Connect Physical Items to Better-Structured Digital Records

These enhancements improve Catalog functionality, making it easier to configure, manage, and access information about operational assets.

Updates include:

• QR code generation for Catalog items
• QR code scanning with account-switching support
• Barcode support and barcode reader integration
• Improved Catalog item ID printing and scanning
• Stronger Catalog Designer validation
• Enhanced deletion handling for Catalog elements

Administrators can generate and print an identifier for a Catalog item and attach it to the corresponding asset. When a user scans the QR code or barcode, 1st Reporting identifies the linked item and directs the user to its digital record.

The Catalog Designer improvements also provide clearer validation when configuring fields and structures. Enhanced deletion handling gives administrators better feedback when removing Catalog elements that are no longer required.

Together, these enhancements create a more direct and dependable workflow:

1. Configure the Catalog and its data structure.
2. Generate and print an identifier.
3. Attach it to the physical item.
4. Scan the code to access its record.
5. Continue with the required report, inspection, or maintenance process.

Navigate Documents and Monitor Expiration Status

Updates include:

• Improved folder sizing and presentation
• Breadcrumb navigation
• A new expiration-status column
• A redesigned grid view for expired documents
• General Handbook interface improvements

Breadcrumbs display the user’s current position within the Handbook folder structure. Instead of navigating back through multiple screens, users can see the folder hierarchy and return to a previous level more easily.

The expiration-status column makes document status visible directly from the list. Expired documents also have a distinct appearance in the grid view, allowing administrators to identify content that may require review, renewal, or replacement.

A Modernized Interface for User Administration

The User Manager has been updated with a modernized interface that improves the presentation of user information and creates a more consistent administrative experience.

The refreshed layout helps administrators review and manage platform users more efficiently, particularly in accounts with multiple teams, departments, locations, or operational roles.

Review and Filter Templates More Efficiently

Updates include:

• A new table view for Template lists
• Standardized filter boxes
• More consistent Template navigation

The table view organizes Template information into a structured layout, making it easier for administrators to scan and compare multiple Templates.

Standardized filter boxes provide a more consistent way to narrow results across the platform. This is especially useful for organizations managing a large Template library across different departments, locations, or business processes.
