Improvements 

Construction - Offline Inspection Access 

Inspectors can now open and edit inspections from the Construction module without an internet connection, allowing uninterrupted work in the field, even in areas with no service. 

The app automatically detects internet availability and displays a warning when no connection is detected. Regardless of connection status, the user’s full list of inspections will always load. However, viewing or editing an inspection requires either an active internet connection or that the inspection was previously downloaded while the device was online. 

Downloading Inspections (requires internet access) 

A Download button on the Inspection List screen allows users to save multiple inspections at once: 

• If the user has fewer than 50 inspections, the button displays Download All. ● If the user has more than 50 inspections, it shows Download Top 50.

Individual inspections can also be downloaded in two ways: 

• By swiping left or right on an inspection in the list 
• By opening the inspection while the device is connected to the internet 

Once downloaded, the inspection will have a blue checkmark, indicating that the inspection is fully stored on the device and can be opened without internet access. 

Any changes made to inspections while offline are automatically added to a sync queue and will sync to the server as soon as a connection is restored. Additional details about syncing are listed below.

Construction - Sync Button and Last Sync Indicator 

A Sync button showing pending sync count and a timestamp for the last successful sync is now available in the Construction module. 

Sync Behavior: 

• When the device is online: 

○ The Sync button will be disabled, as changes to inspections are automatically synced in real time. Each successful sync updates the Last Sync Time. 

• When the device is offline and changes are pending sync: 

○ The Sync button will turn red and display the number of inspections waiting to sync. These changes are stored locally on the device until connectivity is restored. 

○ Tap on the Sync button to view the Inspections that are awaiting a sync and make updates if needed.

• When connectivity is restored: 

○ Inspections awaiting sync will be synced automatically and the Last Sync Time is updated.

Saved Signature setting 

Users can now add a saved signature so that it can be added when generating a report. 

• When "Always Use Signature" is enabled, the default signature is automatically applied. 
• When disabled, the saved signature can be added using the "Add Default" button. 
• To use a different signature instead of the default, tap the arrow next to the signature field to add a new signature.

Fixed Issues 

Fire - Emergency Contacts 

Fixed an issue where Emergency Contact updates were not saving for Units in the Fire module. 

Inspection Calendar Display Issue 

Fixed an issue where not all inspections were showing on a user’s calendar. The calendar now shows all inspections for the previous 6 months and the upcoming 12 months.
