Release Details

1. Chat update - Voice messages

• To coincide with the latest back-office release, we have added the voice messages function to the mobile app too
• This will revolutionise the way you can communicate with colleagues, making it easier and more time efficient to get information to the relevant people
• Not only can you record and send high-quality voice messages to individuals, but you can also do so within group chats too by simply clicking the microphone icon to record your message.

• Another addition to the single conversations (not yet available within group chats), is the ‘read’ tick symbol – so if a colleague has read your message and not replied – you'll know!

2. Update to Group Priorities

• Similar to the back office, priorities have had a little makeover on the mobile app too!
• Now, only the priorities set up against the group will be available to choose from, meaning there will be less room for error and choosing the wrong option
• Nothing else has changed, functionality wise – The default priority against the customer/site will still pull down to the job/quote as before and you can carry on as normal!

3. Advanced Mobile feature - Quote updates

• We are adding even more ‘back-office functionality’ on the mobile app this week, with the introduction of ‘Log Related Quote’
• This exciting new addition means a mobile user can work on a visit and log their own further works quote – meaning you can get on with your other tasks!
• Of course, you may not trust everyone to do this themselves, so we have added some new permissions within Settings > Staff to allow you to pick and choose who gets access to this new feature.
