Release Date: July 2026
We have been enhancing Job Management (Connect) since the last release, adding new features and addressing known issues to improve quality.

-
Multi Compliance - Update compliance for a specific asset compliance schedule
Enhancements have been made to Asset Management > Asset Details.
Multi-compliance schedules now support a Meter Reading field on asset records, with updates available through Job Management (Connect) and the API. Changes to meter readings can automatically update active numeric compliance schedules for the asset, and a new API option supports posting asset meter readings in bulk.
-
Improved version of the Purchase Order Audit for invoicing
Enhancements have been made to Materials Management > Purchase Orders.
The Purchase Order Audit tab has been updated with a revised column order for invoicing activity. Audit entries now present key details such as date and time, user, action, description, and related identifiers in a clearer layout.

Display Visit Dates on Asset Management when Job Codes added to order via Mobile Working (Mobilise)
Enhancements have been made to Visit Management > Visit Details > Job Codes.
Asset Management now displays Visit Details for Job Codes added to an order through Mobile Working (Mobilise) SOR claims. Completed Visit Dates and Visit IDs are shown against the relevant asset Job Code records.
-
Job Code Contract Cost Rate Books
Enhancements have been made to Config > Ratebooks.
Job Codes now support contract-specific Cost Rate Books, including import support for Contract Cost Values. Order charge calculations have been updated to use Contract Cost Rate Book values when calculating expected and contractor-related costs for completed work.
-
Enhanced finance integration support
The financial integration capabilities have been enhanced to support the exchange of additional invoice and invoice line information. New fields are available at both invoice and line-item level, including financial period, posting and approval dates, VAT values, contract details, and additional line identifiers. This update improves the availability of financial data within integrated systems and supports more comprehensive financial processing workflows.
-
Sales Invoicing - move Sales Invoices across batches
Enhancements have been made to Orders > Sales Invoices Dashboard.
Sales invoicing now supports manual invoice batches alongside automatic batch generation. Users can move financially completed orders between eligible open draft batches from the Order Summary screen, while automatic batches continue to generate independently.
-
Improved visibility of Asset Information
Enhancements have been made to Dashboards > Planning Board > Planning View.
Planning views now support additional asset information columns, including Asset Name, Asset Category, Asset Sub-Category, and Asset Type. Asset-related KPI filters have also been expanded, and drilling into multiple assets from a planning view now opens the Assets tab on the Order Summary screen.
-
Enhanced order integration capabilities
Order integration functionality has been enhanced to support the exchange of completed order information with external systems. This update improves interoperability and enables more seamless processing of order data across integrated platforms.
-
Ability to Bulk Update Visit Status
Enhancements have been made to Visits > Visit Management.
Job Management (Connect) now supports the bulk updating of visit statuses, allowing status changes such as moving multiple visits from Planned to Booked in a single action.
-
Added support for configurable default values in token-based message content
A default value can now be configured for supported message content tokens. When a token does not resolve to a value, the configured default is used as a fallback, helping to ensure message content remains complete and consistent.
-
New SMS & Email Message Template
Enhancements have been made to Config > Organisations > Contracts > SMS and Email Configuration.
A new template has been added which is set as an appointment reminder to be delivered 3 days before the Appointment Start Date.
-
New API for Creating Variation Requests
A new API has been added to create and populated variation requests. This supports integration scenarios by enabling requests to be initiated programmatically and processed through the standard approval workflow before downstream processing.
