to preview details by hovering instead of opening the entire module.

image-20260206-091516.png

 

Source Category on Calendar Cards

Under Company Configuration → Scheduler configuration, the system will add a new optional Source Category. If the tenant admin selects it, they can see the Source Category field on Calendar job cards. By default, it is not selected for any tenant.

Send Signature Document URL Via Email as well

Similar to SMS functionality, the system will roll out a feature for project documents marked eligible for Signature. Users can send the signature URL to customers via email, allowing them to access the document and provide consent easily. Once signed, the email icon turns green, and a green pen appears on the document to indicate the signature is captured. The customer also receives a copy of the signed document.

image-20260206-091206.png

 

Project Document / Photos as an email attachment

The system will roll out a feature allowing direct attachment of project documents or photos to emails sent to customers from the project. This eliminates the need to download files locally and then re-upload them.

To access this feature:

  • Select the required documents or photos in a project and click the Compose Email button. This redirects to the email tab with the selected files attached. Then, type the message and send.

  • Go to Communication → Email tab under the project, click Attach Photos and Docs, preview available or uploaded files, and select those to send to the customer or another email address.

Assign Technician on Product Items

Similar to the assignment of technicians on Labor Items, now user can also assign technicians on product items as well.

To enable this, tenant has to enable the new permission under Company Configuration → Scheduling Assignment as Assign Technician to Product Item.

For the tenants who has enabled this company permission, additional permissions are added for their users with role based permission under Projects as Assign Technician on Product Item and Product Technician Visibility Controls to control the assignments on specific line items.

 

image-20260206-075439.png

Similarly technicians can now see their assigned line items on mobile devices as well with the item description and quantity based on their allocations

Phone # / Email Pop Up When Sending Email / SMS

To override the default behavior of always using the primary email or SMS, the system will introduce a new feature across the application (CRM modules and Projects). When sending SMS or emails, users will see the contact's name and all associated numbers, allowing them to select which to use. Users can also enter any number manually to send communication if needed.

image-20260206-104002.png
image-20260206-104053.png


 

New Column in Widgets : Left Message Log

The system provides various stages for the Left Message quick action button, user finds its difficult to report when a job moves from Left Message 1 to Left Message 2 and further.

The system adds a new field to the widgets Project table named Left Message Log, capturing the timestamp when any left message event triggers. This enables use of the new columns in report filters to consider or exclude jobs as needed.

Fixes for Pin Input Box

Minor fixes would be rolled out to improve the user experience when typing or updating the 4-digit PIN.

Web & Mobile - Permission Driven Login

ProjectsForce 360* is adding few new columns under the user management listing page as Admin Web Portal, Field Mobile App, Inventory Mobile App to specifically control or monitor the usage of ProjectsForce application. Unauthorised users would get a message while they try to access the web or mobile apps.

Note: Logged User on web portal, cannot change his current role permission of Admin Web Portal

EPA Details Enhancements

The system will fix EPA Details tenant-level or project-level configuration to include dependent fields based on the selected value. This change prevents failures when calling Source APIs.

Introducing the Next Evolution of ProjectsForce 360

Modern UI Rollout Begins February 8

At ProjectsForce 360, we believe great software is never static. It should evolve alongside your business, continuously improving how you work, how you see your data, and how efficiently your teams operate.

On February 8, we are introducing a new modern user interface designed to elevate usability, clarity, and performance across the platform while laying the groundwork for future innovation.


A Thoughtful Transition Built Around You

We recognize that change is best adopted when users have time to adjust. With that in mind, this release will follow a phased transition approach:

  • February 8: The new modern UI becomes available as an optional experience
  • A toggle button will be visible within the application, allowing you to switch between:
    • The new Modern View
    • The existing Classic View
  • 30-day transition period: You can move between views at your own pace

After the 30-day transition window:

  • The Classic View will be retired
  • All users will be fully transitioned to the new Modern UI

This approach ensures continuity, minimizes disruption, and gives your teams time to explore and adopt the updated experience with confidence.


Why We’re Making This Change

This UI update is not just a visual refresh. It represents a strategic investment in:

  • A cleaner, more intuitive navigation experience
  • Stronger consistency across the entire platform
  • Improved data visibility and interaction
  • A modern foundation that enables faster feature delivery moving forward

Most importantly, it reflects our commitment to ensuring that the platform you’ve invested in continues to move forward and never feels stagnant.

 

What to Expect Next

During the transition period, we encourage users to explore the Modern View and begin incorporating it into daily workflows. Additional enhancements will continue to build on this new foundation in upcoming releases.

As always, your feedback matters. This evolution is driven by our customers, and we remain fully committed to delivering a platform that grows with your business.

Thank you for partnering with ProjectsForce 360. We’re excited about what’s ahead.

Technician Recommendation & Route Optimisation

ProjectsForce is releasing a new feature to automate scheduling by recommending the best technician for each job. It also helps the scheduling team view and optimize technician routes to minimize travel and maximize job coverage. To get this feature enabled, please reach out to our support team.

For technician recommendations, a new icon will appear on the RTS table. Clicking it displays technician recommendations based on job assignment coverage, including work schedule, job coverage, rotation %, service time, and capacity.

image-20251219-080141.png

The system recommends the best available technician and time slots. This ensures optimal selection based on technician availability without disrupting the existing workflow.

image-20251219-080307.png

For scheduled jobs, we will add a new icon next to each technician on the calendar. This icon opens a routing screen showing all the technician's scheduled jobs on the map with arrival times, calculated from travel distances between start and end locations and each job's service time. The map displays all scheduled jobs and an optimized route using Google's real-time algorithm. Users can rearrange jobs by dragging and dropping or add more jobs from available unassigned tasks within the technician's coverage area.

image-20251219-080814.png
image-20251219-080847.png 

Once the user analyzes the optimized sequence and route, they can confirm it in the system. The system will update the job's arrival start and end times on the jobs and, if SMS is configured by the tenant, notify customers of the arrival slots.


CRM Sales KPI Widgets

The system is adding new widget tables, starting with KPI -, to set up multiple CRM widgets for tracking company sales. Company owners can view the turnaround time between two dynamic opportunity statuses, assess sales team performance, and analyze MRR by company size and sources. Using these KPI tables, users can set up the following widgets as needed:

Strategic/Leading Indicator

  1. Client → Opportunity Conversion rate

  2. Opportunity → Quote conversion rate

  3. Quote → Project Conversion rate

  4. Customer Segmentation Visibility

  5. Stage Velocity

Funnel & Pipeline

  1. Lead Volume

  2. Lead to Qualified conversion %

  3. Demo-to-Opportunity Conversion %

  4. Opportunity-to-Close Conversion % (Win Rate)

  5. Pipeline Value by Stage

Sales Efficiency

  1. Average Deal Cycle Length

  2. Average Deal Size Based on Company Size (ACV / MRR)

  3. Contact-to-Opportunity Rate

Revenue & Forecasting

  1. New ARR / MRR

  2. Revenue by Segment

  3. Revenue by Channel

  4. Open Quotes $ Value

Retention & Expansion

  1. Churn Rate %

CRM : Qualified / Unqualified Feature

To segregate genuine Opportunities, the system will add a toggle labeled Qualified, to each CRM Opportunity (off by default). Once the salesperson or Opportunity owner contacts and validates the customer, they can enable this toggle, which records the user, date, and time.

Once marked qualified, an opportunity cannot be reverted.

This flag will appear on the listing page and in widgets (Projects and Opportunity table) for reference and reporting.

Chargeback and Retainage Enhancements

  • Chargeback Clone Feature
    Added the ability to clone the chargeback directly to the system for easy reference, on Project and general chargeback

  • Order-Level Chargeback Flag
    Orders can now be clearly flagged to indicate the presence of an unpaid chargeback with a count on the tab.

  • PO Number for Chargebacks
    Under Admin → User → Retainage Module → User Chargeback, a hyperlinked PO Number can now be added while creating a new chargeback for better traceability.

  • Automated Authorization Number for Chargebacks
    Introduced automation to generate an authorization number (First 3 Letter of Workroom + 4 digits of random number) as Chargeback # and share it with retailers via a retailer note, without requiring manual note entries. (** To enable the feature to send retailer notes to source, please connect with our Support team).

Timeline (Project and Client Based)

ProjectsForce will roll out a new feature called Timeline in two modules, allowing users to view all communication related to a job or client in one place.

Project Based Timeline:

A new permission-driven tab named Timeline, will be added under Project. It will display all communications—SMS, Email, and Notes—grouped by each Related PO of the job, providing a single view for users to see and communicate as needed.

image-20251218-115154.png

A tenant-based configuration, Group POs Under Same Project is added under Project Management & Linkage → Timeline Communication. When selected, the Timeline tab in each project of that tenant displays communications for the same client and project number across different POs. Users can check or uncheck this option at runtime under project to override the default tenant settings.

image-20251218-115005.png
image-20251218-114926.png 

Client Based Timeline

Under each client profile, a new tab named Communication will combine Notes, SMS, and Email. Each tab will display all communications with that client at the client level, CRM (Opportunity, Quote, Invoice), or any Project level.

The system will pull all communications sorted by date, with a reference column showing each communication's linkage.

image-20251218-114419.png

Separate Bio Details for Calendar and Customer Portal

Under user management → user profile, the Bio details field describes a user's professional information. Tenants use this to display on Scheduler cards, and customers see it on the Customer portal. To separate internal technician skill set from customer-facing details, the system will split this into two fields:

Calendar Bio Details and CX Portal Bio. These control what the internal team and end customers see, respectively. The new field appears only if the tenant has enabled the Customer Portal feature and includes a copy icon to transfer content as needed.

image-20251218-131250.png

Show Labor, Product and Linked Items on Template & Document Preview

Like the view users see when opening documents or templates, this view will now appear on the preview screen. Users no longer need to repeatedly click the Edit button to see all required details on the document preview.

image-20251218-131606.png

Project Billing tab Enhancements

The system will enhance the Project Billing tab UI by dividing it into sub-tabs for better user experience and data visibility.

The Payment Requests tab will display all PR details from sources (Lowes / Home Depot).

The Invoices and Bills tab will show invoice and bill details created on Quickbooks by the tenant using ProjectsForce.

Note: CRM-based invoices will appear on a separate tab Invoices. All tabs are permission-controlled; update roles as needed.

image-20251219-083801.png

Global Filters: Assign to Dashboard Checkbox

Under user management → Global Filters, the tenant admin sets default or multiple filters for any company user to control what they see on the scheduler calendar and in global filters. The system will add a new checkbox on the filters listing page labeled Apply To Dashboard, which enforces these filters on the dashboard, limiting data shown on widgets to the user.

image-20251218-132537.png

Bug fix for Auto distribution of Rotation %

The system will exclude inactive users from auto-distribution when allocating rotation percentages and will omit non-technician users (those without Installer View permission) from the Rotation % tab breakdown to prevent confusion.

V IMP : Pin Based Login

We have upgraded the authentication system with Refresh Tokens and a new PIN-based quick login. Below are the key improvements:


1. Modern Session Management (Access + Refresh Tokens)

  • Access Token: short-lived session.

  • Refresh Token: long-lived session (replaces the old, 24-hour auto logout).

  • If refresh token expires or is missing → user must log in with Email + Password.


2. PIN (4digit) for Daily Login

  • Users can set an PIN after password login.

  • PIN is securely stored (hashed).

  • PIN changes/resets require password authentication.


3. Updated Login Scenarios

  • First Login / Refresh Token Expired → Email + Password required.

  • Daily Login (refresh token active)

    • If PIN exists → login via PIN.

    • If PIN not set → login via Password, with a “Remind Me Later” option for 7 days and can be configured at tenant level.

  • 3 Wrong PIN Attempts → PIN blocked → Password required.

  • 3 Wrong Password Attempts → Account locked (admin unlock required).

  • Forgot PIN → Authenticate with Password → Set new PIN from settings.


4. Security & Behaviour Changes

  • OTP revalidation (every X days) removed.

  • PIN works only if refresh token is valid.

  • Password change does NOT auto-reset PIN.

  • Forgot Password resets only the password; PIN remains unchanged unless user chooses to update it.


5. Quick Journey Examples

  • Next-day login with PIN → Enter PIN → Success.

  • Next-day login without PIN → Use Password.

  • Refresh token expired → Password login needed.

  • Wrong PIN ×3 → PIN disabled until password login.


Summary

  • Password = fallback authentication.

  • Refresh Token = primary session key.

  • PIN = fast daily login (valid only while refresh token is active).

  • Strict security thresholds:

    • 3 wrong passwords → lock

    • 3 wrong PINs → PIN disabled until logged in with password

 

New Permission – “Year Built (Modify)

A new permission “Year Built (Modify)” has been added under:
Project → Project Details → Year Built (Modify)

This permission controls the ability to edit the “Year Built” field within the Project module (applicable to both Old and New Project layouts).

  • Users with this permission can modify the Year Built field.

  • Users without this permission will only have view access — they can see the value (if present) against each job but cannot modify it.

  • By default, this permission has been granted to all roles.

This enhancement ensures finer control over project information management and prevents unintended data changes.

Retainage and Chargeback Enhancements

1. Chargeback Handling for “Collect from Retainage”

  • When a Chargeback is marked as Collect from Retainage, it will now be reflected directly on the Retainage screen.

  • Display formula updated:
    Retainage Balance = Total Retainage Amount – Total Chargebacks (Collect from Retainage)

  • This is a display-only update; no database changes will be performed.

2. Retainage Calculation Accuracy (Bug Fix)

  • Incorrect retainage amount display issue has been fixed.

3. Retainage Editing Rules

  • After any payout has been processed, users can only edit the Total Retainage Amount.

  • Negative balances caused when Chargeback > Retainage are automatically handled within the new display logic (covered under Point 1).

4. Chargeback Editing Rules After Payouts

  • If a Chargeback's payout status is open, users can edit only the Chargeback amount.

  • Any adjustment will be applied to:

    • The last payout, or

    • A new payout, depending on the scenario.

5. Technician Deductions

  • Fixed issues preventing users from adding or editing technician-related payment deductions.

6. Applying Chargeback Balance to Retainer

  • Introduced functionality to apply remaining Chargeback balances directly to a retainer.

 

Copy Icon and Note Preview

The system will add a copy-to-clipboard icon next to the Notes description under Project → Communication. For long notes, a pop-hover with a scrollbar will appear, allowing easy reading of the full content sent by the other users.

 

Site Address Field Enhancement

To improve accuracy and clarity in address entry, the Site Address field has been redesigned and broken into multiple structured fields, similar to the Client Billing Address.

What’s New

  • Site Address is now captured using separate fields:
    Street Address 1, Street Address 2, City, State, Zip Code.

  • Users can now clearly specify apartment numbers, floor details, or additional site information in Street Address 2.

Why This Change

  • Reduces address ambiguity.

  • Improves data consistency across the platform.

  • Makes site-level details more precise for operations and reporting.

Make billing address as Editable

In cases where the client address is pulled from sources or newly created for private businesses, users often need to modify the billing address in the client basic profile, which is currently not allowed. Going forward, users can click the Edit button to modify the address and other client details.

Sort and filter on Site Listing page

In the client profiles' Sites section, where users add multiple site addresses with qualifying names, the system will add search and sort icons to the listing table. This will help users find sites by name, address, modifier, date, and more.

Copy Icons on New Layout

The system will add copy-to-clipboard icons to most fields in the new layout, such as client name, address, customer, and store fields. This allows users to copy data with a single click.

Refunded Jobs on Calendar

Some tenants want to see jobs with Refunded status on Calendar, Scheduler, and Map, while others do not. To address this, the system introduces a tenant-based company configuration to control refunded job visibility.

A new toggle, Show Refunded Jobs, will be added in Admin → Configuration → Scheduling & Assignment → Scheduler → Configure.

This toggle is enabled by default for all tenants, who can adjust it as needed.

Quote & Invoice Custom Layout

Currently, the CRM module (Quote and Invoices) has predefined templates and columns for Item details under Summary, Details Internal, and Details Customer. As an enhancement, the system now allows tenant admins to set custom layouts to display required fields on Quotes and Invoices. Once configured, a new option, Custom Layout, appears under the Send, Preview, and Download buttons. This custom layout, if configured is also the default for customer emails regarding approval and communications.

To configure this, tenants see two new options: Quote Custom Layout and Invoice Custom Layout under Admin → Configuration → Visual Enhancements. Clicking the configure button lets admins view all available options for Quotes and Invoices, selecting columns and their sequence.

Users can configure custom layouts separately for Quotes and Invoices. The Custom Layout option appears when creating new quotes or invoices only after configuration.

 

Rename RTS Follow Up Date

The system will globally rename the project-based RTS Follow Up Date to the generic field Follow Up Date, across the old and new project layouts, existing widgets, and more.

Decline Lead – New Action for Home Depot Jobs

  • Added a new “Decline Lead” action button (permission-based) for all Home Depot jobs.

  • Clicking the button opens a pop-up with:

    • Decline Reason (mandatory)

    • Note (optional) with a “Send to Source” toggle, ON by default

      • If ON → Note is sent to the source and added as a Retailer Note

      • If OFF → Note is added as an Internal Note

  • Upon confirmation, the job status will be updated to Cancelled, and the corresponding rules will be triggered.

Template-to-Project Document Shortcut

You can now create a project document directly from the template card using the new Create Project Doc button. If no edits are needed, simply click the button, preview the document, and confirm—no more navigating to the document screen.
The original conversion flow remains available.
Note: The button is hidden for templates that require signatures

Expose Columns on Widgets

  • Invoice all important columns to Project and Invoice table

  • Photo Category to Project Table

  • Site Name, Address and Contact to Project Table

  • Client contact details on Leads Table

 

Timezone Changes

To maintain consistency throughout the application and synchronize the timezone with the client timezone in their company profile, each release gradually corrects this. This release covers the following modules:

1. Admin: Warehouse, Labor profiles, Stores modules

2. Admin: dashboards, widgets, document center modules

3. Admin: Event logs, configuration, checklist modules

4. Project: Add Client Module

Bug Fixes

EPA Lead Details Handling

  • Enhanced handling for Lowe’s jobs where EPA Lead Test Response Reason = Presumed Lead.
    The system now correctly processes scenarios where certain EPA-related fields selected as N/A.

Personalized Project Number Retention Issue

  • A bug will be fixed where the system retained a personalized project number on the browser tab, even when the job was not created.

  • The discrepancy between Invoice Details and the Invoice Listing page due dates will be resolved.

Project Notes Sorting

  • Project notes are now correctly sorted by Created At (latest on top) for improved readability.

Client Creation Without Email

  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to create a client without an email address.

  • Added an asterisk to the Phone Number field to indicate it is mandatory.

Additional Fields Tab – New Layout

  • A bug will be fixed where the Additional Fields tab in the new project layout could not be modified.

Excessive OTP Emails

  • Issue identified where OTP emails were being triggered every time a mobile user logged in via email & password. A fix will be applied to prevent unnecessary OTP notifications.

      Special Note on the change for Signature Icon Behaviour for Mobile

      The signature icon looks the same on both Android and iOS, but the actions differ slightly: 

      On iOS:

      • The signature pad will appear.

      Until the message gets delivered, user can also modify the message as required. This feature is available only in the Online mode.

      Existing permissions would be used under the Project Details → Communications → SMS to control the feature visibility on web and mobile both.

      Important Change in User Experience For SMS History on Web

      To enhance the user experience, the SMS history under the Project Details → Communications → SMS would be changed to give user a new experience to see all the messages being sent by the user properly aligned on the right side of the window and all other communications being done by other users or end customers on the left side and sorted by the timeframe. This is now kept in Sync with the new feature rolled out on mobile.

      New Feature : Scheduler - Horizontal View

      For the better visibility and operations, system is releasing a new tab under the Scheduler and Calendar as Horizontal View, this would show the technicians names horizontally and giving more visibility on the wider screen to view the assignments and easily assign or reassign the jobs across the technicians.

      2. If all the child jobs are finance reviewed  (totally 100% allocated), then it should automatically reflect and mark parent job as "Finance Reviewed" in project item tab.

      3. For all the child jobs (totally not 100% allocated) , if marked as Finance Reviewed, will not mark the parent job as Finance Reviewed automatically and a warning message will appear if user try to click on checkbox for the child jobs as "This line item is not assigned for 100% allocation; you are marking it as Finance Reviewed, Do you want to make it Finance Reviewed for parent item also?", user can choose any of out of below 2 options .

        1. If user clicks on "Ok" button , then parent will also be marked as Finance Reviewed.

        2. If user click on "Cancel" icon, the parent will remain as is and the child job will be marked as Finance Reviewed.

      4. If any technician is Finance Reviewed for the assigned job , then 

        1. While deleting it from schedule Info tab, then finance reviewed would get reset based on item level after the confirmation on the warning message.

          1. Single technician , then "Finance Reviewed" will be unchecked from parent line item

          2. Multiple Technician , then parent will remain as is in Finance Reviewed, only if all other technicians are finance reviewed.

      5. User can uncheck parent or child level Finance reviewed (Until it is being marked as PAID) after providing the confirmation on the pop up: "Please confirm if you would like to uncheck the Finance Reviewed?"

      6. If we uncheck finance review from project item then the same will reflect on Payroll.

      7. If by mistake someone clicked finance reviewed, the same can be reverted back, until the line is paid

      Project Items - Paid Enhancements

      ProjectsForce 360* is making an enhancements on the Paid flag present on the Project Items to keep the consistency from Project Items and Payroll reports along with below changes to manage the payroll efficiently:

      1. If all the child jobs are paid (totally 100% allocated), then it should automatically reflect on parent job as PAID in project item tab and should not be editable then.

      2. For all the child jobs (totally not 100% allocated) , if marked as paid, will not mark the parent job as paid automatically and a warning message will appear if user try to click on PAID for the child jobs as "This line item is not assigned for 100% allocation; you are marking it as PAID, Do you want to make it PAID for parent item also?", user can choose any of out of below 2 options .

        1. If user clicks on "Ok" button , then parent will be marked as PAID

        2. If user click on "Cancel" icon, the parent will not be marked as PAID but the child job will be marked as PAID.

          1. Delete button in read only mode in schedule info for the paid technician , and a tooltip with info of why it cannot be deleted.

        2. It should not be deleted from MAP view.

      4. Log time would be shown on Payroll also, as it is currently visible on line items once the job is Paid.

      Push Notifications Visibility Enhancements

      Existing workflow:

      1. Push notifications and pull down notification works on basis of the user level coverage permissions and role based permission about Project → Project Details → Communications →

        1. Email

        2. SMS

        3. Store Notes

        4. Installer Notes

        5. Customer Chats

      2. The other existing permission is used to identify if the user has installer permissions. The installer check is done by using View Installers Permissiosand any user without this is not considered as a non-installer user.

      3. Notification is added to non-installer user based on point 1 basis permission while Technician users are assigned notification only if they are assigned to the specific project.

       

      New Change:

      1. System would add a new permission for pull down menu as User Assigned.

      2. Remove existing dependency on installer permission and use the above-mentioned permission.

      3. For roles which currently have installer special permissions, check if they have User Assigned pull down permission.

        1. If the user doesn’t have pull down menu User Assigned permission, we treat the user as non technician user and show all the notification based on coverage preference and other role permissions.

        2. If the user does have pull down menu User Assigned permission, we treat the user as technician user and only show notification for the projects they are assigned to.

       

      Mobile - Important Change For Child Jobs

      To make the seamless experience for the technicians using the mobile devices, system would rollout a change on mobile devices where in going forward the technicians would not see the child jobs along with that would see the line items of the child jobs under the parent jobs itself as a linked line items for Labor and Product both, similar to web version.

      This enhancement would avoid any accidental changes or data being captured on child which gets override while syncing the child jobs from parent.

      Mobile - Timezone Changes

      Recently a change was done to manage the jobs scheduled date as is for all users irrespective of their local time zone, the same is being now done for all the mobile modules including Scheduling, Time Off etc. This would ensure that the users of the company would see the time based on the time zone defined at the company level and would not change based on their local time zones.

      Bug Fix : Customer Portal Sign Up and Sign In Page Redirection

      System would be fixing the redirection bug on customer portal, where in now end users have to first enter their email Id and if they are signing for the first time would get redirected to the Sign Up page to create their account, Once the account is created and validated going forward for all future attempts they would directly get redirected to Sign In page after entering the email Id.

We are still investigating the root cause of this issue, as it appears to be affecting only some users and not all. While this is not a permanent fix, some affected users have reported that accessing the site using an Incognito window works as expected. This may serve as a temporary workaround while we work toward a final resolution.
