We're always improving the Pinpoint Works web and native mobile apps (iOS and Android) for new features, existing feature improvements, security updates, and bug fixes. The web app will be updated once every week or two. Mobile apps will be updated less frequently, and depending on your device’s settings, these updates may happen automatically.

We recommend keeping both web and mobile apps updated to ensure the best performance and access to the latest features. (As a friendly reminder, Chrome is our recommended browser.)

The Voly Projects Integration links Pinpoint Works points and sites with Voly’s accounting features, making managing budgets, tasks, and payments easier. Users can sync data between the platforms and track project expenses in real-time. Setting it up involves authorizing the connection on both platforms.

Account Admins can create and manage fleets by grouping selected sites into an "asset", and hosting several assets under one fleet. They can configure assets with cost fields, labels, and custom fields. Fleets can be shared with other users, with the security of knowing that any user viewing a fleet will only ever see data from sites they already have permission to access.

The Cost Custom Field has been updated, and we now support all currencies that Voly supports. The point card will show the 3-letter currency code alongside the currency symbol, so USD $ rather than $, to avoid confusion between Australian dollars and US dollars, for example. Important activities and exports will only show the currency's symbol for simplicity.

We can now archive sites. Reach out to your Account Manager, and they'll take care of it for you.

The Admin role has been renamed "Site Admin" to avoid confusion with the new Account Admin role.

Introducing our new role of "Account Admin." You will have all the access rights that a Site Admin has, plus:

In the three-dot menu of a point card, there is a new option to "copy link to point." This copies a link to the point directly to the clipboard, so you do not have to click into and copy the URL.

Points in the Site List or Overview Table grouped using the "Group By" presentation will now be reflected in Excel exports. If a group collapses, this will be mimicked in exports.

Users can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Pinpoint Works account, adding an extra security layer. The code can be sent to their mobile device by SMS or WhatsApp. Choosing "Set up 2FA later" will prompt the 2FA pop-up to reappear after 90 days. 2FA can be set up during Login or in "Profile Settings."

Admin users can assign a Red Flag to a point to make it stand out or increase the priority.

Normal and guest users cannot alter a point's flagged status, but flagging is visible to everyone with access to that point.

Read more in the Red Flags article.

A "Reset Table" button has been added to the site Point list, Overview list, and Timeline. With a single click, Filters, Sorting, Grouping, etc., can be easily disabled.

"User Settings" has been renamed "Profile Settings" to clarify the functionality in this area.

Bulk exporting points to XLSX files now ensures that cells are typed to match the Custom Field type. For instance, percentages will export as Excel's percentage type, while currency values will export as Excel's currency type, ensuring compatibility and accuracy.

The Point Card has a refreshed look on split screen and full screen.

It is visually cleaner and intuitive, as it adds more white space in areas and removes unnecessary elements to make a more cohesive design.

You can now easily update your email address in User Settings. Once you've chosen a new email, a verification link will be sent to it. Additionally, your old email address will be notified of this change. Account Owners can resend the verification email from User Management, similar to how they can resend invitation emails.

Read more in the Update Email Address article.

Upon updating or resetting your password, you will receive a confirmation email verifying the successful change. This is to help keep your login secure.

The Saved Views feature allows you to save your site preferences and create default views on individual sites.
You can choose either or all of the preferences in the table menu (Filters, Sorting, Grouping, Table Columns or Keyword Search) and save them under 'Views'.
​
You can create your own Views or share them with other users on the site.

notification panel. The thumbs-up symbol turns blue when a comment is liked. If another user has liked the comment, it remains grey with a blue outline.

Only Admin users can move points. You must have Admin access on the source site and the destination sites to move points. This is available through the bulk change feature in the floating menu or through the individual point card itself.

Open the point card, then click the 3-vertical dot icon in the top right corner of the point card.
You will have the option to select which of the following point information to copy across - Activities, Comments, Photos, Videos, Files or Description. Once a point has been moved, the point will have a new ID number on the destination site.

Copying points:

Admin and Normal users (no Tags or Advanced Access Level options selected) can copy points within the same site or to another site.

Now, you can create up to three groups, allowing you to group your points by multiple criteria. Maintain better control and categorization of your data without overwhelming complexity.

Improved Grouping Display

Collapse Groups
Simply hover over a group, and an arrow will appear in the group header. Clicking on the arrow will collapse or expand the group menu.

Total Value Display
To provide better insights, the group header will now include the total value of CFs (Custom Fields) within each group. Stay informed about cumulative values effortlessly.

We offer Per User and Per Yacht/Project subscriptions to Pinpoint Works. Those with Per User subscriptions will now be given information when the user and site limits are reached on the account.

User limits:

If an Admin user tries to add a user over the limit allowed in their subscription, a pop-up will appear to say you can add new users but will be invoiced for them. You can then add the new user by clicking the ‘Add user’ button. If you do not wish to add this new user click the ‘Cancel’ button on the pop-up.

Note: Up to 10 Guest users per Admin user subscription may be added for free to the account.

Contact your account manager or info@pinpointworks.com to add additional users to your account.

Site limits:

A pop-up will be displayed when you have reached the limit for the number of sites which can be added to your account.

Note: All Per User accounts include 10 sites. Additional sites can be purchased separately in groups of 10.

Contact your account manager or info@pinpointworks.com to add additional users to your account.

Unused sites or sites created in error can now be deleted by Admin users. All points must be deleted or moved from the site before the site can be deleted. This includes Completed and Cancelled points which must be filtered to be seen.

If there are other users on the site, they will be deleted and sent an email notifying them that the site has been deleted.

Once these steps are taken, select ‘Delete site’ from the Site Settings icon to delete the site. Once a site is deleted, this action cannot be undone.

Previously all videos had to be fully loaded in the web app before playing them, but can now be streamed instantly depending on your internet connection.

Dashboard dashlets can now be exported to their own PDF report. Click the 'more' icon next to the Dashboard header, then select the dashlets to export. The PDF will be downloaded in the browser.

Alternatively, right-click on any dashlet to copy it as an image and paste into other reports as needed.

When points are grouped in the Timeline, click on a point from the left-side list to open the point card and edit details. Clicking on the point in the Timeline calendar will also open the point card.

Searching keywords within the table now highlights the search term within comments. Open the point card from the table to see the searched word highlighted in blue in the Activity section.

Keywords searched in the User Settings page are now highlighted in the user table.

Note: only Admin users have access to the User Settings page.
