Release Notes - 2019-09-26

Over the past few weeks, we've released a number of fixes and improvements to BlueFolder. Here's a summary of what's been updated.

New UI for the Mobile Web App

Screen_Shot_2019-09-13_at_3.00.15_PM.pngOur mobile web application is a subset of our main web app that is designed for technicians to use on their smartphones in the field. We recently released a complete refresh of the user interface that provides an easier and more consistent experience on mobile devices.

Renamed "Views" to "Smart Lists"

One of our newer features is "Smart Lists", which allows you to create a variety of pre-defined work order lists for your account. You can build work order lists with pre-defined filters, custom list columns, user permissions, and more. It's super-powerful and available in our Pro Plus and Enterprise plans. We used to call it "Views" but that didn't sit well with us, so we've renamed that feature to "Smart Lists". Learn more about Smart Lists here.

User Group Improvements 

We recently updated user groups by adding a calendar feed URL. This allows you to subscribe to the calendar events for all users in a user group with a single link. For example, if a team manager wanted to see all their team members BlueFolder calendars in Outlook, they could create a new calendar in Outlook and choose "From Internet", then paste in the "iCal Feed" URL from the user groups list in their BlueFolder Settings. This will add a new calendar to Outlook containing all the calendar events for the users belonging to the user group in BlueFolder.

Other Improvements

  • Added "Start Time" to the Work Order Items custom report dataset.
  • Added a "Notification CC Email Address" to user profiles. All notifications sent to a user will also be sent to this address.
