Job Management (Connect) - Release 9.40

UAT Release Date: March 2026
Live Release Date: April 2026

We have been enhancing Job Management (Connect) since the last release, adding new features and addressing known issues to improve quality.

Some features may require additional setup by Totalmobile. If needed, reach out to your Account Manager for access details.

These Release Notes cover the following:

What's New

  • Activities Centre

    A new feature has been added to Orders > Order Management. An Activities section has been added to the system, which supports distinct task/activity, complete with associated process steps, scheduling, and reporting capabilities.

  • Safe Digs Functionality

    New features have been added to Orders > Order Management:

    • A Safe Digs tab has been added to the Work Order screen, allowing users to upload and manage Safe Digs documents, with a default 28-day expiry and support for multiple file formats. Users can also indicate if Safe Digs are not required for a specific Work Order.

    • Safe Digs blockers have been introduced to prevent job progression without valid Safe Dig documents. This enhances safety by ensuring work cannot start without verified safe digging plans.

  • Extended Permit / Time Constraints Functionality

    Enhancements have been made to Orders > Order Management > Time Constraints. The Street Manager Permit functionality has been expanded to include a UI indicator for attached permits, configurable tab text, new KPIs for permit dates, and the ability to send permit information to Mobile Working (Mobilise). Additionally, certain permit fields can now be updated from Mobile Working (Mobilise) forms.

  • Sales Invoice Export

    Enhancements have been made to Orders > Sales Invoices with the inclusion of a new export option being added to Sales Invoices. Users can now export all invoice details, including header fields and line items, to a .csv file at any point in the invoice lifecycle.

  • Postcode Filter

    Enhancements have been made to Orders > Order Management to include a postcode filter on the Work Order Search screen, allowing users to locate Work Orders by full or partial postcodes, improving efficiency when managing geographically grouped jobs or regional workloads.

  • Time Constraint KPI Filters

    Enhancements have been made to Orders > Order Management > Time Constraints to allow the KPI filter to support Time constraint times.

  • Order Not To Exceed Functionality

    Enhancements have been made to Orders > Order Management in order to support Work Order - Order Not To Exceed (ONTE) values. This applies a budget limit to planned and actual costs associated with Work Orders, including subcontractor variations.

  • Time Constraints to Subcontractor Orders

    Enhancements have been made to Subcontractor Portal >Time Constraints so information is now provided to Subcontractor Orders. This includes visibility of Time Constraints on Subcontract Orders and new Message Template tokens for outputting Time Constraint data.

  • Additional BARIS Configuration

    Enhancements have been made to Config > Integration > Baris Config. New configuration has been implemented to update priority in the BARIS system. This enhancement aims to improve the prioritisation process and streamline workflow management.

  • Document Name Token

    Enhancements have been made to Config > Message Templates > Report Temp. A document name token for Visit Date has been added with a specific format, which allows for more precise and standardised documentation of visit dates, enhancing record-keeping and reporting capabilities.

  • Additional Message Bus Integration

    A new integration capability has been added to produce outbound API requests from the Connect Message Bus when a Credit Note is created. These improvements are aiming to provide a more comprehensive and user-friendly credit note system.

  • UPRN Fields in the Planning View

    Enhancements have been made to Config > Planning > Planning Views by adding UPRN (Unique Property Reference Number) and Housing Area fields. This enhances the ability to identify and categorise properties within the planning process, improving data accuracy and decision-making.

  • Approved By Field Display

    Enhancements have been made to Materials Management > Purchase Orders so the Purchase Orders (POs) and Subcontract Orders display the Approved By user information. This increases transparency in the approval process and provides better accountability for order authorisations.
