It has been a very busy Summer 2020 for the Field Squared team. Over the past few months we have been working on improvements as well as enhancements to Platform (Web App and Mobile App) capabilities.
In the latest release, we made improvements to expressions, expanded Time Card reports, enhanced Labor and Job Costing capabilities and added a feature to Android that is now in-line with iOS.
Read on for the juicy details in our latest release notes.
Web App
Updates and enhancements to Field Squared ensure you get the best experience and the most value out of your investment in our award-winning software. In the latest Web App release, we enhanced a few capabilities and made improvements to behind the scenes items. Below are a few highlights.
Inventory
With this release, we added new reporting features for inventory. When reporting on a work order, you can now add related inventory or labor items and report against them. You can also report on all inventory for a group of work orders. For ease of use, this can all be done in Report Builder instead of via Workflow Builder.
Time Cards
If you utilize Time Cards in Field Squared, time card reports now include more granular data to report against. For instance, if you categorize time into "regular hours" and "overtime hours," the report will now display how many hours a user worked by breaking their time out across these two categories. It will also display total hours.
Labor and Job Costing
The latest release includes a few enhancements to labor items. Now you can:
- Limit by day of the week
