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.
