July 15Th 2025 Releases

Overview

Why this matters: This update brings real workflow wins across Sales Velocity, Project Management, and Admin controls. From smarter task handling to file management improvements, these features are designed to keep your business running smoothly. Here's everything in this release.


Release Highlights

📋 Proposals & Sales

Finance-Type Selection for Document Templates

Assign finance types to any document template to ensure only the relevant docs appear based on the proposal's financing method. Less clutter, more accuracy.

Disable "Others" in Adders

Remove the "Others" option from adders with a new toggle so reps can only choose from predefined values — no more custom entries that don't match your system.

Multiple Category Selection for HVAC Items (Good/Better/Best)

HVAC items can now be assigned to multiple categories (e.g., "Good," "Better," and "Best"). In proposals, they appear in all assigned dropdowns until one is selected.


⚙️ Project Management

Predefined Job Stage Values from Attachments

When a service provider uploads an attachment tagged with a predefined service value, the system automatically updates the input field based on that upload. Less manual data entry!

No Stage Changes During Change Order Progression

While a change order is pending, stages can't be modified — only fields can be updated. A banner notifies users. To move stages, the change order must be canceled first.

Service Maintenance After Project Completion

You can now schedule service or maintenance work once a project is complete. Set service types from the database, and both assignee and customer are notified by email.

Chat File Uploads Appear in Attachments

Files uploaded in project chat are now automatically added to the attachments section — keeping everything organized without extra steps.

Rename Files in Job Stages

You can now rename files uploaded in job stages directly from the project view — no need to reupload.


🎨 Design & Site Survey

Shading Info in Design Requests

Designers can now view a dedicated "Shading Information" section across all design request types, including Aurora, AI, and Scanifly.

Pinpoint House Location for Designers

Sales reps can now mark exact house locations on the map during design requests. Designers access these using the "House Address Pin Image" button.


🔧 Admin & Configuration

File Visibility in Job Stage Inputs

For "File" job stage inputs, admins can now set visibility as public or private directly from the database.

Add Announcements on Home Page

Admins can now post announcements on the home page. Request your Account Manager to enable the feature, configure visibility, and keep your team informed.

Audio & Video Uploads in Perfect Packet

Perfect Packet now supports MP3 and video uploads (up to 30MB), giving you more flexibility with project documentation.

Pro Tips

🏆 Assign finance types to your document templates — this simple setup step prevents wrong documents from appearing in proposals.

🏆 Disable "Others" in adders — if your team should only use predefined adder values, flip this toggle to prevent freestyle entries.

🏆 Use announcements for team updates — instead of sending emails, post time-sensitive info on the home page where everyone sees it.
