Open Report after Download Checkbox:
- A new checkbox has been added to the download dialogs for both Reports and Appointments, visible with a tooltip.
- The checkbox is enabled only when a single item is selected (indicated by the 'X' in the first column). When no items or multiple items are selected, the checkbox is disabled or ignored.
- By default, the checkbox is enabled. Any changes made to its state will be saved and restored the next time the dialog is used.
- The settings for the Report and Appointment dialogs will be saved separately.
Improved Comment Window Navigation:
- When opening the Comments window, the focus now starts on the first comment, making it quicker to navigate and select comments with the keyboard.
- Tab navigation has been improved across the product, making it easier to move between fields.
- The
Ctrl+A
(Select All) shortcut now works in more areas, allowing faster selection in grids.
New "Edit All Comments" Feature:
- Added a new function to easily navigate and edit all populated comments in a report, similar to the "Edit All Photos" feature. This feature allows inspectors to review and edit each non-blank comment in the report for improved accuracy before publishing. It also stops at items excluded from the report, providing a complete review experience. General Info comments and Overview headers/footers are not included in this function, as per customer request.
-
In the "Go" menu, two new options are available:
- Edit All Comments From Start
- Edit All Comments From Current
- A new "Edit All Comments" option has been added to the Find dropdown in the main toolbar.
Improved Visual Indicators for Excluded Items:
- Added visual cues (red border/header) in the comment editor to clearly show when inspection items in excluded sections are omitted from the report.
- Items in excluded sections will now have a grey background in the inspection items list for easier identification.
Resolved Issues
- Fixed the bug where "&" saved as a default and is an auto comment would break the form.
- Fixed the bug where selecting Cancel for "Do you want to save changes to this report?" will close the software without saving the report.
-
Fixed an issue where the Find Unanswered tool would not proceed if there was a placeholder image for the cover image.
